Did you know?
The top three average life expectancy in the world, by country:
3rd Singapore – 83.1 years old
2nd Switzerland – 83.4 years old
1st Japan – 83.7 years old
(WHO World Health Statistics 2016)
One of the reasons why the average life expectancy of the Japanese is long is said to be in Japanese food. Foods that are the foundation of Japanese cuisine are brewed foods such as sake, soy sauce, miso, vinegar, and mirin.
Brewed food contributes not only to the deliciousness of the food, but also to the healthy life of Japanese people. Aichi prefecture is the only one in Japan that produces all five brewed foods.
