Nonetheless, eating Kentucky Fried Chicken on Christmas is a Japanese tradition.
Less than 1 percent of Japan's population identifies as Christian, but the holiday has been adopted on a secular level. And one of those stalwart Christmas traditions in Japan includes a visit to KFC for Christmas dinner. In fact, an estimated 3.6 million people in Japan celebrate with Christmas dinner at KFC.
The tradition started in 1970 when the manager of the first KFC in Japan started marketing and selling a “party barrel” as a substitute for Christmas turkey. Apparently, this initiative worked, and people still flock to the fast-food chain for their fill of Christmas fried chicken.

Life expectancy is only that high in Okinawa. Old Asian people lie all the time about their age due to no records of birth. Also there is more than plenty of crap food in Japan. If someone could just stop the anime we'd be great.

#9 Nobody would eat raw horsemeat in the west, but I guess giving it a japanese name makes it sound cool and delicate and people would want to eat it.

Mat,
I've had it. It was delicious! My Japanese friends didn't tell me what it was until after I ate it.
#11 Beer in outdoor vending machines was a much appreciated surprise for me.

Mat,
I am French, and you can get a horse tartare. (raw meat). It minced meat with capers, onions and various other seasonings.
And it tastes great.
