There are so many great fish egg products available in Japan, and sorry to say this, but caviar is way over rated, and way over priced.

Should be a success, then!

Bread? Healthuy? The US national Institute of Health, NIH seems to think so.. they advise, with their Food Group, food pyramid and calories that grains should be eaten 5-6X daily, to even make up to 15% of one's daily intake. Yet, it's more like 11X daily, as they broaden the recommendation to foods high in starches to 11 servings in which the 6 servings of grains are included. So those 11 servings include bread, pasta, and cereal on top of potatoes, rice, and corn. The only thing not in the grain category there is the potato.
What they don't tell, and you should keep in mind as you munch on your sandwiches, is that all grains are high in lectin plant phenols, chemicals that desensitize cell membranes to insulin, causing insulin over production. Grains are also high in leptin plant hormones that interrupt signaling between the liver and pancreas, causing insulin disruptions. These 2 cause obesity and diabetes2.
Wheat and most other grains raise blood sugar. A slice of organic whole wheat bread raises blood sugar more than a candy bar. Grains are high in carbs that fatten. Digested carbs 1st top-up muscle and liver glycogen, stored sugar. The rest is rapidly converted to body fat in the cells' mitochondria via the Krebs cycle. Digested fat only slowly converts to useable energy molecules in the liver. Grains' carbs raise artery-calcifying tri-glycerides; are high in phytates that block calcium and iron absorption. White flour has residual chlorine from bleaching that depletes immune-boosting body-stores of selenium.
If the NIH advice is so skewed, where's accurate advice. Not in the world's top 2 health newsletters.. whose writers often parrot NIH outdated theories. The Our Food Guide, part of a new 11 Guide set on optimum Heakth is on my site. google the site, it's next to my name at the top.

It's hard to get a decent sandwich in Japan. Wasabi is great with sushi, but horrible in mayonnaise, spoiling about 90% of the sandwiches I've had in this country.
Wasabi is flavor that can't be ignored. It should be offered as an option.
