Japanese restaurants quantify carbon emissions to promote healthier, greener dining

January 28, 2024 | the japan times |

Restaurants in Japan, like Masaka in Tokyo, are displaying carbon emission data on menus, indicating environmental impact alongside nutritional information. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the climate footprint of food choices. While Japan's traditional diet leans towards plant-based options, modern eating habits complicate its carbon efficiency. Researchers suggest balancing diets by increasing whole grain intake and reducing beef and pork consumption for a healthier and more sustainable approach. Certification systems and initiatives promoting low-emission choices are emerging, reflecting a growing environmental consciousness among consumers. Efforts to address methane emissions from agriculture, particularly rice production, are also underway to mitigate Japan's agricultural impact on climate change.
