Recent surveys reveal that despite a gradual decline, the average daily salt intake for Japanese men and women remains considerably higher than international recommendations. The National Health and Nutrition Survey in 2019 found that Japanese men consumed an average of 10.9 grams of salt per day, while women consumed 9.3 grams. This means Japanese people eat a day far more sodium than recommended by global health organizations.
