Japan has a baby problem, in that couples are not making enough of them. The country's declining population is scheduled to bottom out of some time in the next 50 years unless the good folks in the bureaucracy figure out a way to raise the GNBP gross national bedroom productivity.
But we'd like to humbly suggest that the solution is staring them right in the face: get people to eat more Japanese food again! The Japanese diet has become increasingly Westernised in the post-war period, which is a shame because native dishes aren't just good for your health, they're good for your private life too A delicacy in East Asia, Japanese suppon has long been associated with wealth, excess and virility.
One reason for this is because lords and nobles would often consume it before their sexy time. History aside, modern science has shown that suppon has an enormous amount of vitamins and minerals, to the point that suppon blood is actually a very healthy beverage. So now you know what to suggest on your next date with Vampire-san.
Ever wondered what keeps Japanese people going through their hour workdays and year lifespans? Chock full of the super healthy antioxidant catechin, nutritionists love the stuff β and so should anyone who wants a healthy sex life. According to sex expert Dr Yvonne K Fulbright, tuna and other fatty fish can help clarify the mind and lift the mood, two things essential for a good sex life.

Long, meaty and slippery Just looking at a Japanese eel might be enough to get some people in the mood. You know this stuff, you just never see it when it looks like a bean. And beans are some of the healthiest things you can eat since they provide similar nutrients to meat and eggs without all the fat and cholesterol. Azuki beans in particular are a great source of iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc and folic acid. Something to think of when you order your third helping of yokan.
