Yeah why is that? I’m sure Japan in known for other foods besides Sushi; and I correct? Isn’t Japanese food supposed to be super healthy? What are the healthy types of Japanese foods and what are the foods to avoid which aren’t healthy?
I think it’s because you are not in Japan at the moment. Most non-Japanese people only know sushi, unfortunately. So, basically, it’s about selling food.
I think the most unhealthy food are those not prepared properly. You’ll end up with salmonella or dead (in the case of puffer fish and extremely bad food poisoning)

Maybe that’s the only food they know how to make really well.

Although sushi bars serve mainly sushi, even there you can get soup, seaweed salad, dumplings, that sort of thing. A lot of american japanese restaurants also have hibachi (which is like japanese barbeque or a japanese steakhouse).
Hibachi is sort of healthy (although it depends on the kind of oil they use, the kind of meat you order (they have beef, chicken, shrimp, tofu) and the kind of rice you choose. Clear japanese soups, as well as miso soup are also healthy.

for the same reason and Italian restaurant will only carry Italian food and so on…. dont forget that that its their etnicity and they are to promote the food of their origin. besides there is nothing like sushi!! hate me but even though Iam hispanic I could leave out of sushi.
Japanese food is always healthy. Japanese are know for their healthy eating habits.

Most Japanese restaurants serve a lot of sushi because that’s what their customers going there want.Some Japanese restaurants that are larger and more upscale also have a varied menu of kitchen cooked foods like terriyaki,or udon.Some with grill rooms make a whole evening of entertaining while cooking your meal.Probably the least healthy type of food is the fried foods,like tempura,which is breaded and deep fried.
