A long lifespan is nothing to brag about if the last few years are spent bed-ridden due to ill health. Japan also has high rates of stomach cancer. You know why?

Soy sauce + ketchup = a helluva lot of salt
In return, can we make basmati the rice of Japan? Or at least not tax it by 700%. Certainly a lot healthier.

If someone commercializes the rice aspect of Indian cuisine then it could become successful. The problem is that most rice based dishes in India are cooked at a restaurant by families and independent shops, so you do not get the top-down variation that exists in Japan.

They will be more successful if they diversify into things other than soy sauce to create brand recognition first.
Hope they are aware that it is not just the ketchup brands (most of which are well entrenched in the Indian market) that they will be competing against. Many Indians prefer chutneys (and not ketchup) with their snacks, and most ketchup brands have diversified into selling ready to eat chutneys already.
