What do you think of when you hear <the best in the world>?
A topic such as "What is the most XX in the world ..." is one of the topics that can be enjoyed by anyone. There is no loss in knowing it.
So this time"acure Lounge』\ Then＜ World's best＞ Among them, above all＜ Japan is the best in the world＞I paid attention to. From "I knew, I knew!" To "Is that the best in the world ?!", unique and niche. Let's take a look!
Not just the familiar ones! Interesting that Japan is proud of <the best in the world>
You may think of "the best XX in the world", but what is "Japan is the most XX in the world"?
まず思いつくのは、きっと「長寿」ですよね！
As you know, Japan is said to be "the longest-lived country in the world" (* 1).
According to a summary by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the average life expectancy of Japanese is 81.41 years for men and 87.45 years for women. It is said that "100 years of life", but it may not be an exaggeration!

The secret of longevity cannot be unequivocally stated, but it is the result of each individual's efforts and efforts, such as paying attention to food and exercising. Is also said to have an effect.
It has a deep relationship with everyone and with < acure >, and this is also <the best in the world>!
Public health and security are one of the surprises for many travelers visiting Japan from abroad. The symbolic thing is the "vending machine"!
Overseas, in order to prevent theft and damage, it seems that it is often installed in indoor facilities or made sturdy enough to withstand destruction (the one in Germany in the photo). Before that, there are still many countries where the number of vending machines is small.
Yes, you have already noticed, right?

Although the number of popular vehicles is over 4.94 million, which is the second largest after the United States of about 6.5 million, it is installed at a ratio of 1 in 42 people to the population, and boasts the highest population ratio in the world.
< acure > vending machine There are so many different types of drinks in Japan, such as drinks, sweets, ice cream, toys, and so on, that you might think, "Maybe there is something you can't buy at a vending machine now ...?!" Vending machines are active.
Nowadays, I sometimes hesitate to get in close contact with people, and the nice thing about vending machines is that you can quickly get what you want without having to meet each other.
とはいえ最近では、お天気や災害の情報を知らせてくれたり、自分に合った商品をおすすめしてくれたり、と、“欲しいものを素早く購入する”だけでなく、“情報発信やコミュニケーション”といった新たな機能を備えたものも増えてきています。
acure 's" Innovation vending machine "(Upper right in the photo) is one of them. You can even buy drinks without touching the vending machine (* 3). One of the reasons why Japan is a “vending machine powerhouse” superior to other countries is that it has such “technical capabilities” as well as good security.

Surprisingly & unique ?! Food-related <Japan is the best in the world>
Next, let's take a look at <Japan is the best in the world> related to food.
Unfortunately, Japan often follows other countries in terms of production of major crops, but in reality, this is the best place in the world. That is "imported beef"!
でも、国内で牛肉が食べられるようになったのは意外と最近で、明治維新以降のこと。それ以前は、牛肉はもとより肉食自体、公的には認められておらず、「薬食い（くすりぐい）」と呼ばれ、こっそりと食されていたのだそう。
With the Meiji Restoration, the ban on meat eating has been lifted so that everyone can eat meat by shaking the giants! Thanks to that, it became possible to ingest high-quality protein from meat, and the life span of Japanese people was further extended ... There is even a theory.
At the beginning, I mentioned the topic that "Japan has the longest life in the world", but it seems that the influence of "food" is enormous for longevity.
さらにさらに、日本はこんなユニークな＜世界一＞ホルダーでもあります。
Japan is "the world's largest octopus consumption"!
It is calculated that Japan consumes nearly 60% of the world's harvest! How much do we like octopus ...
When you look at the world, in some countries it is hated for religious reasons, and it is sometimes called "Devilfish". Crop Top in China. However, even in China, consumption is not high, and there are still a minority of countries that have a culture of eating octopus.
ちなみに国内における「タコの消費量」トップはどの都道府県だと思いますか？
The correct answer is Sapporo! I'm sorry, I thought it was in the Kansai area ... But don't worry, Sakai City is second and Osaka City is third, and as the food culture shows, there are many people who love octopus in Kansai!
There was exactly <the best in the world> in Japan and in acure!
Lastly, I would like to introduce Japan to the world.＜ The best in the world born in Japan＞..
ズバリ「世界一」という名のりんごです！

It may be difficult to convey in the photo, but it is not surprising to hear that it is a large species that weighs as much as 1 kg. At the time of development, the name comes from the fact that there was a conversation among the people involved, "This is the biggest apple in the world."
