hmm...that is a really tough question. i'd have to say it's probably yakitori (grilled chicken on skewers) followed by sushi, in a close second. that's a tough question because i like so many different japanese foods. i'd say most of what i have tried is good. in fact it's my favorite cuisine.

Both are probably healthier than most other popular cuisines...(i.e. italian, mexican, etc.)

True true. If i stuck to just those two i could probably loose the weight i need to loose

yeah well those cuisines are high in heathy polyunsaturated fats, high in Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish, certain plant oils such as olive oil, etc.), and low in the bad fats that are saturated, hydrogenated and the like.

but heck...with the hot weather in your town...you could stand outside and melt it off! :)
