I mean it's a 10% joke, 90% real answer but their hygiene standards.
Like seriously, everything in their culture is more about hygiene from taking shoes off at the door, wearing a mask so others don't get sick etc. Because of those high standards, that means they can experiment with food more such as eating raw fish, eggs and experimenting with fermentation.
Place that into their sex lives and it's a factor that they didn't have monkeypox because they didn't have lots of gays having disgusting orgies with random guys with no protection. Until 'diversity' came knocking which is one of the reasons they want them gone..
Raw eggs aren't even that dangerous. Also, the standards imposed by the government here in America actually makes the risk worse - it's still relatively small, but still worse than Japan - since how sellers are forced to wash their eggs breaks the protective membrane, letting what's outside get inside the egg. I think it's still like 1 in 30k eggs in America could be tainted.
Most civilizational behaviors are related to illness and hygiene. I've often said that jewish traditions around food preparations and the concept of "kosher" foods is basically a Bronze Age way of maintaining sanitation during food prep. If you have no idea what Germ Theory is, a priest working traditional ways that you know won't make god give you a disease actually makes a ton of sense.
I wouldn't be surprised if Japanese obsession with cleanliness prevented disease, even in potentially rancid environments (like raw fish as you point out), and sex, prevented the spread of disease.
So, the answer to my question is what I thought it was.
It was the gallons of piss.
That was the difference.
What's japanese for "We're degenerates, not savages"?
