I would say Japanese foods are generally healthier than a lot of western countries' foods. Produce is usually of great quality, less preservatives seem to be used, many things are made through natural processes, which help to retain nutrients, and as far as drinks go, I can tell you many Japanese sports drinks etc. have way less sugar and calories in them than some of their Western (American) counterparts.
That's not to say Japan does not have its share of fattening, heart-attack inducing goodies... but really you can find healthy and unhealthy food anywhere, you just need to educate yourself and know what to look for and what to avoid.
