The underlying reason... If I could generalize, 1. Japanese have smaller stomach and appetite. 2. Single people in Japan usually live alone. (Even students rarely share rooms/house.) 3. People prefer foods wrapped/packed in a smaller size or quantity, so that they won't remain any and still keep the rest fresh. Tortillas and Salsa are rare in Japan yet, but I think they will be popular for the good taste in future. I think, to keep out humidity, both of the items are
