This is not true.
Rice, various pasta, and vegetable takes up vast majority of a Japanese diet.
The most popular food are curry rice (usuall pork or beef), ramen, soba, udon, various okonomiyaki dish, cha-han (fried rice), etc.
And a simple traditional Japanese meal is a small fish, Rice, miso soup, and veggies. Very low on both volume and calories.
An average meal in Japan consume way less fish than the west consume beef & chicken (which is on pretty much every single menu in US)
Sushi, sukiyaki, korean style yakiniku, beef steak, etc are all popular but expensive as hell and usually a once-in-a-while luxury.
Only popular everyday meal that has very high amount of meat that I can think of is the gyu-don.
If anything, I think Japanese consume too much carbohydrate.
