One-pot stew sets prove popular in Japan with cold spell

TOKYO, Japan - Sales of traditional stews -- called ''nabemono'' in Japan -- packaged as one-person meal sets have been rising fast with the sudden rush of cold weather, with some stores reporting close to a 50% increase in sales. Brisk sales of these single-portion meals at supermarkets across Japan apparently reflect changing lifestyles in Japan, such as the increase of working housewives and school-age children eating on their own before or after evening cram schools.
