Japan produces more steel than the United States does:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_steel_production
If the steel is harder, its because it was produced that way, probably so they have to use less of it (it is still an expensive commodity, esp. with prices going the way they are).
Steel is steel guys. "Recycled" steel is chemically, structurally, down to the atomic level, exactly the same as non-'recycled' steel.
Japan has less iron ore. But they produce more steel. That means they're importing...iron ore. The same stuff we use to make steel.
...how some of these 'facts' get disseminated is beyond me, really....
