Just about any restaurant located in the "food courts" of major Japanese department stores will get you a meal for a reasonable price. Also, any of the "Mom & Pop" restaurants located in, and outside of, the major cities will get you meals like tonkatusu (pork cutlet) complete with rice, soup and salad at a decent price. Anywhere from 700 yen on up. And 100 yen/plate sushi places are still popular.
In my opinion it is really not that expensive to eat out in Japan if one knows where to go.
I agree that it's not really that difficult to find reasonably priced restaurants in Japan. To a considerable extent, it's mainly a matter of keeping your eyes open and choosing carefully. A good general rule is that smaller, non-fancy restaurants tend to have reasonable prices. Also, many train stations will have at least a few reasonable restaurants in the vicinity. Finally, while it is true that some expensive restaurants have a few samples in a case at the entrance, the restaurants that have large displays of samples will nearly always have reasonable prices, which will be posted with the samples.Just about any restaurant located in the "food courts" of major Japanese department stores will get you a meal for a reasonable price.

Check out this link translated by Google for Rena's Kitchen. The English is not that great, but it should give you some idea about it. Hopes this helps. The original Japanese site is here.

What other food bargains do you know of that could have been mentioned
Japanese convenience stores have to be some of the best for bargin hunters. I regularly used them for quick fixes (hot noodles after a raining and cold trip around Nikko) or a tastey tonkatusu . It's also hard to beat the good old fashioned sandwich when you are flying around the country on a Shinkansen. Don't know whether I can post pics yet, but my favourite was cheese and ham in that funny Japanese bread. Huge slices of sweet fluffy bread. Chipstars are also good and my absolute favourite was the chocolate called 'Crunky'.
hey what kind of snack is really typical japanese?
hey can you inform me, if i go to a restaurant what shall i order?
what's the best dish you can order?
(dont make a thread about this,lol)
please response me
*Kayo*
...my absolute favourite was the chocolate called 'Crunky'.
That bread is good! I bought a sandwich on a Shinkansen last year and it was about 6 inches thick, but had thin bread slices without any crust. It was a combination deviled egg, tuna and some other (cucumbers, if memory serves). It was good. It was basically 3-4 sandwiches put together.
I should have mentioned that I bought the ingredients and then made my own sandwiches on the train. This really makes them cheap
I've also had some of the station sandwiches ArmandV mentions (those with no crust). They can be good if you are in a hurry, but beware - you can get some very strange filling combinations and they have a tendency to explode mayonaise or watery dressing when you bite inMy favourite ones though, were filled with the breaded pork cutlets. mmmm tastey and filling.
Yep! One part of it did "explode" mayo and deviled egg on my shirt and camera case.
That sounds nasty! Well, it happens to the best of us I guess!I'd never believe that a sandwich could contain so much liquid
Makes you glad you picked up the free tissues on the streets (another top recommendation BTW)
