I'm HUNGRY! haha OK, so your stomach is crying out its dear soul for sustenance
and your wallet is A-okay for something cheap or something a little more exquisite. From ramen shops to upscale restaurants, you can be pretty sure there's no
way you can go hungry. For the play-it-safe westerner, there's McDonald's, Starbucks, T.G.I.Fridays, Yoshinoya, Wendy's, Denny's, and 7-Eleven. For the
more adventurous types, you've got your pick of the litter with smaller and more casual restaurants (just be sure to practice your Japanese!) that includes delicious
bowls of curry, freshly cooked ramen noodles soaked in hearty broth, flan and exotic ice cream desserts. Most menus are simple, just point and order. But
smaller ramen shops don't have pictures or English, so you're better off studying some Japanese first before even trying to speak broken Japanese to the waiters (many
don't know English that well either). Generally dishes cost around 450 yen (ramen bowl) to 1500 yen (whole meal). Small desserts can go from 400 yen to
800 yen. For the on-the-go shopper, vending machines are EVERYWHERE and the most common products are colas, water, teas, coffees, and various energy drinks and
they cost about 120 yen to 150 yen. Don't forget the money exchange rate to watch your spending: $1 US = 112 Yen as of 8/12/2005. |
