Well if one insists on eating like a westerner in Japan it will be expensive. But personally I would enjoy not being bombarded with such heavy food and obscenely large portions.

My usual lunch of kimchi ramen, sesame nori, and tea costs me less than $2.50. If I go out to lunch, I can't even get a fruit smoothie for that, and I will probably spend closer to $10.00 if its not fast food.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
