I just got back from my local Hallo Mart where I bought 4 large bannanas for 60 yen and a pack of 3 cucumbers and 10 ochra for 60 yen also. I picked up a 2 pack of 100% japanaese bean tofu for 100 yen. These were all found in the bargain basket/section.
Note to all beer drinkers...
KIRIN, SAPPORO and ASAHI all make various versions of beer. The ones you know and love are EXPENSIVE. Nearly all rate at 270 yen (100ml).
You can always buy the less well known lines by these famous breweries for a fraction of the price. They are always trying to market the beer in different ways and as a savvy beer drinker you can take advantage.
I love my Kirin, but 270 yen is too much, so now I drink Kirin Strong Seven which sells for 170 (100ml) and not only is very strong (7%) but tastes real good too.
You should have a good browse of the beer section in the super and take advantage of the new lines.
If you just want to get smashed then the CHU-HI drinks sell for about 150 yen (100ml) and can be 8% alc. Are very easy to drink and give a very painful hangover
The Chu-hi are a mix of fruit juice and pure alc. ENJOY!!!
