If you only have 2000 yen a day for food, I hope you have more to visit the attractions. The most interesting temples and shrines have entrance fees.
In South Osaka there is a nice temple called, I believe Shitennoji.

Exactly! Well, I don't really eat much, even back home... I mean, I can eat a かつカレー plate for lunch and a plain onigiri and I'll be good for the whole day if I have a bottle of tea.
Anyway, I have lot's of money saved up, so it's not like I don't -have- more money to spend, it's just that I want to spend more on other things*. That's why I've chosen cheap accommodation and put a pretty strict budget for myself. Of course if there's something especially good-but-expensive food you think I should try, I'll keep it in mind!
*Souvenirs, attractions, transport.
Thanks for the tip about Shitennouji! Actually, I've already been there. It's just down the street from my old school! On one of my first days in Japan, knowing no japanese at all, I stumbled across Shitennouji temple on a festival day, when admission was completely free. We even got to go to the top of the towers. Beautiful indeed!
