There's this really good place in Shibuya that was like, 200 yen per dish. It was fantastic. It's under a bridge and then down a alley. If you know your basics it's easy to order. That was my favorite food the whole time I was there.
Food is cheaper than you think in Japan. In Harajuku, just go down alleys. Don't go with to main street restaurants. Shintaka street (I think) had some small restaurants, but they were HEAPS more expensive than the small places. I spent $15 a day tops on food. And I always ate out, except for breakfast.
Lollies are cheap too.

No it's not, I could do New York on hot dog carts and cheap pizza slices and spend $15 a day but you miss the point and not to mention ... UGH !
For most of you Japan is going to be a once in a lifetime trip and as MMM has constantly stated "Why would you want to do it as a homeless/poor person ?"
This person is on a school trip and probably will not stumble across "It's under a bridge and then down an alley" places. Except every place I ate at was at a similar address.
I had a Big Mac in Tokyo because I wanted to taste a Big Mac in Tokyo, not because I could only afford 500 yen for food.
Combini food is better quality then your used to but it's still a crap meal when you think about it
