Contrary to popular opinion, It’s not all rice and sushi in Japan and it’s not always super expensive either, some of the foods in Japan are pretty similar to what i would eat back home.
Take this place for example, レソトラン ソルタナ (Restaurant Sultana?) i walk past it every day on my way home from the station, i’m in and out in less than 15 minutes and i even get to use a knife and fork to eat with.
Fried Chicken with potato salad, lettuce and cabbage for 550 yen.
Hamburger set consisting of a hamburger, egg, fried chicken, potato salad, lettuce and cabbage for 650 yen.
Plain Hamburger, just the burger with an egg …. with potato salad, lettuce and cabbage for 450 yen.
Mix it up a little with mixed fry, a prawn, piece of fish, some fried chicken and you guessed it …. potato salad, lettuce and cabbage for 650 yen.
Another hamburger set … with potato salad, lettuce and cabbage.
Plain hamburger today and some nourishment by way of potato salad, lettuce and cabbage, dirt cheap for 450 yen.
And just for good measure on Saturday mornings i’ll often stop in for bacon and eggs, this doesn’t come with potato salad but it does have lettuce and cabbage for a low low 450 yen.
It’s a good thing i like potato salad i suppose, but what i like even better is that i can feed myself for the week for less than $30 if i need to.
For some more traditional foods in Japan you can check some of these out Okonomiyaki Ramen Flying Noodles or Yamachan Chicken

Damn.. do you have a point card yet? seriously looks good..
bacon and eggs… yummy. bacon’s on the shopping list tonight!
I’m a fan of potato salad myself. Are those dishes usually able to fill you up?
yeh, they pretty much do me, although i snack later at night and a few beers always fills me up too.
… I must admit there’s been a few times in the last few weeks where i’ve had 2 dinners in the one night, this place for a quick and cheap feed then straight to sushi for the taste. Sushi doesn’t fill me up and rather than drop 50 there i go there with some food in my belly first.
LOL! Mate, you do like the fried egg on top, don’t you?
LOVE Eggs JT!
I have to admit, my favorite restaurant in Japan is a little Japanese-style diner in Yokohama called “Tora Hige” that caters mostly to college students and blue-collar types. The portions are satisfying and the food tastes awesome.
I love mom and pop “greasy spoons”!!!
I’ll take that over some chain restaurant anyday!!!!!
what kind of food do you guys eat in Japan that you can only get in Japan?:p
Natto ….. most foods eaten here can be bought elsewhere.
