Hello there!
Seems people are interested in keeping the cost low while they are in Japan,
so I will try to write about how to keep the expense low on meals :).
Let’s list some of the food chain or place that I found on the net that has good reputation for being reasonable.
| Link to the menu & Logo | Description |
Hanamaru Udon
|
this on is udon noodle chain with very reasonable price small size plain udon at 130yen.
with the small size, you won’t be full though you can add some topping or onigiri (rice ball) or choose other size |
Saizeria
|
Very inexpensive Italian chain. Some spaghetti is served at 299yen. |
Italian Tomato
|
Italian family restaurant. not everything is inexpensive but there is a 300yen hot dog. |
McDonald

World famous burger chain XD! The cheapest burgers are 100yen (hamburger & Chicken Crisp). In Japan, you would get smaller everything though.
Morning menu available (from 5:00 to 10:30). |
Lotteria
|
this is also a burger chain the cheapest menu seems hamburger at 180yen
Morning menu available (to 10:30). |
Subway
|
Sandwich chain.Did not think Subway is inexpensive but if you choose the cheapest sandwich (VEGGIE DELITE) is 300yen, so that is not bad |
Gusto
|
One of the family restaurant chain.This one also depends on what you order. Generally not that inexpensive but some menus are.
ex, mayo corn pizza 399yen |
Joyful
|

The cheapest menu at 290yen small size gyudon. regular size at 350yen. |
Yoshinoya
|
Another gyudon chain.
The cheapest seems regular gyudon at 330yen. |

|

The cheapest seems 240yen mini gyumeshi (= gyudon) |

Side note, some of the morning menu is super reasonable, I may need to search on that in the future!!
