I'm a japanese descendant from Brazil and I'm going to Japan Shizuoka-ken in some days.

I would like to know what kind of cheap and good food is there in the next two months and where I can get it.

Cheap ramen is everywhere. Like you can't throw a pebble without it hitting two ramen shops.

Thanks!

I have listed lamen, udon, mc donalds, caloriemates...

Any more?

Matsuya is a good place to go for pork bowls, beef bowls, and curry.

You can go to local places where they sell soba sets for less than 700 yen, I think.

A bento from any combini is a good meal.

Saizeriya is a good restaurant and VERY cheap, you can have a nice appetizer, main course and dessert for under 1200 yen.

I wouldn't recommend Denny's, as they have bland food and high prices.

You can get a good lunch for under 1000 yen, usually.

Yoshinoya is also a really good beef bowl place.

Jonathan's is like a cheaper Denny's.

And here's some words you might look for

カレー: curry
カレーライス: curry with rice
うどん: udon noodles
そば: soba (buckwheat) noodles. Always order warm (atatakai)　
ラーメン: ramen noodles, you can find them CHEAP
定食: teishoku - literally a set meal. If you see this, it's probably a good value
食べ放題: tabehoudai - All you can eat.
回転寿司 - kaitenzushi - a conveyor belt sushi restaurant where you can eat according to your budget, with different plates having different price tags.
辛い: karai - spicy
甘い: amai - sweet

Thanks this will be of great value (I can read and write in hiragana and katakana but I don't know much words and kanji, just the basic...

I'm a Japanese living in Hamamatsu-city,Shizuoka-ken
Where in Shizuoka are you going to visit?

Do you know Japanese green tea?
Shizuoka is famous for it.
And also,mikan(like orange) is delicious!

You can buy all of them in Super-markets.they are low price too.

If you have enough money,
I recommend you to try eel(unaju or unadon).
I think it wii cost about 2000yen.

Although this site is written in Japanese, please check it if you want.

Thanks to you all, I'm back from Japan.

I was most of the time in Shimizu (Something like Shizuoka-ken Shizuoka-shi Shimizu-ku) but in the 1 week japanese vacation I traveled a lot using a rail pass.

Returning to food:
Udon, soba, lamen, and combini food were all good and cheap.
Instant noodles was pretty good considering their price.

I also eate eggs, salmon and chicken prepared by myself (very cheap)

beef, milk, butter, cheese and other foods related to cow are expensive.

The factory cafeteria (at least I think that this should be the correct translation) seved good meals for something about 200yen (some brazilians don't like the food served there since they don't seem to be used to japanese food)

Curry and the eel (I haven't bought eel in a restaurant only in the plane and in the cafeteria) were too sweet for my taste, if you like japanese curry it's a cheap good meal. I only liked the indian curry (but this one is more expensive and not so easy to find). (I'm not used to sweet curry since my mother is from Okinawa and not from the bigs islands)

Japanese people seems to love pepper, even if I like pepper there are some dishes very spicy even for me, they seems to like it almost like koreans.

Fruit juice are cheap if you buy a 1.5l (1500cc) bottle.

Melon pan only buy it fresh made, the ones sold in combinis are just sweet breads (but it's hard to find someone making it fresh) chocolate, candies, cakes and all are almost always delicious.

Green tea is everywhere (chocolate, ice cream, milk-shakes, cakes, dognuts...) I bought some good Shizuoka green tea as omiyage.

Thanks again, see you later.

Vaguely on-topic but also not... does canned oden really exist?

Because when we went looking for that sort of amusing random stuff, we couldn't find anything remotely interesting.

>>8
Canned Oden really exists.
But you seldom find it except when you visit Akihabara, Tokyo.

Here is a picture. You can see "Oden" in Hiragana in front of the can.

Further question, aside from it only existing in Akihabara, why has it been portrayed as an otaku food staple? Because it's food you can get even if you're a recluse who can't talk to people?

I guess it is because Akihabara is regarded as a center of Otakus.
In Akihabara there are many computer shops, game shops, Doujin shops, Manga, Anime shops...etc. There are a lot of Otakus' favorite goods.

Canned Oden first appeared in Akihabara. So many people think it is also one of otaku goods.

you can see the pic of Oden Can.
