Matsuya > Restaurant > Under 500 Yen

Tokyo it is reassuring to know that wherever you are in you are never further than walking distance from a two course hot meal for 350 yen. It’s not fancy but then that’s not the point when you’re flat broke in the most expensive city on earth. For your money you get a decent serving of boiled rice with scratchings of fried pork, a miso soup and hot tea. The pork might look a little dubious and certainly the ratio of meat to fat is extremely variable (check your horoscope in advance) but it will fill you up and warm your stomach for the lowest cost in Tokyo.

Note – There are other things on the menu – vegetable curry, beef and salad – all similarly basic and cheap but if you are really counting the 1 yen coins then pork is your future.
