In This Economy, What $6 Gets You in Tokyo? | Japan byFood

Japan byFood is challenging Shizuka to find the absolute best meals in Tokyo for under ¥1,000 (US$6)—in this economy, what kind of food can we get at that price? It’s time to see how far a single ¥1,000 note can go when you skip the fast food chain and eat the local-only cheap eats.

    Where I live, the only restaurant that has Onigiri is a 45min drive. And 1 onigiri is $7. I miss Japan so much…

    Hey Shizuka! Are you really Shizuka? This video was such a great guide for 1,000 yen meals in Tokyo. It’s amazing how much high-quality food you can still find in the city without breaking the bank.

    You dug into two massive, freshly made rice balls at Yamataro Onigiri; they looked incredible. The sukiyaki filling with the creamy egg yolk and the spicy tuna mayo both seemed like such a steal for the size!

    It was quite a coincidence that you got interviewed by the same news reporter twice in two years!

    ところで、最近、ステファニーさんはビデオに出ないですね。

    Such a great video, really enjoyed watching this from start to finish.
    The way you put everything together was super engaging!

    Today I got Duck Udon for 680 yen at Nishi-Nippori station. Nothing fancy but tasty, filling and cheap at twice the price.

    We All Hope Everyone In Japan is Safe and Well…We Heard That Japan Had a 7.0 Earthquake…Let Us Know You are Safe…..Concerned from California

    OMG RYO did it. I visited this place back in 2024 and made a friend.Ryo is such a cool guy very chill. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxing. The food is amazing he sometimes offers crocettes and if he does get them IMMEDIATELY they are one of my favorites. I fell genuinely happy for Ryo because he deserves it.

    Flight prices have doubled for me since 2018, Hotels are like 50 euro or more per night. But you can count on the food in Japan.
