When I decided to travel to Japan, I wanted two things.
Experience it in a Local way, trying to experience things I wouldn’t have access to in the US. To me this meant eating the foods that the Japanese eat daily. @YasumiKikuchi took that challenge and taught me something important.
Japan, even Tokyo during peak Cherry Blossom week, doesn’t have to be expensive! Quite opposite, with some good Lists from experts like Yasumi, you can easily eat food that is VERY CHEAP and yet still very good quality.
What Yasumi as a local would consider to be “medium” quality for a super fast Japanese traditional Business Man’s breakfast, I would consider to be “good” at the very least.

This shop is famous for Tachigui soba. This name refers to Japanese buckwheat noodles that you would eat quickly while standing. A quick meal on the way to the train and work!
This shop is open 24 hours a day.
450 yen = $4.03 US…it was enough for the two of us to share with the addition of a tempura shrimp - delicious!!!
And like many business in Japan, this one is CASH ONLY.
