Cooked or Raw?

You have the best deals for lunch, as the restaurants compete to get customers.

Other than foreign food (European, Chinese, India and etc.), you have a wide selection of Japanese food. The set lunches are called 'teishoku', 'set coursu' (set course) or coursu (course). These range from 800 yen to 1,500 yen.

For the 'Salary-men' (general workers), you could pick up a 'bento' sold in convenience stalls and by street vendors. This packed lunch, consists of rice, meat/fish/vegy, pickel and either soup or desert. At the convenience stalls, they will offer to heat it up in a microwave oven. However, if you buy it from a street vendor, you could heat it in a microwave oven at the office. This will cost from 400 yen to 900 yen.

Till later, Ja ne!
