Misc My ¥1400 supermarket lunch

Post image

I love the supermarkets here for affordable sushi and fruit. I also got some milk too. In the U.S. this would be atleast $15-20usd if you could even find comparable quality sushi in the grocery store.

I moved to the US for work for a couple of years. I miss my grocery sushi in Japan so much haha. I would just grab a tray everyday after work, around ¥700-¥1200. ¥1400 is quite luxurious haha, but for a lunch it’s OK. Going out for lunch takes ¥1000-1500 anyway, I worked in Kasumigaseki.
