Thanks Sharry! You will LOVE Japan and the food. I did exactly that- picked up something small and a can of coffee at a 7-11.

Hi, Amanda! Great post. I’m reading up on cheap eats in Japan for a trip this November =) I love Japanese food, ranging from shashimi to ramen to okonomiyaki! And I’m really looking forward to my trip. Just to ask, where’d you usually have your breakfast during your trip? I’ve read that buying food from convenience stores for breakfast is a good idea. Any thoughts on this? Thanks =)

Jangara is often listed as No.1 Ramen in gourmet programs of TV in Tokyo.
Jangara serves Tonkotsu Ramen originated from Kyuhshuh, south-western island of Japanese archipelago.
There are 2 major schools of Tonkotsu soup, Hakata style and Kumamoto style.
Bonshan Ramen is former one and Ko-bonshan Ramen is latter one which I love.
You should order either of basic Ramen and choose favorable topping, not Zenbu of all toppings at JPY1,000.

Wow! Thank you for such a detailed comment! I will admit that I didn’t know that much about Japanese food before I went to Japan. Only the basics. But I’ve fallen in love with the cuisine and will have to take some of your advice when looking to eat Japanese food in the future. I had no idea oyakodon used the broth from soba. Very interesting. I hope I’m back in Japan soon so I can eat again
