Nothing Beats Cheap Easy Eats

boneless filet of salmon, sold to be eaten raw for about 250yen ($2.50). its great as sashimi, or raw fish, but its even better grilled with a little garlic-yuzu flavored mayo (thats garlic~lime mayo, trust me its good!). and it only takes about 4 minutes to grill through. to accompany it is some spinach salad with sesame dressing. and some lotus root. in total this meal cost about $6. super yummy. and super healthy.
i dont even consider this a japanese meal, just a meal in japan and something that definately couldnt be accomplished as cheap or easily in the states.
