Wish i was in a Ramen Shop Counter
Let's start with my biggest expense, which was still cheap relatively at 9500 yen. A 26 course Omakase meal. Basically our Tasting menu of sushi. For an Omakase, this is considered cheap.

The meal started off with a Clamp soup. A little salty, very ocean taste.

This is why I can’t go to Japan as I’d fly in JAL economy and have to fly home DHL Cargo.

What did you drink with the tasting menu? I would imagine many of the flavours would be easily over powered.

Green tea. It was either that or Sake or water.

I actually could have eaten more, I got up at like 5-6am most mornings and had just like an origiri with bottled coffee as I needed to be at places and then had to go to the next spot so didn't eat a proper meal. I skipped lunch half the time, one time I accidentally bought a packet of frozen ramen from the machine thinking it was just ticket to go into the ramen store inside it....

So I ended up eating a chocolate filled eclair thing instead.

Great pics, would happily eat all of it except some of the fish roe and maybe some of the sushi. The beef sushi looks great, didn't even know they did that. Also I'd love that melon drink, they do seem to use melon flavour really well, would like to try that drink. Only complaint is sone of the drinks and foods can be quite small, but such good quality.

Looks amazing overall though from convenience food to restaurants.
 
Those sandwiches look minuscule! :D Did they fit in the palm of your hand?

They are like a 2 biter, no crust. The glass bottle is a Vit C drink.

The best Katsu don i've had. Pork and Ebi (giant) in Matsumoto. Very local place, the chairs and tables were so old and a little uncomfortable lol

There was also a squid cracker, which was what the place famous for but I bought the Prawn one by accident lol. Anyhow, I had squid later the same day for lunch so it’s all good.
Both sound tasty. I said in the now eating thread I've not tried sushi as put off by the raw element, funnily enough I'm not so weirded out by the wagyu sushi.

Random Hot dog thing and curry bun, Dumplings, Sukiya, Oyaku don and katsu all look nom.
