People seem to think Japan = Miso, Green Tea and Sushi, but let me present some popular alternatives - Tonkatsu - deep-fried pork cutlet - ice-cream bread (a loaf of white bread with the centre filled with ice-cream) - endless convenience store aisles of two-minute noodle bowl - prized marbled beef (which always looks to be 50% fat!), etc. Though it is true I eat a lot of cabbage here.

For example, I tend to eat a lot of Bi-Bim-Don at Matsuya, with a side of salad. Costs less than 500 yen (about $5 US), really healthy, and tastes great. You also left out Okonomiyaki, which is not only delicious, but surprisingly healthy. And onigiri... Damnit, now I miss Japanese food again. :)
