How much does it cost to eat out and drink in Japan?
Japan is cheap to eat out! With sushi at about £5 for 8 pieces, whole Japanese dinners for less than £5, big bowls of ramen or soba noodles in soup for about £3.50, you can afford to explore Japanese food …and definitely never go hungry! Beer in a bar or Japanese style izakaya (tapas style restaurant bar with an informal relaxed atmosphere) is at about £2.50 a pint, and there are lots of varieties on offer from European style lagers to dark stouts and locally produced ales. Sake, Japanese rice wine, is a local delicacy and often served warm in winter, and costs about £4.50 for 4 shots. Obviously the exchange rate may change, so theses prices are approximate.
