We know that there are many delicious types of Japanese food, including not only sushi and sashimi, but also fried food, barbecue, snacks, rice bowls, noodles, etc., but we all know that Japanese restaurants are very expensive. After a normal meal of Japanese food, you will have spent a lot of money even if you are not very full. So if you want to save money but also want to eat all-you-can-eat Japanese food, you need to know those affordable Japanese restaurants and how to eat them. As a money-saving expert, I am here to teach you how to eat well when we eat Japanese food for the first time, and how to keep the expenses within a reasonable range!

1. Choose an affordable Japanese food store

Eating is like buying a bag. A Chanel bag worth 100,000 yuan is used to carry wallet items, and a canvas bag worth 10 yuan Bags can also be used to carry wallets and items, and the same goes for eating. You can be full if you eat two to three hundred meals a day, and you can also be full if you eat a bowl of noodles worth more than ten yuan. If you want to spend a small amount of money to eat delicious Japanese food, the first step is very important. Choose a Japanese food restaurant with a relatively affordable price and avoid high-end sushi restaurants or high-end Japanese restaurants. This can save unnecessary expenses. Spend your money wisely. We can first search for Japanese food restaurants on Dianping, rank them according to "nearby" + "low price first", look at the evaluation of nearby restaurants, per capita consumption and menu conditions, and have a preliminary understanding of the restaurant we want to go to in advance. You can avoid the situation of exceeding the budget when paying because you don’t understand the price. Choose an affordable Japanese restaurant nearby according to your personal situation. I am in Guangzhou and I highly recommend a Japanese restaurant that I personally like to go to - Spicy Sushi. The price It is very friendly to the people. A bowl of pork bone ramen only costs 16 yuan, and a single order of sushi is as low as 1 yuan. It is very cheap. You can often see many students gathering at this restaurant. The price is affordable and it is very affordable~

2. Pay attention to how to eat Japanese food

①Choose lunch set (work meal)

Many Japanese restaurants will provide lunch set, which is usually cheaper than dinner set and includes main dishes. Dishes, side dishes, soups and side dishes, etc. You can buy a good set meal on a group buying app and go to a Japanese restaurant to enjoy the set meal during lunch time. You can taste sumptuous meals at a lower price.

②Order more sushi rolls or sushi sets

Sushi rolls or sushi platters are usually more cost-effective and more affordable than ordering sushi slices individually, and can be purchased in stores on group buying apps The group buying coupons are much cheaper than in stores. For example, the sushi platter in the store below is a group purchase. A single order of sushi costs 6 yuan, and the entire platter has 6 sushi rolls and a California roll. The group purchase price is less than 30 yuan, which is really affordable. This way you can taste different flavors of sushi and feel fuller at the same time.

③Place your order appropriately

Choose some staple dishes such as sushi, rice bowls or pasta, and pair them with some cheap snacks or side dishes, so that you can eat a variety of different dishes Tasty food that also satisfies appetite. Some Japanese restaurants offer side dishes for free. For example, the Mota Canteen I went to provides free crispy snaps, beans, seaweed and other side dishes. As a seaweed lover, after eating these appetizers, I will If the clerk politely asks for more, the clerk will usually agree. So I saved the expense of this side dish!

For another example, if you are not just satisfied with the free side dishes, you can also dig more into the menu to find more cost-effective dishes. For example, the wasabi octopus at Motor Canteen only costs 5 yuan to get moderate wasabi and crispy fresh-cut octopus. For example, sushi rolls are cheaper than gunkan sushi and are more cost-effective. When ordering, pay more attention to dishes with high value for money.

④ Pay attention to beverage selection

Drinks are usually charged separately in Japanese restaurants, such as soda and wine, and the prices are not very affordable. If you want to save money, you can choose not to order drinks or choose to bring your own water or other drinks, which can reduce unnecessary expenses.

There are also some Japanese restaurants that provide tea. Some require a tea seat fee, while others do not. However, they often provide unlimited refills, which is more cost-effective than bringing your own drinks. Boiled water is generally free. Friends who don’t have high requirements for drinks can choose boiled water to save this cost.

Some Japanese food restaurants will also provide free refreshing drinks while waiting in line (such as peach oolong tea at Motor Canteen). When dining, you can also ask the clerk for a few more drinks (pay attention to your attitude and be polite). As long as the request is not too excessive, the clerk will generally not refuse.

3. Buy Japanese food at AEON Supermarket

In addition to eating Japanese food at a Japanese food store, you can also go to the supermarket to buy Japanese food by yourself. For example, AEON is a large supermarket. In addition, there are many freshly prepared foods for sale. In addition to the common roasted chicken, fast food, and bread, the freezer in the Aeon dining area also sells sushi set meals. All are made on the same day. They are very fresh and delicious. The price ranges from 15 to 100 yuan. You can eat as much as you want. You can take as much as you like, and each box is also thoughtfully equipped with soy sauce and mustard.

In addition to sushi, there are also some sashimi, snacks and snacks, such as salmon sashimi, seaweed, octopus meat, daifuku, etc. The prices are very affordable. You can buy a box of seaweed for 6 yuan ~ In order to sell the meals and reduce losses, Around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Aeon will sometimes offer discounts on meals, and sometimes they can even break bones! If you don’t want to go to a Japanese food shop but want to eat fresh Japanese food, Aeon is also a good choice~

4. Self-service Japanese food shop

Self-service Japanese food shops are usually named after Each person is charged a fixed amount for meals. For example, in this sushi restaurant, the daily lunch buffet price is 60 yuan/person, and the dinner and weekend buffet price is 63 yuan/person. After purchasing the buffet ticket, you can freely choose all kinds of sushi, ramen, snacks, fried food and other dishes you want to eat according to your own taste and appetite, and enjoy all kinds of food according to your own needs, ensuring that you are full without feeling hungry. Spending too much.

Now that you have chosen a self-service Japanese food restaurant, I recommend you to eat more snacks that are cost-effective but not filling your stomach, such as fried tempura, grilled eel, and salmon fillets! Also remember not to drink too many carbonated drinks (it’s easy to feel full and unable to eat more Japanese food)

I also recommend you try the mentaiko roasted potatoes. It’s full and tastes really good~< /p>

Note: In order to avoid wasting food, the buffet coupons of some Japanese restaurants will require diners not to waste food, and put forward rules and requirements to make up for the price difference for the excess food quantity. This is best done in Ask the clerk about the buffet dining rules before dining.

At the same time, we can order as much as we can and don’t waste food~
