Somebody may become excited at the sight of stores without eating, drinking, sleeping or even going to the restroom. Yes, only we crazy shoppers can experience this kind of enthusiasm.The most convenient way to solve food problems is to go to chain fast-food restaurant or Japanese-noodle shop, like Yoshinoya or Matsuya.They spread over commercial zones, for instances, Matsuya, Shibuya and Ginza. You eat as soon as you are seated and go away when finished. In addition, tourists are demanded to eat as they stand in some restaurants.(Japanese call it “Tachigui”)! What a time-saving way!

In the fast-food restaurants like Yoshinoya and Mstsuya, people buy food through vendering machines. First, they read the menu in front of the gate, and then they choose the dish and put money into the vendering machines. Then you can wait for your serve only after giving your card to the stuff.A small fat-marbled beef combo, including rice, salad, miso soup, raw eggs and drinking water, only cost you 470 yen, and it is excellent value for money!

Eating ramen is also a good way to save time and money, because after eating a bowl of noodles in an ordinary store, you can absolutely regain your energy and go on hanging around.Otherwise, there are some tips for you. before going back to your hotel in the evening, you’d better go to a supermarket nearly.The reason for doing this is that the underground part of large department stores there are always supermarket, in which sushi, sashimi and fast food are on sale before 1 hour of its close, making you enjoy yourselves fully!
