Serious Cheap Eats Tokyo

Lies Lies Lies!!!

Eating well in Tokyo can be dirt cheap and absolutely delicious. There are many high priced, and very nobby restaurants to be had, but you should have no problem eating out for less than twenty dollars. My favourite sansai (mountain vegetable) soba at a local sobaya (soba restaurant) is a mere six! Getting out of Ginza and not relying on English menus will really help ease the strain on your wallet, both Shinjuku and Shibuya have inumerable little restaurants that are cheaper than you think. If you can't read the menu, just ask you serving person for advice. The simple osusume can really open up your culinary horizons!

@kristyandjamey...wow...thanks for posting a comment on my post from over a year ago :) Gorgonzola is one of my favorite cheeses.

I like Gorgonzola cheese and diced granny smith apples. I got this idea when a friend took me to a restaurant in San Francisco called Solstice. They do it there and let me tell you...Oh My Gosh! It's the best ever!!!

To Annie's - probably the Mexican version is best for this, but others'll do, too - I'll add a can of black beans, some frozen corn, and salsa.

Ooh, Sriracha! Liquid Smoke! I might need to make some mac&cheese just to try those out.
I usually just gussy up the usual sharp cheddar with dry mustard, cayenne, and chopped garlic, and whatever other cheese (pecorino, gorgonzola, fontina) I have around.
I don't like to taint my mac with alien chunks of meat or vegetable. Keep 'em on the side, please.

A1 Steak Sauce. OR BBQ Sauce if A1 isn't avaliable. It's the only way I would eat it as a child.

I second the "Heinz-only" ketchup addition, but with my mac-n-cheese I really prefer Vienna sausage and Sriracha. Mmmmmm. You know you wanna try some.

I add _____ to macaroni & cheese

A splash of liquid smoke (my mom once made macaroni & cheese with some smoked cheddar left over from a party tray, and it was so good, from then on she always added some liquid smoke to the mix) and a squeeze of mustard.

Bacon, of course! and also lots and lots of buttery crunchy breadcrumbs on top.
