Günstig essen in Japan?
Hallo zusammen, diese Frage richtet sich vor allem an Leute, die schon längere Zeit in Japan verbracht haben:
Ich mache ein Working Holiday in Japan und muss mich daher täglich selbst mit Essen versorgen.
Jedoch habe ich folgendes Problem: in meinem derzeitigen Sharehouse ist es so dreckig, dass man nicht wirklich kochen will.
Außerdem bin ich vegetarisch (in den Brühen etc. kann man es hier natürlich nicht wirklich vermeiden) und will mich natürlich einigermaßen ausgewogen ernähren.
Die letzten Wochen habe ich viel mit einzelnen Sachen aus dem Supermarkt wie Mikrowellenreis, Natto, Tofu etc. halbwegs gesunde Mahlzeiten zusammengestellt, die Zutaten selbst waren auch nicht teuer.
Trotzdem lande ich ingesamt bei ca. 500 Yen pro Mahlzeit, womit ich ehrlicherweise auch einfach auswärts billig essen könnte.
Hat jemand Erfahrungen, wie ich meine Ausgaben für Essen noch weiter herunterschrauben kann, ohne einfach weißen Toast essen zu müssen?
Bin langsam echt am verzweifeln, da ich derzeit noch nicht arbeiten kann (Sprachkurs), muss ich wirklich auf mein Geld schauen…
Danke schonmal für sämtliche Tipps und Tricks 🙂

You’re really good enough to make 500 yen per meal. These are 275 euros a month for three meals a day, which is very good even for Germany. Some supermarkets such as ok or Life offer membership cards with which you additionally get discount (you can recognize that there are more than two prices on the price tags, which are without and with tax and then the prices for the 会員). In general, there are many points collection systems. And rice is of course the stuffing food. For example, if you eat an egg and Natto in the morning on a bowl of rice with furikake and some soy sauce and a small yogurt, you will get on average maybe 200 per meal, but for all meals you will not be able to do that.
If you want to save money, I rather recommend looking for another sharehouse that is from World United expensive crap as I have heard.
PS: By the way, the Working-Holiday visa allows work at any time, even if you go to the language school.
Thank you for your answer. The point system actually sounds good.
And the breakfast you described is already available to me:)
I also move from November to Yokohama to another sharehouse with clean kitchen.
Of course, I can cook cheaper there when I prepare rice and vegetables in larger quantities. Until then, I just want to live without Instant Ramen or spend so much money…
And in terms of work: I give hours from time to time to English, only not really regular and much is not. Have work for November, too, but in Tokyo I didn’t just want to hire the company for which I had also applied for for four weeks.
What you could still see is whether there is a university near you with a Mensa or a Bento sale. They are often also accessible and usable for Uni-Fremde. There are lunches for 300 yen. If they are vegetarian…
But, as I said, you have already arrived at the minimum costs in the whole, and Japan is simply not getting cheaper. By the way, this is not because food in Japan is more expensive than in Germany, but that food in Germany/EU is made artificially cheaper by massive subsidies than in Japan. The disadvantage: consumers lose the feeling of what is a normal price for a food.
Then you go to an Izakaya. Otherwise, I just recommend you pick up a local supermarket. There you can also buy quite cheaply.
And what do you think I should eat in an Izakaya? Edamame or Pommes are certainly not the most nutritious…
And with the supermarket, I wrote that I buy cheap stuff here. Since these are all small packages and fruits and vegetables are very expensive, you can still get out at just 500 yen per meal.
And with that I can also buy at Sukiya etc. what…
