[English]
Everyone knows that Japan's income is high
But Japan's consumption is high
It is also known to everyone
For example
He sells me a green onion for more than 100 yen (20~40TWD)
A 5kg bag of rice costs more than 4,000 yen (830TWD)
The cost of living here in Japan is very high
But no matter how high the income is in a society
It can't be all rich people
There must be poor people
And the Japanese don't
eat sushi and wagyu every day
So how do people with low income
live in this high-consumption country
?
Today I will take you to see
What is the happiest thing in Japan?
It's not going out to see the scenery
For me
the happiest time
is to go to the supermarket to pick up leaks at night
Generally supermarkets close at 10 o'clock
About half an hour before closing time
there will be many discounts and promotions
But there are so many supermarkets
The discount time of each store is not the same
So you have to know what time each supermarket
They open approximately
Someone will post a discount
and grab the discounted goods
You are not fighting alone
Because if you want to miss something, others will also want to pick it up
So during this period
you have to grab it with the Japanese aunties
This is a sports project that tests the intelligence gathering ability
physical fitness, hand speed
and eyesight
But the day is early
The bento discounts haven't started yet
Let's take a look at other discounted products first
The easiest to discount is
Japan usually sells it on the same day
If it can't be sold, it has to be thrown away
The discount is the strongest before closing
For example, this box of half-price tuna
398 becomes 199 (41TWD)
I want it
Let's take a look at other products
The clams are on sale here
Pick it up and take a look
OK
290 becomes 144 (29TWD)
The discount is quite strong
You can make soup at home
I want it
Here is the snapper
This sea bream head
322 becomes 160 (66TWD)
It's okay too
I want it
The one next to the sea bream head
Wow
This is big enough
This is the Indian sea bream steak
But it is salvaged from the Indian Ocean
Why is it marked as produced in Shizuoka
I don't understand
But the price is okay
The original price was 860
Now it is 430
This is a good deal
It costs 80 yuan in Taiwan dollars
Take it home
Let's take a look at the meat
Although the meat is not bad
But the discounts on meat are generally not big
Good
I barely saw one on sale
This is 20% off for 929
743(154TWD)
It’s not strong enough
Forget it
Let’s take a look at the side dish area
The Chinese cold noodles here
300 yuan turned into 160 yuan (33TWD)
OK
This is a cold vegetarian noodle
More than 200 yuan turned into 120 (24TWD)
This is not bad
You can take it back and get it as lunch
Some things should come earlier
100 yen roasted bird (20TWD)
30% off
It’s really not a minute too late
What about other things when shopping
The bento discount has also started
Hurry and grab the bento
If you are quick or slow
hurry up
Grilled fish bento
499 becomes 424 (88TWD)
I want it
This nutritious curry
499 becomes 360 (74TWD)
I want it too
331 yuan (68TWD)
I want it
Hamburger bento
390 yuan (80TWD)
I want it too
You said the cost of living in Japan is so high
How do I survive when I am short of money?
That's what it looks like
Buy a bunch and freeze them
Take it out and bite it when you want to eat
This is a simple meal
But the poor people in Japan
may not eat these every day
They still have to eat out
So in Japan
what kind of takeout restaurant
will be classified as a poor man's meal?
Although this classification is a bit rude.
But there has been some discussion on the Japanese Internet
...
After everyone's summary,
there are three types of restaurants that meet the conditions
to eat
They are all considered "poor set meals"
Then I will take you all to see it in turn
First of all, the first
is the very representative
beef rice
Although Wagyu beef
has always been a food that Japan is proud of
But the history of meat eating in Japan is actually very short
Because of belief in Buddhism
Before knowing it was new
Japanese people did not eat meat
They followed Western learning in the 19th century
I just started eating beef
Even the word "gyudon"
was invented by Yoshinoya in 1899
But I don't like Yoshinoya
Let's eat Matsuya
Let's order a meal
There are quite a lot of varieties here
There is also cheese beef rice
But I don't know why
In the stereotype of Japanese netizens
Most of the people who eat cheese beef rice
are otakus with glasses
I really don’t know why
Then let’s order the most basic
beef rice
Look, a bowl of rice costs 460 yuan (95TWD)
This is really the cheapest one in an outside restaurant
...
And this is the price after a wave of price increases in Japan
Of course
the price of beef rice has increased
The reason is definitely not because of the beef
but because the rice
is served
Not only a bowl of rice
but also a bowl of miso soup
This price-effectiveness ratio is really unparalleled in Japan
Come and add some seasonings according to your own preferences
Sprinkle with chili powder
Add barbecue sauce
And the red ginger that must be added when eating beef rice
A full bowl
Start
Hmm
Simple fat beef with sauce
I can’t say how delicious it is
But it really goes well with rice
Speaking of the three major beef rice in Japan
I still think Matsuya’s is the best
Yoshinoya's bar
Not so good
And Sukiya, another one of the Big Three
They recently ate some small animals that shouldn't be there
...
I still don't want to eat them for the time being
So the only choice is Matsuya
I relied on it when I was a student
Now I work outside
Sometimes I want to take care of myself
But I don’t know where to eat
I will come here for a meal too
Cheap and delicious
I’m done eating
Let’s go to the next Japanese “poor restaurant”
OK Now we’re going to the next
What kind of place is the next one?
That’s a family restaurant
What is a family restaurant
You’ll know if you follow me
The restaurant we are going to now is this one upstairs
Gasto on the 7th floor
What kind of restaurant is a family restaurant?
Usually it is a very simple meal
For example, pasta, curry, fries or something
For example, Saria
is the most famous Japanese-style Italian family restaurant
Because family restaurants are cheap
they are also classified into the category of "poor restaurants"
Enter the store
Let's find a seat by ourselves
When there are few people
Of course, choose a seat by the window
Let's take a look at the menu
The menu is quite rich
There is food and drink
All staple food, snacks and desserts are available
And usually, limited menus are launched according to the season
...
For example, their current summer special is cold noodles
It looks quite refreshing
I think this is okay
Choose three dishes
Add a drink
Add a soup
The total is only 991 yuan (205TWD)
Okay
Then I will choose this today
Japan’s labor costs are very high.
So there are fewer clerks in cheap stores.
Use pads to order.
You can also use robots to serve food.
This reduces costs to the extreme.
Yes.
Doesn’t this place feel very suitable for studying?
...
...
...
Can't do homework here
So
In the family restaurant
Order a glass of water and sit there all afternoon
It can indeed increase the courage value
Let's go get a drink
There is a good family restaurant
Its drinks can be refilled
There are tea bags
Juice.
There are also carbonated sodas
In this place
you can also drink Sprite which is rare in Japan
Japan's Sprite
has a strong sugar taste
You need to add some lemon flavor
to restore the familiar taste
But I think this is the most suitable for family restaurants
Melon Soda
Green and full of life
Also full of vitality
Drink it
I also feel that I will pay some price
But it is not important
The most important thing is to eat the first thing in the set meal
...
Salad
It is still rare to eat vegetables in Japan
Because vegetables are really more expensive than meat
This is a precious opportunity to supplement vegetable fiber
Be sure to cherish
The leftover dishes of the thousand-yen set meal
A bowl of French fries
And a chicken steak
Don't say anything else
Let's eat directly
The meat is still quite soft and tender
Let's start everything
So how does it taste?
The meat is very plump
There is a lot of oil locked inside
You can tell by looking at its appearance
It's definitely not a healthy taste
But this taste is already very good
It's the taste I like very much
Very Juicy
The portion is not big
But it's 1000 yen (207TWD)
You can choose three dishes
Although it's a pretty good lunch
The price-effectiveness ratio is above average
Although it is rated as "poor man's meal" by Japanese netizens
But I really like family restaurants
I’m done with the meat
The most precious broccoli
I also want to eat it all
OK
So let’s finally review it. How about the fries?
These fries...are really fries...
Good to settle the bill
Let’s go to the next
and the last "poor man's restaurant"
What is it?
The last kind of Japanese "poor man's meal"
is conveyor belt sushi
Because sushi is actually considered a high-end cuisine in Japan
The chef makes it for you in front of you
It may cost 10,000 to 20,000 yen (2000~4000TWD) after eating
But as for conveyor belt sushi
it is very cheap
Everyone can afford it
I found out that I like a few restaurants
A beef bowl
A family restaurant
A conveyor belt sushi
All of them
Do Japanese netizens look down on me, right?
You can tell when you come in and see the number of people queuing up
Conveyor belt sushi is still very popular
If you can get a number here now
You have to wait in front...
34 tables...
Oh my god...
But it's okay
We made a reservation in advance
The cheap store has the same features
There are very few waiters
Calling the number is all done by machine
Scan a code when your number is called
Then he will tell you which table
Just go by yourself
There is basically no waiter to communicate with you during the whole process
Because labor is so expensive
Cheap restaurants can't afford to hire so many people
Ordering is also done on the pad
Just choose whichever one you like
The price ranges from more than 100 to more than 200 (20~40TWD)
If one portion is too much for you to eat
You can choose to order a half portion here
A half portion is the same price
Let’s order a full portion
And because last year was the year before
You should have seen the news and know
A naughty kid destroyed the entire industry
So now the conveyor belt sushi in Japan no longer rotates
Now all the conveyor belt sushi rotates like this
Can it be delayed?
Can it still be delayed?
Oh Hua
What did I order?
Additional toppings of fresh cream?
Ah?
What is this?
Ah?
What is this?
This store has a rich selection of things
Even soy sauce has four flavors for you
And the sushi has even more flavors
Let’s see how many varieties there are
Sea urchin roe
Arctic clams
Wagyu
Shark fin steamed egg
Sea bream
Tempura
Fresh cream
Pickled tuna
Sweet shrimp
Duck meat
Grilled beef diaphragm
Shrimp in spicy oil
Shredded ham with chili and green onions
Ah yes
There is another difference between conveyor belt sushi and high-end sushi restaurants
If you are in a high-end sushi restaurant
Let the chef reheat it for you
Make spicy oil again
And add all these messy sauces
The chef may pull out the counter to beat you
So this is
the freedom that is not available in high-end sushi restaurants
Hamburger meat with mayonnaise
Oops
I lost it
rice
The squid that day was so squid
I was almost done eating
25 plates
plus two steamed eggs
a mango
and fresh cream
So how much is the total?
Today’s meal
costs 5236 (1087TWD)
Is this considered poor man's rice?
Why do I feel that I can't even afford poor man's rice?
Okay
That's it for today
What do you think of Japan's poor man's rice?
Or do you like eating these like me?
In fact, these are what netizens summed up
It does not mean that people who eat these are like it
Just watch it for fun
If you have anything else you want me to visit the store
you can tell me
If you want me to take pictures of some scenery
you can also provide me with the places you want to see
That’s great
I am Leng Shui
See you next time
Bye
