I often meet young foreign tourists in Tokyo (e.g. students) who tell me that meals here are often expensive. Now, even though younger tourists usually travel on a budget, this simply isn't true. Nevertheless, this has become a commonly held view, since most foreigners will just go to any restaurants on the high-street and end up paying around 1000 yen - 1500 yen for one meal in the day time. Generally, it is more pricey at Japanese style bars (Izakaya) at night.

There are a lot of good, cheap restaurants in Japan for less than 599 yen including tax, but many foreigners won't know where to look. That's why I'm going to make a blog post detailing some good restaurants that can get you a meal for around 500 yen.
The restaurants are mainly selected in downtown Tokyo. Some of the large restaurant chains have their branches all over Japan.
