There is a little cafe about a minute down the road from where the school is where a lot of students go to eat during the 50 minute lunch break.

I went three days in a row mainly because it's cheap, 550 Yen ($6 CAD) for what you see below.

The lunch set typically contains something fried, which in my case has been two different versions of fried shrimp and then a pork. You also get a bowl of rice, miso soup, some veggies (pickled and fresh) and then a little salad.

Today, I just couldn't do it again so me and a friend I made went to the grocery store and grabbed a Bento was was even cheaper.

There are two lessons here, variety is the spice of life and two, buying lunch in Japan is cheap.
