Eat good food at low prices in Japan

If you are staying around JR Kyoto, go to Kyoto Ramen Koji 京都拉麺小路(a “ramen street” of seven different ramen shops), 10th floor, Isetan. Prices are low. For less than Y1000, you get a big bowl of ramen. No need to speak Japanese, just choose the ramen of your choice, put in your money into the vending machine at the entrance and you will be served !

You could also choose to eat at the restaurants above the malls like Isetan, Daimaru or Takashimaya. They are slightly more expensive with prices starting from around Y2000.

Jetso Tip: Go for set lunch as it is usually better value than dinner. I had this set lunch with oysters and a big prawn for around Y2000.

If you feel like indulging, do try out the wagyu beef. We visited this BBQ beef restaurant in Takashimaya. The wagyu beef simply melts in your mouth. Set dinner cost us about Y10,000 for two.I think this is good value considering the quality of the food as compared to Singapore.
