ahh your welcomee 
anyway, i think if one was not too careful of their spendings, its a bit dangerous
in japan, 100 yen is about RM4.00 +/- ... that one also pkai duit syiling only.. 500 yen coin is already RM20.. two 500 yen coin already RM40.
because their nature is coin, people also tend to treat it as coin value myself included 
in the end, this got me to thinking.. if one were to work in japan, and bring all the money back to Malaysia... millionaire?
just think of it, japanese people can easily buy things worth 600-800 yen like per ramen bowl, then if they come here as tourists, yen value also very strong..
because what has been a stereotype thinking of malaysian people was, to work in UK or US where the currency is stronger, than come back become millionaire just because multiply by exchange rate. I guess Japan should also be one of those choices?
all the way to eat McDonald's???...ahhahaah.... anyway, i think if one was not too careful of their spendings, its a bit dangerous

if you are on thrift mode...it's always great to find
a) late night suppers; sandwiches, onigiri, or bentos that you can reheat in your dorm for morning munchies. Mostly discounted over late evenings...so, best time to hunt.
b) also the not so healthy choice would be buying your noodle and cooking there.
c) on weekdays, there are some areas that you can see blue collar shirt worker going for lunch. Those areas are the cheapest of the cheapest..
I usually eat at $400-500 yen for an enormous amount of just buckwheat noodle, and a cup of occha.
Been there, done that...eventhough I have fixed allowance of Y$8000 per day just for food and misc.
