Ordering sushi

Some sushi restaurants have sushi menus from which you can order single pieces. Such menus usually have an image of all different pieces, and also shows the price for each piece.

You can then select the pieces that you want and fill out a form. Each image in the menu has a number, and the form has the same numbers. The form is all in Japanese, but the left column in there form that you can see here says "wasabi ok", and the right column means "no wasabi".
The chef will add wasabi to the pieces if you enter your amounts in the left column. You normally don't get wasabi on the side.

Bento on the train

Just had a healthy lunch on the train. Bought a bento in a super market before we boarded the train, and it was yummy!

A bento is like a box with several small Japanese dishes. You can read more about it here:

Funny that some things are expensive, while a bento plus some salad, carrots and two bottles of soda only cost 650 JPY, less than 7 EUR.

Food isn't always expensive

Just had dinner at a small restaurant owned by a couple. Had fried noodles with beef and vegetables, and it only cost about 700 JPY (57 SEK, 6.50 EUR).

 Bought an ice cream at 7&i on my way home. I think 7&i is 7-eleven here in Japan. The logo is the same.
