Food 2

This weekend I was not on the way. Therefore just a small update to the food.
The cost of living in Japan is very high compared to Germany. If I try here  to buy half-way cheap European food I have to pay around 15€. For the same I would pay in Germany 6-10 €. And the other way, when I go shopping in Germany, I have to buy it three times in Japan. And who now thinks, do not buy European, but Japanese food, is mistaken. The Japanese food is also not cheaper. Besides, I do not know what that is exactly because I can’t read Japanese, and much is meant for cooking, although I can not cook Japanese dishes or not enough yet.
And I don’t have much time this luxury.
The European food is also not as we are accustomed. I am glad that I finally found a bread which has half the consistency and the taste of whole-grain toast. The other is some forerun to toastbrot, still more fluffy and less content, despite increased chewing time;) Selection of sausage and cheese is here also not great. But all the other rather sweet breads like melon bread or red bean bread are good.

But it’s the land of the instant meal here. In the supermarkets, there is a huge selection of these, at even seeming better prices. Don’t know the exact content is whether it is enough to be satisfied. In addition, there are already pre-cooked, packaged food to buy. This is price-reduced in the evening before the shop closing,  because it has a shorter decay. (And it is more or less also everything sold out at the end)

Here is the lunch in the university. Tastes great. The main course was priced around 6 €, which was already the larger portion, but only about 70 cents more expensive than the smaller one. Unfortunately, I forgot the name, but it was a sharp ramen. The price is around a very cheap restaurant.

Here a row with instant meals.

And here the said pre-cooked meals.
