  1. When I hear English teachers over here complain about food being ‘expensive’ in Japan, I always laugh. Their problem is…not enough soy products! If you try to recreate the fridge that you remember from your home country, then expect to pay for that luxury. But if you just buy what the locals buy at the supermarket, then food is really reasonable here. (Especially if you live in a rural area like me. I get have of my veggies free or cheap from the local farmers.) Great content, as usual Greg! 🍻

  3.  @_w_w_  yeah, fruit is really the only thing that’s an issue. We can get whatever’s in season locally cheap (or free) but everything else is way too expensive.

  5.  @snakabuz  good point. When I think back to my first year in Japan, my best attempt at preparing authentic Japanese food was instant ramen with a block of tofu on the side.

  6.  @missplainjane3905  yes! Cheap and healthy… but many foreign residents don’t buy them enough. (They should!)
