For those who would rather spend money on goodies than eat, know that you can find places that do value meals like these. For example, the top left corner mound of rice and spaghetti costs only 950 yen. Do any of these dishes look appetizing to you? Image via Byonavi.
woooo. Mountain of curry and rice *-*!. Is this even real?
i was wondering the same thing, i'm sure it's real, but is it like...you have to eat ALL of it or else you have to pay....10k yen or something? cause the pudding looks AWESOME, I WANT IT!!!!
Me too, funny feeling i may well be very ill after it though. Oh well would be fun seeing if i was right.
sorry i saw this on tv the other day at the same time a Gyaru Sone program was on and was just disgusted. These eating shows are ridiculous... where people force in excessive amount of food into their stomachs for entertainment purposes. In case people have forgotten "FAMINE" is still real problem on the planet. and here these people are over dulging to extremes. Sorry to inject some realism into this.
I must be hungry, but all of that looks exceedingly (or deceptively) delicious. Thanks for sharing Danny. I cherish these type of posts.
is that restaurant for sumo wrestlers or something? The food portions are HUGE
Cheap yes... Appetizing? Hell no!!! I'd rather spend my money eating good food.
how does that not look good to you?!??!?? that looks like high quality food if you ask me.
i want the 25,000 yen pudding...lol
I've tried one of those, they taste like burnt sugar mixed with custard & caramel.
I ate thhose before and it good.....I want it now!!!
The pudding is a ripp off....you can make a weekful of those pudding for less than $35 dolloor anyway...
i'm sure it is. i have this urge of burying my head in that pudding though.
Lol...I put my head down and eat like a pig....
quigy my friend, sounds like you have a pudding fetish!
Ack! qingy, not quigy dam it!
mmm... pudding...
I did grin at this huuuuuuuge pudding. Looks like baby pudding is piggybacked by giant papa pudding. So cute. *Softly whistles the Dango Daikazoku theme*
Wow, I wanna try a bit of everything xD.
Wow, that's a lot of food. Sadly for me, I don't like spending more than 5 USD. But for situations like this, I'm willing to spend a little more.
none of them apatize me danny. . sorry =~=;;
Wow, giant size meals o_O the egg on number 2 from upper left looks funny XD
Those dishes look soo messy, Tesco's do me just fine; blt, sprite & a muffin..
Lol look at those mounds od food...eeach of those meals can last foe few day and its cheap too...I'm lazy at cooking so I would order those and take home to eat...I want tonkatsu and those egg pudding.....
The one below the rice-spaghetti(which is just wrong btw....) looks ok. Rice with something fried with breadcrumbs lol. Hopefully chicken...for 950yen. Nice price. Giant pudding-chan looks good too. :grin:
Not really...I kind of like eating spegetti with rice....it taste allright...
Never tried rice-spaghetti combo.. does not appeal much to me. For me it is one or the other in soup or with a ton of sauce (Thousand Island, BBQ, Mayo, Ketchup, Tomato sauce, either of your choice, but only one at a time) ^^ And please, no salt or pepper added.
Rice makes every meal better! ^_^
Exactly!
I just had breakfast and I'm hungry again after looking at this. Still, they look more like shared meals than for singles to me; I mean, second from the left on the first row, besides the holy mound of rice. 5 eggs, that's cholesterol overkill.
I'm not a person that would skim on food, but when I was in Japan for the first time last year, I found that the most of the food there was either too sweet or just doesn't look appitiezing enough to be eaten. Even for the junk food in the supermarket! I did enjoyed myself fully at a REAL sushi bar in Shinjuku(as oppose to the B.S.Sushi bar on belt places you would find all over Singapore). And I remember a little sabo place underground in SHinjuku as well that lets you grain real fresh wasabi into your sabo...can't remember how huch they cost, but definitely not "Value Meals".
Uh... anyone else notice, on the right side, second from the bottom, how wrong that looks? I wonder if it has any dolphin in it?
Oh gawd, just when I was having dinner! X|
Ugg is that tempura??? What is that freen thing anyway???
Oh man, all that stuff looks amazing... I would drool if I just didn't eat dinner right now. I actually had spaghetti and rice before, and I don't particularly like the taste of sauce and white rice together. It just doesn't seem right, not to mention that it seems kind of redundant that you have two carbohydrate-rich grains at the same time. Then again, I do like rice noodles and white rice together. Hmmm...
And I thought that my daily meals were odd enough... Take tonight's meal for example (a classic of mine): Rice, salad leaves (preferably lettuce), tuna, carrots and Thousand Island sauce. Filtered water for drink (sodas never, sometimes apple juice w/ vitamin C added) and milk and cereals for dessert. If you find it yucky, no problem. ^^;
No sir...I will break into your house and sit by your table to eat your food...ummm anyway your food is normal...Tuna?! those cost so much now....like $10 dollar per pound...
Why not knock at the door like a true gentleman and share my daily poor's dinners? Tuna in can... I'm not that rich y'know. *laughs*
Oh my apology I was simply hungry...*knock on your door*...
"Welcome! Would you like some of my weird dinner? No refills." *laughs*
there's this jap restuarant near where i went to high school that lets you eat for free if you can eat this super extra large bowl of ramen or else you gotta pay for it. tried one and failed
Gotta be in starving condition to win this one. Very nice marketing scheme, I'd say. I wonder how this meal costs in the first place.
*Talks to self* Oops. "much" fell on the floor... *Replaces it back in the sentence before anyone notices it*
759 yen ramen. i think that can fill my whole family.
OMFG look at that caramel pudding! *dives in* But seriously tho, I think the beauty of japanese food is that the portions are small :P
gotta love value meals in japan. at least you get what you pay for. value meals in the US horrifying, let alone vomit-inducing.
wow, that's cheap. But some of those are very $$$ (Oo.
Lol look at the curry with the pyramid of rice!!!
... they are so huge, i'm kinda full just watching it.
Wow pudding for 25k yen? xD Yeah they do look appetizing but just from looking at it makes me full... xD Too much... xD
Oh my... *drools* While I do have many different reasons for wanting to visit Japan, the food is certainly rather high on the list. In real life for me, I eat two meals a day (yes, I know that's bad, but I can't make the effort to change it), but if I traveled to Japan, I honestly think I might eat four times a day during the trip. Those portions look GREAT to me. I would like to try almost all the items that show there, with the exceptions of those that include Cabbage (three that I see).
Oh yeah, definately gonna get that. Damn, it's late night over here and im getting hungry looking that these. that cutlet rice set looks delicious. Btw, why is there a 250k Flan dish? O_O0
its impossible for a human to eat all that!! you must hate a stomach like an elephant!
That jumbo curry looks good.
the curry made me think of galsone :)
They probably don't look that much appetizing because... well, first, the food is pretty plain. But mainly, because there's too much food. And you can't help imagining how bad you would feel after eating that much food. But I would eat stuff like that. Gather some friends, and eat "collectively". Apart from the presentation and all, it's not much different from a cheap restaurant, and considering these plates can feed at least 2 people (probably more), it's pretty cheap indeed.
Ramen!
Btw, as I'm looking at this pudding again, I'm thinking "purupuru pururin" now. Would love to have a gif image of the dancing pudding featured in the first episode of NHK ni Youkoso! ^^;
Danny do you have the actual address for the food above. I decided to risk my life to try it when I get to Japan end of this year.
LOL! The pudding is HUGE! And you can get it for a measly price of 25000 Yen!
ok...now i'm getting hungry lol
i think the sushi is a great deal
That's way to expensive for those little morsels. If you want value, you can't beat ramen or cheap meat at the 100 yen store.
Awesome. That pudding looks delicous too. And it seems kinda cheap for that amount of food, that's just super. I wonder if it tastes good or if there is a catch? ^^;
:droool: ^-^ seeing any food makes my mouth water! i'm hungry now!!
I personally think the servings are a bit TOO big and since even if I take it home I never eat it I would probably avoid a place like that.
The ramen. My dream has been to eat ramen to my heart's content and this will fulfill that!
The one under the first one does look good (If it were in a smaller portion, of course). I've always wanted to try tonkatsu, and I'm fairly sure that's tonkatsu.
What, No McDonalds Dollar Value menu there?
Things are becoming supersize no matter where I go....
