On of my favorite treat meals is donburi. Typically some kind of cooked meat or fish with vegetables on top of a bowl of rice.
Easy enough to cook up at home, bit there are a ton of cheap and good donburi shops all over Japan. It's the Japanese version of fast food.
The one I am about to devour is stewed fatty pork bowl.

    I usually get gyudon. Maybe I'll try something else next time.
