    I second @KevinC. You'd really have to try hard to find any sushi here that isn't *good* sushi, so the price is what you want to pay... Sushi train places are a go-to fave of ours; the hubs and I can fill our bellies for under $20 usually. There are a few famous sushi chefs here that can charge top dollar- starting at $300 for a meal. If you have Netflix, you should check out "jiro dreams of sushi," that'll make ya drool. :)

    Sushi in Japan is cheap and fresh, "Sushi Train" restaurant it will cost about 1 USD per dish - 2 sushi. "Above average" sushi restaurant it will cost about $1 to $4 per sushi. "Top" sushi restaurant it will cost about $10 to $20 per sushi. No choice, they chief pick the sushi for you.

    Start from around 10,000 yen for a set 'menu' in the really fancy places. Maybe. 500 yen for a tray from the supermarket.

    I've never had or even heard of bad sushi in Japan. You can get sushi for as cheap as 100 yen! :D Find a sushi restaurant with sushi going around and around on a mini conveyor belt. You can pick whatever you want, and the price depends on what colour the plate is. :D

    Most prefectures have free magazines full of adverts. They are a great way to learn about what's in your area. Our local one is "Moteco" and it often has sushi restaurants listed, sometimes they have coupons for discounts too. :-)

    It depends upon sushi restaurant. Normally it costs around 800 yen in supermarket. And more than 2000 yen in some famous restaurant.

    "Real sushi" is not expensive in Japan. Sushi is basically diner food in Japan, like cheeseburgers in the United States. It's not particularly expensive. But the really good sushi is only near the ocean. You have to go where the fish are caught and brought in to get the best sushi. Otherwise, it's no big deal. There's good sushi and bad sushi in Japan. Most of it is cheap, but of course there are expensive places as well.

    I have had bad sushi in Japan!! The fish seemed okay, but the rice was gross! I think 100-400 is a fair estimate at normal places. If the restaurant is empty during a meal time, don't bother!

    Sushi on the train is basically always 108¥ (including tax), and in my opinion very delicious! Check out the restaurant chains called uobei, Sushiro or Hamasushi.

    You can go to sushi train type restaurants and they are usually ¥100-¥300 a plate. Or go to a fancier restaurant and prepare to spend ¥100,00. There are so many sushi places, you really can spend any amount you budget for.

Favorite Noodles

Chilled noodles because it's summer, hot noodles are also accepted. Is it somen or chukasoba or zarusoba? Reimyun or pasta salad? Chanpon or udon or ramen? Pad Thai or Pho?! This year I made somen for the first time! I'm a soba fan. I used to love ramen and tsukemen but for some reason I'm not as into the rich and oily noodles anymore.

What are the pros and cons of Japanese Citizenship for you?

Most of the people I know here are foreign residents, have foreign family members, or have foreign coworkers, friends or employees. A handful of those have become Japanese citizens. We've been chatting about things like ethnic identity and Japanese citizenship. I don't plan to become a citizen, but it made me wonder, what are the pros and cons for changing your citizenship? Is it something you've given any thought to? (What might make you consider it?)

Which movie will you see this summer?

I am not a movie-goer at all, but every year I bring the kids to see a film (and they often go with their friends too) during the summer holidays. There seems to be a good choice this year, including Toy Story 5, the Chiikawa movie, the real live action adaption of Moana and the usual annual Crayon Shinchan movie among others. Which movie are you planning to see this summer? Or have you already been to see one (or more)? If so, which one?

Your 2026 food omiyage / souvenir picks?

I know this question has probably been asked several times in the past, but it is also the kind of question to which the answer changes frequently! So, I am curious - what are your top food souvenir picks for 2026? I am going home again soon, and I want to get food omiyage for several people, including the school where my son is about to finish a one-year exchange. I would love to hear your thoughts on the BEST Japanese food omiyage around this year! And / or the food omiyage you buy each and every time you are going home because it's always a big hit? I just had the photo in this post to hand, and it is not a recommendation per se, it's not bad and fits well into a suitcase, but it's not the best strawberry daifuku I ever had.

Movie locations near you worth visiting?

The live action version of テルマエ・ロマエ Thermae Romae (2012) was shot at Nokogiriyama, Kyonan Town, Chiba Prefecture. It's one of my favourite getaways for hiking, the temple complex, and catching sea breezes. The movie is hilarious and heartwarming. Which Japanese live-action movies do you recommend, and are the filming locations worth a visit? Tell us the original title, English title, the year, and the location.

What are our consumer rights in Japan?

Do you know your consumer rights in Japan? And if so, would you be willing to share anything about them? For example, what is the policy on returns? I am very familiar with my consumer rights in my home country, and they are very widely publicized back home, but information doesn't seem to be as transparent or readily available here. Or is that just me?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.

Entrance ceremony clothes

Soon my kid will have his entrance ceremony at school, and I'm looking for those typical Japanese style ceremony clothes for myself. I'm 1.80m, not so skinny woman, which has huge problems to even find normal clothes in Japan. Does anybody have the same problem and might have any advice, where to get those ceremony clothes in a taller size?
