One will never grow hungry when they are in Japan especially in Tokyo! You can eat for free!! No no no, it has nothing to do with pyramid scheme like selling those vitamin or suplements capsules. We are talking about real food here :P
Everytime around 5pm or close to dinner time, I will walk to a big supermarket in Japan like Isetan, Mitsukoshi and etc. Usually under this big supermarket at lower ground, is a food heaven where many stalls allowed food tasting from sushi to candies. All you need to do is walk near the store and check out the item you like to try (with must EAT them in "mind") and smile to (usually an elderly) attendant. They will hand you the sample of their food, sometimes, probably out of genoristy, the portion is a meal by itself. Then move to 2 stores away, to maintain your pride a bit (not seen by nearby stalls), try another kind of food. After all the sampling spree, finish with a mini cup of tea or soft drink. Say Ahhhhhhh! Burp!
Who says food in Japan is expensive! There are free food everywhere, even the local will participate in this eating spree! Who says kiasu is only in Singapore :-P
