Konbini sandwich

A konbini is a corner store. I had MANY of these. They are always fresh and delicious. And cheap! They often come with three pieces (here it's chicken, ham and egg).

16

Onigiri, Fanta and chips (I Love Veggi on top of the microwave)

17

This is the first thing I ate in japan, bought from a Konbini store (corner stores like 7-11) Onigiri are pressed rice triangles with various filling, wrapped in nori. The filling is identified according to a specific copor. These make a cheap, delicious and filling lunch. You can find a chart with the color code online and print it out, it will help you understand what filling you're picking.

Supermarket sushi and strawberries

19

All big department stores have food courts/grocery downstairs. You can get your dinner there and go back to your hotel if you are not up for a night out or if you want to cut costs. I overpaid for these strawberries, but they were well worth it. The sushi was amazing and fresh, and unexpensive for the quality I got.
