It is the fact that things are expensive in Tokyo area.
Oh right, I stop complaining about it.
My company is located in Tokyo, so I don’t usually eat out in the evening because it is expensive. However I sometimes eat out for lunch. You can eat much cheaper at lunch time than dinner. Some people say they can’t be satisfied without drinking while eating. But it is not common to drink at lunch time in Japan. So, you must eat out at dinner, if you want to drink.
I’m lucky because I don’t drink alcohol!
I went out for lunch at an Italian restaurant today. It was my colleague’s favorite restaurant. Six people joined this lunch. There were four menus at lunch and we ordered every menu. We shared every meal. I think that is a good idea. You can eat four kinds of plate, but all you have to pay for just one plate. I ate two kinds of pizza and two kinds of pasta. They were really delicious as usual and I was full when I finished eating! Or perhaps I ate too much!?
