I went there to investigate.A bar where Japanese office workers gather, offering plenty of surprising snacks for under 200 yen in Tamachi of Tokyo.

I was a bit skeptical, so I went to check if that super-cheap restaurant still offers meals at similar prices.

The store was cramped and packed with people, so I was nervous about whether I’d be able to get in as I stepped inside.

This is the refrigerator. It’s stocked with single-serving items. I was full and satisfied.

I was very satisfied again today.
