HANEDA AIRPORT Terminal 2: Tonkatsu Wako Bento for the best value because Airports are crazy expensive... got 670 yen? (Panasonic TZ60)

Living in Japan I`m not such a fan of paying a premium for franchise restaurants at the airport..

Dine-In Rosu Katsu (Pork Cutlet) set is 1,430 yen...but you get free refills of the side dishes.

Premium Ro-Su Pork Katsu

So I find my self at the take-away bento section.

Its all me! The least expensive option Ro-Su Katsu 670 yen.

Now off to my departure gate. 

As for airport prices this is a steal! Small bentos near the gate are around 1,000 yen and not much volume. 

It was made to order so very crispy on the outside.  You just cant go wrong for 670 yen (USD 4.75 at todays exchange rate USD1 to JPY 144).  Anyways if you are on a budget for delicious food give Wako at Haneda Terminal 2 a try! On the 4th floor near the outdoor deck to view planes.

Restaurant is near this Blue Cow.

OSAKA SHINSEKAI: Niku-No-Sakamoto. Beef steak sandwich to perfection... 500 yen so tender! (Pentax K-5iis)

 

Just a few minutes walk from Tsutenkaku Tower is this fairly abandoned shopping arcade called Shinsekai Shijo... Kind of reminds me of the shopping arcade in central Naha (Okinawa)

This place must have been super busy pre-internet era.

Time for my sandwich!

Menu choices are Beef Katsu 500 yen or Tonkatsu (pork) 450 yen Sandwich. 

The 80 yen corokke seemed to be a hit too.

The lady preparing my sandwich in the back was taking her time... making it perfect.

She sliced off the bread ears and cut up the sandwich into 6 pieces. Took about 10 min.

Sooo meaty and nicely favored with special sauce.  It was sooo good.

There is a tiny table and one skinny bench if you want to eat in 

If you are in the area definitely give the beef sandwich a try! Will be back!
