What Japanese Salarymen Eat When Sick | $8 Set Meal

Hi, I'm Kai. I'm a Japanese salaryman living and working in Japan. After long days of work, I often find comfort in simple meals. Tonight I visited Ootoya, a popular Japanese restaurant chain known for healthy, home-style set meals. Ootoya focuses on balanced Japanese cooking — grilled fish, vegetables, rice, and miso soup. Many people come here when they want something warm, simple, and nourishing. Today I ordered a grilled mackerel set meal with multigrain rice and vegetable miso soup. The total was about $8. It might not look fancy, but meals like this are an important part of everyday life in Japan.
