For a local resident, not living so close to the CBD , usually spending more than half an hour on single commuter everyday , the cost will be much more lower. As for me , I only spend ￥15 on the restaurant for dinner near my apartment. And if you buy ingredients from local giant market, the cost will be much more lower.
