Restaurant food in America is just hideously expensive, once you factor in the 20% tip that's expected. Even before tip it's very expensive.

It's not just Japan; every developed nation outside North America has much more reasonable prices for eating out.

I live in Western Europe and convenience stores and fast food has become really expensive, except for bread. A 500mL coke and premade salad or other lunch menu can easily set you back €10. McDonalds is almost €15 and even a kebab is usually over €10 now.
