Gyudon

Trade your burger and bun for thin strips of beef cooked with onions in a savoury sauce and piled on top of rice.

This is truly home grown Japanese fast food. Though facing stiff competition from international fast food chains, gyudon joints still rule a good chunk of the market.

Fast, filling and, above all, cheap, salarymen and high school students crowd in at lunchtimes and prop up the counter at all hours since gyudon restaurants are often open through the night.
