Does anyone know the average meal price in Japan?<p>"set off the price war by cutting the price of its standard beef bowl to 320 yen, or $3.55"<p>In the US fast food restaurants all include a "99c" menu. You can get burger, fries and soda for $3. Seems like $3.55 isn't a shocking amount for a leading fast food chain.<p>Certainly the margins on a beef bowl are different than a burger and fries, but it struck me that these amounts aren't as low as I expected give that it's becoming national news in Japan.
