Popular Lunches
It’s common for co-workers to eat lunch together. Many Japanese bring
homemade box lunches (obentō) to school and work. At restaurants and
company dining halls (shokudō), relatively cheap lunches are served quickly.
Follow groups of office workers on the street around lunchtime to find the best

spots in that area.
