You may have heard that living in Japan, and Tokyo, is prohibitively expensive. Well there is no denying the fact that, compared to Australia, it is expensive to buy food here but nothing that is way too expensive and falls into the “luxury” class.


There was a hankering in the household last night for some pizza, so I headed out to a domino’s pizza store and picked up a couple of large pizza’s (sounds so easy when you write it in a dozen words).



Now while the pizza was good, especially with beer, and the I didn’t realise how much I was missing melted cheese until the smell of the pizza’s hit me on the walk home some quick calculation highlighted that each of the pizza’s was approximate 35 Australian dollars. Not unexpected for a “gourmet” pizza in Australia but this was a domino’s pizza with no goats cheese, prosciutto or artichoke hearts in sight. But of course, when the need arises, we will be getting some more!
