For those that would like to try out shokudos, here is some Japanese writing of meals so that you can know which button on the ticket vending machine that you should be looking for.
| Menu Items | Japanese |
|---|
| Fried Pork Cutlet Meal Set | とんかつ定食 |
| Fried Pork Cutlet Bowl | とんかつ丼 |
| Okinawa Soba | (沖縄)そば |
| Goya Champru | ゴーヤチャンプルー |
| Yakiniku Meal Set | 焼肉定食 |
| Cooked Beef | 牛肉炒め |
| Fried Rice | チャーハン |
| Chicken Curry & Rice | チキンカレー |
| Chicken Curry, Rice, & Pork Cutlet | チキンカツカレー |
| Teriyaki Chicken Bowl | 照焼き丼 |
There are more menu items that can be introduced, but these are what most shokudos serve.
While meal sets come with rice and miso soup served in different bowls, the "bowl menus" come with the food on top of the rice in a bowl.
I hope you will find shokudos comfortable dining places; and, if you find something that you're unsure of, be sure to post it here to clarify and share!
