After a long afternoon at the doctor’s office, we decided to grab a quick dinner at Saizeriya, one of Japan’s most beloved casual restaurant chains.

What is Saizeriya?

Saizeriya is a very affordable Italian-style restaurant chain in Japan. Almost everyone in Japan knows it.

Why locals love it?

  • Very cheap
  • Easy to enter
  • Family-friendly
  • I can stay relaxed

What we ordered

This is the menu. It includes photos, so it’s easy to see what each dish looks like. There is no English menu, but the dish names were supplemented with small English translations.
This is my daughter’s favorite corn pizza.
This is the meal my daughter and I ordered. We shared it between the two of us.

Total cost

How much did all this cost?

Translating the part marked with a circle on the receipt…

Total: 1,550 yen (10.11 USD)!

It’s very cheap even among Japanese restaurants!

If you want to experience everyday Japanese life, not just tourist spots, Saizeriya is a perfect place to visit.
