Nowadays, what you&#8217;ll find in Japan are both &#8220;nare-sushi&#8221; and &#8220;oshi-sushi.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oshi-sushi is the more modern version of sushi and is simply a block of rice with fish on top, pressed together with a bamboo mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oshi-sushi came about when more people moved away from their homes, and everyone wanted to take their food with them. As sushi consumption increased, shops that sell oshi-sushi also became prevalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where the issue of cost comes in. While nare-sushi was eaten sparingly and on special occasions, oshi-sushi is more common and can be found in many areas throughout Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of sushi largely depends on the type you are looking for. People have different tastes, so there are many kinds of sushi available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, some people prefer freshwater fish like the famous &#8220;ayu,&#8221; while others prefer sea fish like tuna or squid. There are also vegetarian varieties of sushi that substitute the egg for fish (called tamagoyaki).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sushi is eaten both at home and as a meal in many shops. The way it&#8217;s also eaten changes depending on the type of sushi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when eating nigiri-Sushi (the kind with a slice or two of fish draped over rice), you&#8217;ll use your fingers to hold the sushi and dip it in soy sauce before eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When enjoying oshi-sushi, you don&#8217;t use your hands and pick it up with the provided chopsticks. This allows for less of the rice to fall off as you eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price-varies-between-stores-and-regions\">Price varies between stores and regions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The place where you buy your sushi is significant in determining its price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A good rule of thumb:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The further from a central metropolitan area (<strong>Tokyo<\/strong>, <strong>Osaka<\/strong>, etc.), the cheaper the sushi will be. If you buy from a supermarket or department store, it&#8217;ll probably even be on sale for half price!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When eating sushi in a shop, many factors go into determining its cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of fish used is essential because some types are rarer than others, costing more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is particularly true with the fish used to prepare sushi for weddings and other significant events because they&#8217;re considered higher quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, whether or not you are eating at a conveyor belt sushi shop (sushi-go-round) will dramatically change your order&#8217;s price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, &#8220;sushi-go-round&#8221; shops are much cheaper than other sushi bars. They do this by ordering their fish in bulk and only changing the ingredients when they become low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fact will also change how you eat your sushi because instead of sitting at a table to eat it as you would elsewhere, you&#8217;ll sit around a counter and grab pieces as they go by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sushi bars (where you sit down and order your food) are cheaper than higher-end sushi restaurants, but prices can still vary widely depending on the type of restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, many sushi restaurants in Japan offer all-you-can-eat deals called &#8220;kaisen-don.&#8221; The quality will be better than in sushi-go-round shops but cheaper than eating a la carte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sushi is a food defined by its fresh ingredients and simple presentation, so to get the best-tasting Sushi in Japan, you should check or ask what&#8217;s currently in season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With that said, when does sushi go on sale? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that depends on the region, but spring is generally the best time to go because all the fish are fresh from the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer, many seasonal ingredients are available, and sushi chefs will try to use these as much as possible to offer their customers something new and exciting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"so-what-should-you-do-if-you-want-to-eat-cheap-sushi\">So what should you do if you want to eat cheap sushi?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In Tokyo, head to the city&#8217;s outer regions.<\/strong> There&#8217;s a lot in these areas, so try walking around to find something that suits your taste. Just be sure to go there between lunch and dinner because many shops close between those hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/lovefortraveling.com\/is-osaka-worth-visiting\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1810\">if you are in Osaka<\/a><\/strong>, head to the department stores because they usually have sushi deals on display. Sushi prices vary widely depending on where you buy it and what kind of restaurant you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, try eating different varieties to taste how other fish affect the flavor of the sushi rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, try eating sushi in the season because it tastes the best. This way, you can enjoy fresh, delicious sushi at a reasonable price!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-to-buy-cheap-sushi-in-japan\">Where to Buy Cheap Sushi in Japan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/lovefortraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cheap-Sushi-in-Japan.jpeg\" alt=\"Cheap-Sushi-in-Japan\" class=\"wp-image-1443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovefortraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cheap-Sushi-in-Japan.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/lovefortraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cheap-Sushi-in-Japan-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lovefortraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cheap-Sushi-in-Japan-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_42e383-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_42e383-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_42e383-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:800px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding-top:1rem;padding-bottom:2rem;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_42e383-00 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_42e383-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_42e383-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_42e383-00 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{display:flex;}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:40px;padding-right:40px;padding-bottom:40px;padding-left:40px;}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{box-shadow:0px 14px 25px -10px var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-top:2px solid #4caf50;border-right:2px solid #4caf50;border-bottom:2px solid #4caf50;border-left:2px solid #4caf50;}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kt-row-column-wrap > .kadence-column_d49fb3-22{align-self:center;}.kt-inner-column-height-full:not(.kt-has-1-columns) > .wp-block-kadence-column.kadence-column_d49fb3-22{align-self:auto;}.kt-inner-column-height-full:not(.kt-has-1-columns) > .wp-block-kadence-column.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#e8f5e9;}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:2px solid #4caf50;border-right:2px solid #4caf50;border-bottom:2px solid #4caf50;border-left:2px solid #4caf50;flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:2px solid #4caf50;border-right:2px solid #4caf50;border-bottom:2px solid #4caf50;border-left:2px solid #4caf50;flex-direction:column;}}.kadence-column_d49fb3-22 .our-pick-arrow mark {  position: relative;
