My family loves the Pepper Lunch chain that sells sizzling platters of beef and rice for about 800 yen a meal. Yesterday as I was buying some things in Ameyoko, near JR Okachimachi station, I found one in the B1F of a building right near one of the JR station exits.
Although there was a sign indicating that the company had been forced to raise the price of its selections due to rising raw materials costs, still, for 780 yen I was able to eat a cube steak platter with an extra large serving of rice. With bean sprouts and some sliced carrots and beans, it makes for a full meal, although it would be nice to have a little bit more meat.
Just a note: yesterday one guy was running the operation all by himself. A vending machine took the orders, but the guy was the greeter, water pourer, rice server, and the hot platter chef. It was just so fun to see how efficiently this young server was working and how cheerful he was in spite of the fact that it must've been exhausting to have maintained that pace for the last hour or so.

Pepper Lunch -> find more about the chain here. This is actually for the Singapore affiliate of the chain (wow! they serve fish and lamb there!) but it gives a much better version of the Pepper Lunch thing than the garbled English that appears on the Japanese site (which appears to have been machine-translated ...)
