You may have tried some Japanese food, such as sushi or katsu soba.
But there is so much more to try, when walking around you will see restaurants with examples of how the food looks in a plastic on a plate, I even saw examples of crepes/waffles made in plastic which seemed strange.
My favourite food I tried was Shabu Shabu where you get thin slices of beef and swish it around using chopsticks in boiling water, you get so much but I found eating the tofu this way was so hard 
. I also liked okonomixiyaki which I had in Osaka and takoyaki.
Other Japanese foods: Miso Soup, Umeboshi, Tofu, Natto, Onigiri, Tempura, Eel Don, Beef Don, Sukiyaki, Shabu-Shabu, Oden, Sashimi, Soba, Yakitori, Tonkatsu, Udon & Ramen.
It is polite to say “itadakimasu” when you receive your food and “oghdhgkhs” when you finish.
When I went to Asakusa they have a small sweet shop where they make dough objects which look like the 5 star Pagoda or the pigeons around the temple.
There are many restaurant and places to eat you can go to, I went to Izakaya where you can eat an drink. This sound’s pretty normal to foreigners like myself, but in japan I kept getting told that is why they go their. You can order something small and have drinks and share with your friends, it’s pretty cheap and I tried it a few times.
You can find restaurants everywhere, either upstairs, on street level or underground. In Tokyo Station you can go downstairs and there are so many restaurants to choose from, I went to a Okinawa style restaurant and had a mixture of different stir fry’s and had a rice dish which had taco mince and cheese, really different but nice. I also tried Sake for the first time.
To try Sake I would go to a proper Sake Bar, I got taken to one but as a foreigner I have no idea how hard it would be to order the different types as a friend helped me and showed me the Sake bar.
They have many cocktails in the Izakaya and beers, which are about as expensive as fizzy drinks such as coke etc. With most other meals you will be given brown tea or green tea and a glass of water.
If you get bored of eating Japanese food, you can always find a Mcdonalds. (info about Mcdonalds), KFC, Subway, Mos Burger, Lotterie and I saw so many italian restaurants, a few indian, chinese, mexican etc. One thing I didn’t really enjoy in Japan was the spaghetti noodles as it is too oily.
The price of the food is different depending on your budget, I went wrong and thought that most meal’s cost about 1000 yen each day, since i came back I was told the price is about 200 yen in some places and some sushi bars it is about 100 yen.
