Why it worked

The video taps into the popular 'budget challenge' trend, making it relatable and engaging for viewers interested in travel and food. The creator's personal experience and commentary, combined with clear visuals of the food and pricing, create an entertaining and informative narrative.

Summary

The creator challenges themselves to a random budget of 1500 yen in Tokyo for a day of eating. They start with sushi at Sushiro, noting the price increase over the years, and then grab a soy milk drink from a convenience store. For lunch, they opt for crab soba from a vending machine restaurant, which costs 850 yen. The video concludes with the creator reflecting on their total spending of 1528 yen, which is slightly over budget but still less than 10 USD.
