The ocean around Japan has a lot of marine life, and seafood is seen everywhere over there. So how can seafood be more money?
Also, how can Japan be one of the most expensive places to live, and yet there is such a big difference between US Dollars to Japanese Yen ??

the broth Kanji not the noodles
Not just bones I think, but the marrow as well, that is why cholesterol is high
Why? because seafood is probably more in demand than meat. The fresher the seafood is the more expensive it is.
Example: 3 slices of fresh salmon will probably cost you around 500yen up
and 5 slices of pork steak just cost about the same and sometimes cheaper.
A fresh "saba" or mackerel can go all the way up to 1000yen per piece ..
Of course there are still more expensive than the one I mentioned depending on its quality.
If you go to a high grade sushi bar, it will probably cost you more than 10,000yen in one meal. The quality of the fish is really awesome and so delicious.
