My kids love Japanese food and eat it regularly and I have a pretty good idea what a meal like that would cost in Thailand.
Lunch is always your best bet for bargains in Tokyo- actually, that is probably true at the nicer joints here in BKK, too. 880 yen (about 310 baht) all-in for that, and the portions were really amazing. Friendly service too. The sea urchin was as fresh as it comes, no trace of bitterness.
If nobody minds I'll post a photo of an amazing sushi bargain I found near where I stayed in Shibamata (home of Tora-san). This was 550 yen at Ito-Yokado:

Some of the salmon roe spilled over on the way home, although the shop had put a couple of the red caviar on the bay scallops in the middle. Really fresh and good, under 200 baht (!). Dang, I am homesick already.
