A shokudo is literally a dining hall. The word is usually used for fairly plain restaurants serving traditional Japanese food, often very similar to what you might cook at home. Lately, though, we've been seeing some new, cafeteria-style restaurants in all the towns around here. Some of them are called hinode shokudo. Others are called by the name of the town where they're located -- Ishii Shokudo, Kitajima Shokudo, etc.
The food is pretty good, pretty cheap, and cafeteria-style. Also, they have re-usable chopsticks, as I showed in a posting on March 8th.
