Prices are/should be comparable, if not a little cheaper. But depends on where in the USA you are from.

I'm from CA and I would say that groceries overall tend to be slightly more expensive in Japan, especially produce and dairy. Meat is about the same, while seafood and Japanese foods are cheaper. Eating out, on the other hand, can be relatively less expensive in Japan than in the US since tax and tip are included in the prices.
