Yes, it is possible...

Gate to immigration is about 10 minutes. Then it depends how long the foreigner line is: 5 to 30 min is typical. From there past baggage about 3 minutes. Lots of decent J food (udon, katsu etc) can be had on the 3rd (or maybe 2nd) floor. Not much to be had airside though. Going back through immigration 10min, 10 to gate, boarding call 30-45 min early. You'd have time for a burger I guess.

I also wonder if you need a to pay a facilities charge-maybe not, but I know I got tagged for one in BKK once when I left the airport for 12 hours.

All this begs the question though of why you would go through so many hoops. Your F will give you lounge access and fine food on the plane, right?
