Just working my way through a textbook plugging vocab into Anki is my preffered method. All the vocabulary comes in context and is always varied (it won't use 食べる for every food vocab you encounter). With abstract nouns and verbs, I can easily include example sentences to clarify to meaning.
I'm working through the 漢字学習ステップ books. The sentences aren't long, but holy hell are they many and varied. Common word context is simply getting pounded into my head. I highly reccommend it.
Pen and pencil, or the save feature on your dictionary during the day is great for people in Japan.
I happen to do quite well with vocab lists, but spend the time to discover the nuances of the usage before I start drilling them.
