In my travels and studies in/about Japan I thought they could not possibly top the awesomeness that is the Beer Vending Machine. Especially during summer time when it is hot and humid. The only thing you want is a nice cold Asahi Super Dry to help make the mugginess a bit more tolerable. I was wrong. That invention of course is the Kaitenzushi or the Sushi-go-around as I so affectionately call it.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before on the site but perhaps not. This is how the Kaitenzushi works: You sit down. You watch the sushi rotate nice and slowly before you. You salivate a little bit. Here comes the best part – you just take what you want and you know the price just by looking at the plate. Incredible huh? So at this particular place the purple plate was ¥400, dark green ¥350, blue ¥250, red ¥200, light green ¥150.

In the end – you get to eat delicious sushi for cheap. Total between Yumi and myself we packed away about 10 dollars worth of sushi each – but we were stuffed – and splurged for a single ¥400 sushi. I’ve never had fish literally MELT in my mouth before.

This particular 回転鮨屋 was in the Tokyo station. By in the station I mean in the station as in you are on your way in, out, or transferring trains to eat at this place. Though I was also surprised that there was a Uniqlo and some bookstores as well in the station. Neat huh?
