Sushiro

 

One thing I just had to try while in Japan is a revolving sushi restaurant. So, of course, when the others talked about going, I just had to say yes. We ended up going to a restaurant called "Sushiro" in the small city/town of Esaka, which is about a 20 min walk, plus 5 min train ride.

Minami-senri, where our dorm resides, is more of a 'suburb' compared to Esaka which is more like a mini-city.

At rolling-sushi restaurants, the sushi comes down on a conveyer belt and you can choose which items you'd like to eat. You're charged by how many plates are on your table in the end. If the plate is on a yellow 'bowl,' that means it was ordered by someone and you shouldn't take it.

 

Once we were able to get a table, we then had to order what food we wanted, because the good stuff kept getting taken before it made to our table.

You order off this screen and the food will appear on the conveyer belt after a few moments. The spout below his hand offers hot water for your tea.

 

There are dishes other than sushi that a person can choose from; from soba noodles to beer, you can get pretty much anything. They even had dessert.

 

 

While I was only able to eat 9 plates, Isobel put us all to shame with her 15 plates. Ailea is looking on in envy.

 

I'm proud of my 9 plates! (But as you can see in the background, the Nihonzin were putting us all to shame)

Sayonara!
