Erin said that I am the worst blog rider ever, so to prove her wrong, here is a nice blog about food dedicated to her:
Have you ever had an experience where you think, "Man, this is so wonderful--this is probably the best thing in the world"? I have had this experience, and they call it Sushiro-- the greatest kaitensushi in the world.*
Now friends, you are probably thinking, "Kaitensushi? I don't speak Japanese!" But don't be alarmed; it only means revolving sushi. Revolving sushi? You may say, "No, no--this sounds to magnificent to be real. There must be some kind of catch." But no! There is
no catch! For 105 yen a plate (the current exchange rate--where the yen is beating up the dollar--makes this about $1.10 a plate), you get two pieces of delicious, amazing sushi, delivered straight from the conveyor belt next to the table. But what if your favorite sushi has not revolved in awhile? No problem! A little intercom connected to the table connects you with the sushi chefs, who will prepare a fresh set just for you! And since this is Japan, there is no tax or tip to dampen your check! Of the multiple times I have been to Sushiro, I have always walked away with a full stomach of delicious sushi--and have never paid over 1000 yen (around $11).
Now the real beauty of Sushiro's kaitensushi comes in the variety. Of course, they have the old favorites like salmon and tuna, but they also get a little creative with their options, offering choices such as seafood salad, corn, and my personal favorite, meatball. And when you are finished with dinner, grab a dessert from the revolving pathway, such as panna cotta or tiramisu (complete with cornflakes). Truly, Sushiro is God's gift to the stomach.
