Yay sushi ^^ It’s one of my favorite foods, I find it very refreshing. I like the simple flavor with the tiny bit of sweet from the rice and soy sauce. One of my most favorite places to eat is a Sushi-go-round, they put pieces of sushi on a plate, then set the plate on a conveyor belt that runs around the store. When a piece you want comes past you you grab it off the belt. All of the resturants let you order specality stuff too so if you don’t see what you want you order it. They rebuilt the sushi-go-round at the Shimoda mall which is near here and it really rocks now! At each area/booth there is a little touch screen ordering menu, you pick what you want then hit send. In a couple minutes the food comes out to you on a little Shinkansen (bullet train) on a track and you grab your food off it and hit a button and it heads back to the kitchen.

I like sushi, too. XD
That’s a cute concept for a restaurant wherein the chibi-train will deliver your food.

Yeah ^^ It’s actually a chain of restaurants called Kappa Sushi. I found a link to their main site:

Oooh… How does that work? Is it buffet-style? How will they charge you? Do they charge everyone regardless of what they got, or is it based on what you ordered?

Good question! The plates are color coded; a certain color plate means it’s a specific price. Most all the sushi-go-rounds here cost 100 yen ($1.00) for most plates; salmon, tuna, mackerel, ebi (shrimp), ika (squid) being the most common. The most expensive plate I’ve had was 800 yen ($8), and that was at the nicest sushi-go-rounds in this area. The design on the 800 yen plate was all shiny blue and gold, to show that it was a “special” plate. As you finish a plate you just stack it up next to you, and then when you’re done you call a attendant over and they count up the plates by color, and mark it on a receipt, which you then take up to the register to pay for. Lots of restaurants offer kids toys if you buy over a certain amount worth of food. ^^ Usually you’ll find a Hello Kitty or Doremon toy if they do offer them. I’ma see about taking a better picture XD That one I posted is pretty blurry lol.

Yay! Sushi is so good, it’s got such a nice fresh taste and doesn’t make you feel all stuffed. I’m loving it here cause it’s so cheap XD 6 pieces of sushi in Texas cost you like 10 bucks, I’m sure it was cheaper on the west coast though.
