Sushi Train


  All Aboard! Last night Kotaro-san, his mother, father, uncle and aunt took us to a sushi train restaurant, or conveyor belt sushi restaurant to those in America.  I'm sure someone in America is making much money with this idea, but we have not seen it yet.  
  You can make your sushi selections from the train.  The plates have the cost of the sushi listed on them.  Another option is to order selections from the menu and these will be sent on special plates.  This restaurant was so popular we had to wait for a table.  When you enter the restaurant you write your name on a list which gives you an idea of how long you will have to wait.
  The sushi coming down the tracks was endless. Fatty tuna, anago and unagi. Salmon, a local fish we can not remember and a shrimp the likes we have never seen. We believe it to be a fresh water variety, but from where ever it was it was oishi.
    I cannot describe how much fun we had here with Kotaro-san's family.  We were using keyboard translators which made the evening very amusing, for at one point an incorrect entry led us to believe we had ordered the whole garage!  This place served VERY large beers as you can see from my picture below.  We call them Big Boy beers.
