KappaSushi!

Last night, Toshiko offered to take us to the import store. We went and found things...like peanut butter, salsa and pesto! Most of the store was normal Japanese groceries with a few imported or hard-to-find items sprinkled about the store. After we were done there, we went to a roller sushi restaurant.

A roller sushi (also called conveyor belt sushi) restaurants have all of their tables arranged around a conveyor belt which carries plates of sushi and other food items past each table. If you wish to eat something going by, you just grab it. The plates are color coded and an employee counts them all up at the end and puts them on your bill. You can also order sushi to be sent to your table. At the particular restaurant we went to (Kappa-sushi), a little train delivers the food you ordered from the kitchen. There is also a hot water dispenser, stacks of cups and containers of tea and condiments at every table, so you never need waiting staff until it's time to leave! It wasn't my first time to a roller sushi restaurant, but it was still fun and amazing. Also delicious. The three of us ate ¥2257 (roughly equivalent to $22.57) worth of sushi. In America, that same sushi would likely have totaled at least $80. Delicious!

So THAT is what that weird business in Pokemon Stadium is with the Lickitungs and the moving plates of sushi!
