Catch it as it goes by

If you haven’t been to Japan, you may not have experienced the joys of kaiten (or turning) sushi.  You sit next to a conveyor belt, the raw fish just keeps going on by, and you can choose however many of whichever kind you like.

The funny thing is that when we went, Naoki said “Don’t take the ones on the belt… they aren’t fresh enough!” So we order them through a little machine at the table and then they come out on the belt with a special notice that the plate is for our table.  So those lonely pieces of not specifically ordered sushi just go around and around and around getting less and less fresh.

witttle teeenyyy sushi

well thats all there is to say really.  End of the night, we were the last customers in the sushi shop in Enoshima, and the sushi chef snuck us a few extra pieces out of the last bit of left over meguro with a wink and a “shhhh.”  Such a cute widdle itsy bitsy sushhhiiiiiii 🙂
