Can't get enough of sushi...

Kaiten-zushi.

Every week I probably get at least one instance where I crave kaiten sushi.  I mean, I crave sushi in general, but kaiten is the way to go when you're an exchange student on a budget with no source of income.  Yes.  

It's just so cheap, compared to actual sushi bars or restaurants.  2 pieces of sushi, with big pieces of fish on top for 130 yen.  Better fish = more expensive of course.  But you never go for those, duh.  

I usually go to the place I blogged about before.  After class with a couple of friends - it's a no-brainer.  But I discovered this new place right around the corner that looked like it had more seats, more selection, and bigger variation in prices from 85 yen to 300.

Sushi!  Probably the first thing people think of when they think of Japan.  But let me tell you, sushi here is not that common.  Well you can probably find a sushi joint while walking down the street if you so wished, but it's not a staple in the Japanese diet.  

My first sushi experience whilst living here in Tokyo was at a local sushi bar in Okusawa.  A bunch of us were supposed to go out for kaiten (conveyor belt) sushi, but some decided not to go in the end, so it was just me and Michael again.  We decided not to go too far, but we were still in search of sushi.  After wandering around our neighbourhood for a while we found a really modern looking sushi bar.  We knew it was sushi because the name on the outside said sushi in Hiragana...
