  • Well hello hello guys.

  • Hey guys.

  • It is lunchtime here and today we're going for a truly Japanese experience.

  • We are going to be having conveyer belt sushi.

  • Conveyer belt sushi (回転寿司) which is also known locally as Kaiten sushi (回転寿司).

  • Yes.

  • So excited.

  • Yeah we've actually had this before in other countries.

  • Yeah.

  • So this is our first time to have it though in Japan and we're super pumped and we've

  • brought our appetites.

  • Oh yeah.

  • So we finally found the restaurant.

  • It was a little bit complicated because it is on a second floor.

  • I know.

  • We ended up walking through a casino trying to get here.

  • Through a Pachinko Parlor.

  • Yeah.

  • Anyways this place looked like a gas station from the exterior.

  • It did.

  • Super confusing but we made it.

  • We're upstairs.

  • Second floor.

  • They handed us this little map so we are table 29 and then you find your way to your own

  • table.

  • Yep.

  • And then on the side they've got the conveyer.

  • They've got the conveyer belt with all of the little plates.

  • They sure do.

  • On the side.

  • Look at that.

  • Everything looks so good.

  • It does.

  • So yeah we're just going to dig right in.

  • And I think this place just opened like a few minutes ago.

  • I believe it opens at 10:20 am the morning so pretty early.

  • You can satisfy your sushi cravings.

  • Late breakfast perhaps.

  • So yeah this is going to be fun.

  • Alright so time for tea.

  • We've got our cups right here on the table.

  • You can fill your glass up with hot water.

  • Your cup with hot water.

  • Yep.

  • And then you just open this little jar right here.

  • And it is a green tea powder.

  • Like matcha.

  • So you just add it.

  • I'm not sure how much powder it needs to flavour it.

  • Put lots on I like that.

  • You want it strong.

  • Sure.

  • So you do that and then they also have little spoons so you mix it and then you can enjoy

  • as much green tea as you want with your sushi.

  • And I'm sure we'll need quite a bit.

  • Yes, to wash it down.

  • All of that fish.

  • Indeed.

  • Oh.

  • Alright Sam what are you seeing so far?

  • What are the options?

  • Oh my gosh there is tonnes.

  • Well you can see there is some shrimp here.

  • I've been seeing salmon.

  • I've been seeing some stuff that I don't even recognize to be perfectly honest which is

  • cool.

  • And so yeah we're getting ready to grab our first bite here.

  • What are you hoping will come by next?

  • I think I'm going to start off with salmon.

  • I mean that is a good way to go.

  • Classic salmon or tuna?

  • Classic salmon or tuna.

  • Alright let's see what is coming by.

  • This looks so good.

  • So good.

  • Come to me.

  • Come to me.

  • Let us begin.

  • We've got 4 plates in front of us.

  • I think this is a good start.

  • I was looking for the little bowls where you pour in the soy sauce but I can't find any

  • so I'm just going to have to pour it on this little plate.

  • Actually I'm going to start with this.

  • This looks good.

  • So I'm just going to put some on the plate and they say that you don't dip the rice.

  • You dip the fish.

  • And I've just discovered that is not soy sauce.

  • That is a very thick sauce.

  • This is soy sauce.

  • There we go.

  • There we go.

  • They also have wasabi that we can add as well.

  • We can dip I'll show you where that wasabi is.

  • Right here.

  • Wasabi here.

  • Hahaha.

  • Maybe we can put a little bit on the plate as well.

  • There you go.

  • We are being very messy right now guys.

  • But yeah this looks like salmon with maybe melted cheese.

  • Could it be?

  • Mmmm.

  • How is that?

  • Wow.

  • There is a lot of wow?

  • Mmmm.

  • That is so good.

  • Grilled salmon, melted cheese, a little bit of skin on the side.

  • So good.

  • Okay Sam your turn.

  • Alright.

  • Time to try this.

  • Going to pour a little bit of salmon on top.

  • A little bit of what?

  • Soy sauce.

  • Hahaha.

  • There is already a lot of salmon on top.

  • Sam is a little jet lagged still.

  • Yeah.

  • I am.

  • A bit of wasabi.

  • A bit of wasabi going on.

  • He's being adventurous with that wasabi.

  • Yeah, I'm going to mix that around a bit.

  • Alright let's try this.

  • One biter right?

  • Yep.

  • One biter or go home.

  • Mmmm.

  • How is that?

  • Mmmm.

  • It is absolutely wonderful.

  • I've been craving salmon so much and to get it here.

  • And the quality is really decent too.

  • Yeah, I would say so for sure.

  • Yeah.

  • For conveyer belt sushi (回転寿司) this is really good.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • It is just awesome.

  • Ah, it is just such a nice taste.

  • I love salmon.

  • Ready for this.

  • I'm just adding a little bit of soy sauce directly to the fish.

  • Audrey's second plate.

  • It already has wasabi.

  • Let's do this.

  • I wonder what is going on there.

  • Oh my gosh.

  • It looks like there is a lot.

  • I think it is egg.

  • Mmmm.

  • Someone's alarm is going off huh?

  • Seriously my alarm is going off and I can't really shut it off at the moment.

  • Mmmm.

  • I'll hide it under the table.

  • That is good.

  • Is it good?

  • Oh my gosh.

  • Do you know what is in it?

  • Mmmhmm.

  • Just give me one second.

  • My mouth is full.

  • It was a huge piece.

  • That took me a while.

  • I can tell you what is in it.

  • So let's take a closer look at this one I still have on the plate.

  • So we've got an egg and you know the way they cook the eggs here in Japan just to perfection.

  • Not too hard not too soft.

  • So you've got a bit of that egg, some chives.

  • Yep.

  • You've got fish.

  • I couldn't tell you exactly what kind it is but it is so tasty.

  • It might be tuna.

  • It could be.

  • It has got like a mayo sauce.

  • No mayo.

  • This is the egg.

  • Oh sorry that is the egg.

  • The white part.

  • Of course.

  • Just a little bit runny.

  • Okay.

  • It has got rice wrapped in seaweed.

  • Wonderful.

  • That was a good pick.

  • If there is any others similar in size.

  • I've got to try that.

  • Yeah.

  • Definitely.

  • Sam's turn.

  • He found something else.

  • Yep.

  • So let's try this.

  • I believe I've had this kind before.

  • And I think it might be a sweet type of tofu covering (Inari Sushi - いなり寿司).

  • I'm not entirely sure.

  • That reminds me of the fish cakes we had in Korea.

  • So I'm curious as to what the ingredient is.

  • Mmmm.

  • It is not fish.

  • That is really sweet.

  • Inside it is rice.

  • Yep.

  • Mmmm.

  • How do you like it?

  • I think it is kind of a sweet tofu based tasting.

  • Yeah.

  • I really like it.

  • It is sweet.

  • It is almost like you could have this as like a dessert sushi.

  • It is really really good.

  • Mmmm.

  • We are trying to decide what we're going to get next.

  • We've seen a few beef ones go by.

  • There is octopus as well.

  • Alright so this looked interesting.

  • Um I've already been picking at it but basically it is some rice with salmon and some chives.

  • So it kind of looks like the filing for the sushi (すし) minus the seaweed right.

  • Minus the nori.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • But yeah it is pretty good.

  • It is interesting.

  • Tasty?

  • Mmmhmmm.

  • Everything has been tasty.

  • I also think this is probably going to be a different price because it is a different

  • coloured plate.

  • Yes.

  • Yeah, that is right.

  • That is the first coloured plate like that.

  • All of these have been blue.

  • And those are 100 Yen.

  • So at this restaurant you can also win some prizes.

  • Once you've eaten five of these blue dishes and we've already got six at the table.

  • What you do is you grab them and you start putting them in this hole right here.

  • Right here.

  • And then you have the chance to win a prize because up top they have like.

  • Up top they have these boxes with toys.

  • You know those that come in the plastic capsules and you open it and there is a prize in there.

  • So yeah sometimes you win sometimes you don't.

  • Fingers crossed we'll get a little something here.

  • I like our luck today.

  • Here we go we're about to return our dishes.

  • One.

  • Two.

  • Three.

  • Four.

  • Five.

  • And we wait and we wait.

  • Does anything happen?

  • Maybe yes?

  • Maybe no?

  • Maybe yes.

  • Womp womp.

  • Hahaha.

  • Hahaha.

  • We didn't get a prize.

  • We have to eat five more.

  • Hahaha.

  • Now for a non-fish dish.

  • This doesn't look traditional at all.

  • I think this could be potentially bacon and cheese.

  • Yeah.

  • Let's try it.

  • Mmmm.

  • Oh wow.

  • That is.

  • Hahaha.

  • And the interesting part is that it actually it has like a sweet kind of teriyaki sauce

  • as well.

  • Oh.

  • So it is really really good.

  • Oh my gosh.

  • That is not traditional at all but it is delicious.

  • Hahaha.

  • I love it.

  • And time for another.

  • So you tried this one.

  • Not a fan.

  • You didn't like it.

  • It was a bit fatty for me.

  • Yeah so it is like fatty beef with the sauce.

  • Mmmm.

  • What do you think?

  • Yeah, I prefer the bacon one.

  • Yeah?

  • But I don't mind it though but the bacon one is definitely better.

  • Alright you've got yours and you've also got mine then.

  • There we go.

  • Enjoy my friend.

  • Hahaha.

  • Enjoy.

  • So we have accumulated yes another five plates.

  • Another stack of five.

  • So we're going to try our hand to see if we can win ourselves a prize.

  • That special prize.

  • Let's do it.

  • Put them in like this?

  • One.

  • Two.

  • Three.

  • Four.

  • Five.

  • Guys I think we're going to try one more time.

  • We already have two extra plates and we will have three more plates of this.

  • Three more plates of food.

  • That is right.

  • This is one way that they just keep you eating more and more to win the prize.

  • It is a very clever business move.

  • Oh my gosh.

  • I must say.

  • It is very clever.

  • I accidentally ate a big chunk of wasabi and I'm still recovering.

  • But anyways we've accumulated another five dishes guys.

  • Will the third time be the charm?

  • One can only hope.

  • Let's do it.

  • Oh no!

  • What?

  • I hit a home run.

  • He hit a home run!

  • What the heck.

  • No prize.

  • So evil.

  • I almost feel like we've got to keep playing until we win.

  • No way.

  • Okay.

  • Fifteen plus seventeen.

  • We've had 17 dishes.

  • We're going to get dessert though.

  • So we are stuffed.

  • That is the end of the sushi (すし) but we are going to have dessert.

  • And here at the table we've got like this cool little tablet where you can select additional

  • items like specialty items and they have a whole bunch of desserts like there is cakes,

  • there is shaved ice, tarts, donuts, french toast.

  • So I think we're each going to get a little dessert and yeah we'll show you how it works.

  • So it is very easy to change the language here.

  • You can select whether you want Korean, English, Japanese.

  • We're going for English of course and yeah here is our dessert selection.

  • So what do you want Sam?

  • Go next a couple of times to show what else there is.

  • So you can see there is cream puffs, pudding.

  • One more.

  • Yeah and that is our shaved ice.

  • So you want shaved ice.

  • I want this.

  • One milk or no milk?

  • No milk.

  • So now we go order.

  • The order was heard.

  • Thank you.

  • Your order was heard.

  • Cool.

  • (Speaking Japanese)

  • So it arrived.

  • Mango shaved ice.

  • Alright so my shaved ice made it.

  • This looks like uh a mango jam or a mango jelly and you just mix it all together.

  • Super refreshing in the summertime.

  • So we're going to have a little bit.

  • In the summertime eating our mangoes.

  • Duh duh duh.

  • That is really good.

  • Is it good?

  • We used to have something quite similar to this in Korea.

  • Bingsu.

  • Sulbing?

  • Yeah.

  • That is right.

  • Sulbing and Patbingsu.

  • And the sulbing.

  • Yeah, which is shaved ice.

  • Yeah.

  • With milk and beans.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • And you can get a whole bunch of different toppings that is popular here.

  • On a hot day you can't beat this.

  • Uh huh.

  • And we are still waiting for your dessert.

  • Yep.

  • Coming.

  • Look.

  • There we go.

  • Dessert time.

  • My caramel toast has arrived.

  • Take a look.

  • It looks like we've got some chopped up strawberries, we've got ice cream with a little bit of caramel

  • sauce on of course.

  • Some chopped up nuts and of course the star the toast.

  • But let's try that.

  • Let's try everything.

  • A miniature french toast.

  • It is.

  • It is really small.

  • It is a little portion.

  • Big scoop of ice cream though.

  • This one was 250 Yen.

  • In comparison to the 100 Yen dishes we're having.

  • Yours was as well I think.

  • Yeah.

  • 250.

  • Yep.

  • What do you think?

  • Oh that is nice.

  • Yeah.

  • It is also refreshing too.

  • Yep.

  • The ice cream is more of a refreshing than it is milky.

  • Oh, so it is good.

  • The more water based.

  • Yes.

  • Alright guys so that was a wonderful conveyer belt sushi meal.

  • A feast of sushi conveyer belt feasts.

  • Hahaha.

  • Anyways it is time for me to check out.

  • And as you can tell here this is all of the data we've accumulated.

  • We have 17 plates.

  • I'm not sure what the 14 means.

  • I think that is just maybe our station.

  • And I have no idea what that means.

  • It also tracks our dessert items.

  • Yes, it does.

  • Yeah.

  • So we can press the check out.

  • So we just finished paying the bill.

  • We sure did.

  • The way it works is you press the check-out button yep on the tablet.

  • Then a guy comes over he makes sure you've put in all your plates.

  • Yep.

  • To make sure everything is being tracked.

  • Then you go to the front with the little number you get when you first arrive at the restaurant

  • and then you pay.

  • You pay.

  • Exactly.

  • The total was the total came to 2376 Yen which was what $21.70 US dollars.

  • Less than 22 US dollars.

  • Yes.

  • For all of that sushi (すし).

  • So less than eleven US dollars per person.

  • It was so good.

  • And we're leaving stuffed.

  • It was so good.

  • Yeah.

  • And it was just such a fun experience.

  • Yes.

  • I would come back again.
