Sushi Bar

One of the things we've enjoyed the most is the culture here. We usually go out to eat once a pay period and its taken a while to figure out what everything is. We've learned that if a dish has "tempura" in the title it means it will be deep-fried, soba is hugely popular and is kind of like a thick-noodle soup with various ingredients, Chanpuru is similar to stir-fry, goya is a bitter melon that looks like cucumbers and is put in a lot of things, etc. For the most part, we've learned this all through trial and error. Our latest eating out adventure was one of our favorite.
A couple of days ago we ended up in a Sushi bar in Chattan. If you will notice behind Pete there are a bunch of little plates on what looks to be a counter. This is actually a revolving belt that carries the plates along all the tables in the bar. You simply pick the plates up off of the conveyor belt and you pay by the plate. The sushi was very fresh and there was a great variety. We tried eel sushi for the first time- it was actually pretty good. The kids still aren't huge fish fans but they did like the tempura chicken. Hopefully I'll get Pete to post something next week.
