For our first restaurant meal in Tokyo, we went for conveyor belt sushi at Sushiro. Ingrid could probably live on just sushi for a week, and while I’m not quite that enamoured with it, I do love eating good sushi.<\/p>\n

Japanese conveyor belt sushi is not like Swedish conveyor belt sushi. In both, there is a belt that snakes its way through the entire restaurant, and tables next to the belt, and the belt brings food to everyone.<\/p>\n

In Stockholm and London, there is always food on the belt. You look at the food that glides past, and pick whatever you like. When you’re done, you count the empty plates and pay for each one. Usually they’re colour-coded for different price groups.<\/p>\n

In Tokyo, it’s all individual and customized and computerized. There’s a tablet at each table with an incredibly long menu of sushi, sashimi, side orders, desserts etc. Tap and order, and a few minutes later, your plate arrives on the belt and stops in front of you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had counter seats (as opposed to a full table) which was about as glamorous as a fast food restaurant. It was a fast food restaurant, I guess. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But the choice of fish was incredible to my Swedish eyes, and the quality of it was great.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At first we ordered things we recognized and knew we would love. You can’t go wrong with seared salmon. Later I got more adventurous and tried a few more odd items out of pure curiosity. I ate this thing and I can’t even remember what it was.<\/p>\n
