Sushi Tyme

On Thursday night I had the best sushi. Finally convinced my coworkers to eat out. I wanted sushi, something not too expensive. We ended up at another cheap looking rotary sushi place. The signs outside said something about 105yen. This one was almost completely computerized. The waitlist was through a touchscreen system. The sushi still goes around on the belt for the most part, but if you want to order something, there are touch screens at every table. Hit a few buttons, and a few minutes later, your order comes by on second level track-like a mini train. You take your order off the train, press a button, and it disappears. It reminded me of Mr.Rogers' train to the creepy puppet land.

But this was no ordinary sushi. This sushi happened to have the freshest fish I have tasted outside of my own catch. The negitoro was buttery, the raw scallops were so sweet. The ikura was perfect. The hamachi....everything was absolutely excellent. Lots of aku, clam miso soup. Every single thing I ate was taste perfect. The real jaw-dropper was the price. Yes-as apparently the flags advertised- 105yen for each plate. The clam miso ran 157 yen, desserts about 210 yen, the beer 510yen, but every fish, shellfish, snail, you name it, was 105yen per plate. Forget ambiance, forget ceramic dishes, what is important is good ingredients, and this place-hands down-had the best I have ever had in my life. It is called Kappa, and I take this over the sushi I had 50 yards from Tsukiji fish market. I ate to bursting, regretting the beer I ordered, as it took up precious stomach space. The next night I also saw a tray of scallops still in the shell at the market-seven scallops for 100yen. This is a seafood paradise.

I regret I haven't many pictures. But if anyone thinks I am soo lucky, here are a couple of pictures of where I typically am spending the majority of my time. Large abandoned, boarded up buildings, note the glass on the floor, the spider eggs in all the corners. Nice, huh? Today when I opened one door, 4 large spiders ran to hide.
