Our family loves conveyor belt sushi,
So today we are trying out a new one for us, it's called Sushiro
So come along and let's see if we like it
[Life in Japan Theme Song]
We love Japan’s conveyor-belt sushi restaurants, or kaiten sushi.
We have to wait for our number to show up.
134
126, we have a little ways...
Today we’re trying one of Japan’s most famous chains for the very first time.
Once our number was called, we scanned in and got our table number.
Everything in the restaurant is automated,
and from beginning to finish, we didn’t interact with any staff. That’s impressive.
Here we go — oh Becca goes right in!
Oh, and Joshua also! Ooo, it looks good already, huh guys?
This one you can grab your food off the conveyor belt or you can order on the iPad.
OK- oh, there's English!
That's nice.
"We are now changing the language environment to English."
Look at that French fry! Oh!
Wow- chicken nuggets? Oh yes.
Let's try one of both. Or maybe two of both.
The way you can order or just eat what passes by is truly fun and unique.
Salmon with cheese, let's try one.
Joshua's just digging in!
And Becca!
Hey Sarah, can you pray for us?
Me? Pray? Yes! Yes!
OK ready?
Dear Jesus, thank you for this wonderful day and for this wonderful food
and help this Sushiro to be really yummy, in Jesus name.
Amen!
How it compare, Becca?
But right from the start, we were concerned we had made a seriously blunder.
No no no no, not yet Sarah!
That's people's stuff!
Oh! I wonder if you guys got people's stuff?!
Did you grab people's stuff?
See, it's special order!
I don't think I grabbed the special order.
Welp, good thing it wasn't me!
So we're a little concerned...
All of the sushi comes out on this conveyor belt,
But the special orders for our table also come out on this conveyor belt
So we have to watch and look for when our orders come, and then get them.
You really have to pay attention.
Tuna rolls for Joshua and Anna.
Fortunately, we didn’t grab anyone else’s sushi, and it clearly announces when your sushi is about to arrive.
Your order is coming.
That's how we know. There it is right there!
That's daddy's!
Right there- get it Becca!
At this point we almost made another blunder by grabbing the wrong special order,
but fortunately for us our Becca reads better Kanji than we do yet!
Oh! You're right!
So look- ours are the yellow colors that come on these trays.
And with that, it was finally time to try some sushi.
Daddy's going to try the cheese and salmon.
Oh, there comes mommy's.
Whoa! Look at that! Whoa!
Can I have chopsticks, please? Chopsticks!
A little bit of soy sauce
Mommy's going to try hers and Daddy's going to try his.
Oh uh, fumble over there!
Yummy?
This is everything you want from cheese and salmon right here.
When the next order came, we knew exactly what to do.
Ah, here comes the chicken nuggets.
Oh baby!
Yes!
One of our favorite things. Bring it, Sarah.
She had to take her portion of the proceeds.
I guess.
These are some of our favorite — the fries, the karage
It might be a sushi restaurant, but boy is it good, huh?
It's not "Karage" it's "Karaage"
That's right.
After my Japanese was corrected, it was time to try something new.
Would you like to try salmon basil with and a chunk of mozzarella?
Oh! Um hum!
Whoa! It's a little more expensive.
Anna, your sushi rolls.
Sarah's on delivery duty- good job!
Now Anna can eat!
One of them's for him.
She's getting ready.
Giving it a try...
The verdict. What is the verdict?
Whoa! It's for Daddy to try- ah!
That's a French fry! Oh my!
So Anna?
This is like crunchy!
It's crunchy?!
It's hard to eat. It's big chunks.
Most prefer big chunks and crunchy seaweed, but Anna does not.
Joshua doesn’t seem to mind.
How's the tuna roll, Dude?
Good?
Whoa momma chan!
So how's the shrimp there?
Oh, good! Good?
Look at this! This is called a French fry!
But this is crazy! It's like the whole potato was curled.
Can I try?
That's pretty good! Ah!
It's Daddy's. Sarah!
Sarah’s approach to new food is quite unique.
You smell it...
You look at it...
Then you tease it...
Then you bite it.
How is it Sarah? Good.
Oh, that's ours. That's daddy's!
Mozzarella, basil and salmon!
Oh my goodness!
Oh yum yum yum yum yum!
That's a red one. Yea.
Look at that!
Big French fry on a stick, what do you think?
Good.
It's good, huh?
But it's hard to eat.
Oh, and Momma chan got another... is that avacado, onion and shrimp?
Whoa!
Whoa, it falls apart.
I'm going to try the mozzarella and basil salmon.
That's really good!
This thing dings all the time!
This mozzarella basil salmon sushi is outstanding. I'm getting more!
Becca, did you eat all of those plates of food by yourself?
Yeah.
Look at how much she's eaten!
She just goes and hammers it down!
Kaiten sushi is perfect for our family because it’s inexpensive, quick and tasty.
For our large family, those are all important things.
Some families even make a game of how many plates they can stack up.
At Kurazushi you win a chance at a prize for every 5 plates you stack up.
Our family has no problem collecting plates.
Oh! One for Daddy, one for Mommy.
It's good, but it needs a little salt.
But it's really good. That mozzarella is good.
And what is this here? Avocado... Shrimp and tartar sauce.
Wow! Some good stuff here!
OK Rebecca, honestly, how did you like this place?
Good.
It's good. I just really like salmon, that's why.
I see, it's good salmon though. How about you Sarah?
What was your favorite here?
French fries.
The French fries!
Joshua, I saw you had a bunch of things...
He had salmon, he had sushi roll,
And lots of French fries and Karaage.
Wow Dude, where'd it all go?
Did Pikachu eat it all?
Yeah.
How about you Momma chan? What was your favorite?
The shrimp with avocado and onion I just love
And the shrimp with avocado and tartar sauce was very good too.
Wow.
And the shrimp tempura. Wow!
Although it was a little greasier than my other place.
A little greasier, isn't it? I think so.
And this right here was my favorite.
Oh! New favorite.
What here was your favorite that you had?
French fries and water.
That crazy-curly French fry or the normal ones?
The normal ones.
OK, everyone smile, I'm going to take a selfie.
Oh, selfie time!
So the plates have meanings, don't they?
The colors have meanings
They're different colors, they're different prices.
The yellow is? ¥130
The red is ¥190 and the black is ¥370
Well we have lots of yellow and lots of red here,
And Becca has a stack of yellow
So now Momma chan is organizing all the plates
We are going to see just what kind of damage we did here.
America has fast food, but Japan has Kaiten Sushi Restaurants.
Who's good at math? Me!
Alright.
130 times 15
190 times 8
That's 3470
¥4613
That's not too bad for all of us.
Having filled our stomachs with sushi,
we paid at the door without emptying our wallets and were on our way.
So the big question is how does it compare to our current favorite, which is Kurazushi?
Well, for me I think the sushi was better,
The karaage was definitely better, the fries maybe not as good.
At Kurazushi, everything comes out on a separate conveyor belt just for you when you're ordering something,
So that's really cool You don't have to pay attention.
You don't have to pay attention
And also you have the amazing game that you can play
Where you can put your old dishes into that slot
And when you put 5 dishes in you get to play the game and maybe win a prize.
That is also really cool.
Life in Japan, they want to know... What?
How did you like this like compared to Kurazushi?
Good.
If you could choose between this a Kurazushi, where would you go?
Kurazsuhi. Oh yea? Why's that?
Because... It's closer
It's kind of closer and when the computer makes a noise,
Like in the middle when you're eating,
You got to put your chopsticks down, you have to get the bowl
So that's really a constant bother
Yea, you had to get it, didn't you?
What about you Becca? Kurazushi.
Kurazushi, why?
Because like the video (game),
And the conveyor belt you can get anything from there and there's tons of options
And that when you order it, you don't need to be looking, it just comes and you get it.
I see.
If you could go to here or Kurazushi, where would you go?
Here. Here?
Oh, what did you like about here?
It says when your food is coming, it's really cool
You don't need to wait too much — the game and stuff — because it's really boring just waiting.
So you like that you don't have to play the game, huh?
Yea. You don't have to play the game at the other place
Anna is the one who least likes sushi in our family,
So Anna, if you had to choose between this and Kurazushi... Kurazushi.
Oh, why's that?
Because I don't like the sushi here.
She only eats sushi rolls... And the sushi rolls— not good
And you didn't like them as much as Kurazushi.
Alright.
Momma chan - how about you?
I like this place. I thought it was pretty good.
I didn't care to have to pay attention when my food was coming because we start talking and get distracted.
The food itself tasted very good
But it's a little pricier than Kurazushi so maybe the quality is better?
I think Kurazushi also went up in price though too.
Oh maybe, we haven't been there in awhile.
We'll have to go to Kurazushi again now and compare.
That's right.
