We're at Genki Sushi!
We've been to a couple of sushi places
And this one is our favourite
It's a bit like a conveyor belt sushi restaurant
But you order on a touchscreen
And the food comes along on a sushi train to you
It's got a really good selection
We're here for lunch at the moment
In the evenings it gets a lot busier
Sometimes you have to wait a bit for a table
Especially at the weekend
So go on a weekday if you can
I did do a video about Genki Sushi before
Last year
But it's slightly different now
And I've got a better camera now
So I can get some better quality footage for you
You make your order on a touchscreen
It's all in English as well as Japanese so it's really easy to use
There's nigiri, gunkan
Maki rolls and inari sushi
Sides
Desserts
Drinks
And the recommended section -
*Japanese*
Food on the way!
"Your order will arrive shortly"
Wow
"Please press the blinking button"
You press the button to send the train back
Look through the recommended section
Because there are some items in that section
That aren't in the other categories
I'm going to go for-
An inari
I'll try the two coloured inari
You can see there:
Number 1, and you're allowed to order 3 items in one go
I'm going to get a...
Kanpyo roll
Do you want to order something Phil?
Can you get me a...
Yellowtail please
So that'll be in the nigiri...
Good!
So we've got our 3 items
And you press "Order"
Place order
There's cups up here
Plates for your soy sauce
And there's red pepper
And salt
And takeaway boxes
If you can't eat it all
On the table there's ginger
Forks?
Little forks in there
And spoons in that one
Chopsticks, serviettes
Soy sauce
Packets of wasabi
And what's that one?
Is that yuzu?
I don't really know
That!
That's your wasabi
Here's the green tea
Cups are up here
"Your order will arrive shortly"
Yay, edamame!
And hot water's on the table
Look at these ones - there's hamburger
And cheese hamburger
And ribs nigiri
What have you got there?
Amberjack
Bonito
And tuna
That one looks kind of see-through!
I kind of want to try the hamburger one
I know it's really disappointing, but
I looked at it and thought, should I?
When else are you going to get a chance?
Yeah, I might do it
I've got cheese on my chopsticks now
How is the hamburger nigiri?
I want to be kind
But it's not the best burger I've ever had
Ollie said it's like school dinner hamburger
It's cheap
Maybe there's a reason they don't put hamburgers on nigiri usually!
It's worth a try
What have we got?
That is Hokkaido saury
And that is freshly prepared amberjack
That's yellowtail actually
Oh it might be
Couldn't remember what I clicked on
This one's good - corn with mayo
Here's mine!
Stacking up the plates!
It's actually pretty cheap
Especially compared to UK sushi prices
A lot of the meals are 129 yen
Which is the yellow plates
Which as you can see
Is mostly what we've eaten
The most expensive one
Is 507 yen
But most are 129
It's 12:30 on a Friday
And a few other people are starting to come in now
It's way busier than this in the evening
When it's busy
If you see lots of people standing round outside
Just go in and they've got a clipboard
Where you can put your name
And the number of people
Then they come out and call you in when your table's ready
The bill came to 4000 yen for 4 people
And you can see how much we ate
That included 1 beer and 1 shochu grapefruit drink
So it's actually really good value
Especially compared to sushi prices in the UK
It might not be the best, top quality restaurant sushi
But out of all the small, conveyor belt style sushi places we've tried here in Tokyo
It's our favourite
It's in Shibuya
Just a short walk from the station
And Shibuya 109
I'll put a link in the description
With the map
