We're in Shibuya at Genki Sushi
Which is a kaiten conveyor belt sushi restaurant with a difference!
You place your order on a touchscreen
Which is also in English, so it's really easy
And a little train on the conveyor belt brings your order right to you
It's really cool
And the sushi's really good, and really good value.
Because it's so popular, we're having to wait for a table
You go in, put your name on a list, and they come out and call you in when your table's ready
You order what you want on the touchscreen here
Everyone has one each.
I'm going to get some edamame first.
One please.
You can order three items in one go.
And there are a few items for vegetarians
Natto roll - not for me!
I'm going to go for the cucumber - kappa roll
One
And an inari nigiri
One
So there's my three items
You press order...
And then we wait for them to arrive.
Wow, that was quick!
Phil's has arrived already.
There's also free green tea
I'm going to have some.
Here's the powdered tea
And the hot water's right here on the table
Let's try the other one!
That's better!
We could be here for a while....
Sweetcorn and mayo gunkan roll
Never seen sweetcorn in sushi before.
Look at this one!
Spicy seafood.
That's a big roll!
It is!
I've also got plum wine, which is really sweet
And of course edamame
You can't have sushi without edamame
Inari sushi
I got the sweetcorn roll again, because that was nice
And the classic kappamaki
When you've ordered enough, a game comes up on the screen
When we came here the other night, Phil got the game 3 times
And failed every time!
Phil's got the game!
And his edamame's here!
[disappointment]
What's this one?
Tuna and albercore tuna
I don't really know what the difference is
They both taste good.
And over there - just a bit of salmon
Phil's got the game again!
[dissapointment]
They win again! 5th time!
Yellowtail and medium fatty tuna
I don't know if you can hear but there's also some pretty fantastic midi tunes as the background music
At the moment it's Paint it Black.
Ah, it's for me!
This is the 6th time!
I haven't had it at all!
6th time - scissors
Come on...
You've got to win this time...
[disappointment]
I don't think you can win
It's impossible
A particular highlight of the menu is the hamburger nigiri
Which you can have with cheese or with no sauce
Yum...
Why didn't you order that Phil?
Do you really want a hamburger nigiri?
I'm not sure.
I kind of want it.... but no.
I got the game!
I'm going to pick rock
Come on...
You won!
Yes!
I win!
Get gift
Now receiving the gift...
Staff will bring you a gift
They've given me this voucher
To collect something at the end
Phil' ordered an ice cream for pudding
And it's got cornflakes in the bottom
I think the cornflakes thing must be fairly normal
Because we had an ice cream the other day
I can't remember where...
It was at the maid cafe
And that had cornflakes in it aswell
But I don't remember it ever before...
No...
Maybe we didn't have enough ice cream!
We've both eaten loads of sushi
We had 15 plates between us
Aswell as two beers
And the bill came to...
3600 yen
Which at the moment is about £19
Which is unbelievable value
To give you an idea, most dishes were about 129 yen
Which is less than £1
It's about 80 pence
Whereas at home in the UK they'd be about £3 or £3.50
And it was all really good quality
And fresh, and tasted really good
But more importantly, I took my voucher up to the counter at the end
They said I could have a 10% off voucher for next time
Or the Mystery Box
So I picked the Mystery Box!
And I got a Genki Sushi gacha!
And inside...
It's got a keyring!
I got... the salmon nigiri!
There's the full range of keyrings
[music]
We got the CD from the band we saw playing
I their name is Gekko
And they signed it for us as well
What happened?
I don't know where my ticket is!
Every day
I think I might actually have lost it
Found it! It was in my purse...
We're back in Shinjuku
Why?
So we can go and find some more arcades
Why?
To attempt to win things and fail!
We just did purikura
It was so funny
They give you loads of options, most of which we didn't understand because they were in Japanese
And then it gives you poses to follow
And here's our photo!
I think you'll agree, we look fantastic!
The one we did was called Usagi
"Fluffy and cute like a rabbit"
It's so funny how it does the beauty eye enlargement on the men as well!
