Sushi Go round - Hamazushi

I'm going to be honest, I don't like sushi.  I don't like fish, or shrimp, or anything from the sea really.   I know we are in Japan, the land of sushi, but I have tried it several times and just don't like it.  So, when a new sushi place popped up along highway 58, it didn't interest me in the slightest....except that EVERY single time we drove by it, no matter what time of the day, the place was packed!  It must be good right, if it's always busy.  Plus, we had heard several good reviews from friends and Brandon went there for lunch one day and convinced me to try it.  I'm so glad we did!

There are a couple of different ways to do this, you can pick up sushi that's riding by on the conveyor belt, or you can use the touch scree and order it.  We did a combination of both.  We tried several things, including egg salad rolls (egg salad on top of rice, wrapped in nori (seaweed)), udon soup my favorite of the day), fried sweet potatoes covered in honey and sesame seeds ( would have been better hot, but they were cold and weren't awesome), Brock had an egg casserole (he gave it a thumbs down),  we also had the best french fries ever, and edamame, plus Brandon got whatever sushi he likes. 

The sign on this sushi going by is raw octopus and shrimp.

Mochi with bean paste, I think.  These are ok, they are sort of tasteless, but the have a neat texture.  

Reagan with 2 chocolate cakes...we had to try them both.  That's the bad thing about a touch screen ordering system and 105Yen plates.   So, at the end of your meal, the waitress comes around and counts your plates.  Most of the sushi is 105 Yen a plate, and the other things very, but most are under 300 yen or $3.00.  It was a fun experience, I would order more udon and french fries next time, but we will definitely be back.  It was a very fun lunch.
