Burping Up Fish


misc/rosen_eOne evening, after Sarah and I returned from an excellent sushi dinner here in Tokyo, she made the comment that she was burping up fish. Sushi, more than any other food that I’ve found, seems the be the food that keeps on giving. Long after you’ve forgotten the meal, a nice piece of tuna will escape, and remind you with fishy goodness.

Right now, my stomach is stuffed with various species of seafood. In Shibuya, I’ve found a kaiten sushi place who’s approximately 40 seats are always packed. My sushi palate is not very developed, so I’m pretty much looking for good cheap sushi, and this place delivers. Each plate costs Â¥103 (about $1) for two pieces, and I can have a satisfying meal for $12-$15 (plus beer, if I get some), and because you don’t need to actually order anything, the language barrier poses no problems.

I’ve got the day off tomorrow, since I’m working the weekend. I’m planning on taking the Ginza line on the Tokyo Metro out to Ueno, which is on the other side of the Tokyo. I haven’t spent much time out at that end, so this will be new for me. It’s supposed to be rainy tomorrow, so I’ll grab an umbrella and snap some pictures.
