Ultimately, we found an un-brie-lievably cheesy hidden gem at a lesser well-known revolving sushi chain.
Kura Sushi
22 teams gather, but only one can walk away with the title of best Kura Sushi chefs in the world.
Kura Sushi shows up at the world’s fair with food from around the globe that it sends around the restaurant.
Fish, noodles, and heresy are all on the table as our panel of hngry reporters puts together 10 different meals for 1,000 yen or less.
Pulling the fish off your sushi and swirling it around in your miso soup would get you some harsh looks in a lot of restaurants, but apparently not at this conveyor belt sushi chain.
We head to the popular revolving sushi chain, and something very attention-grabbing heads to our table.
Gorgeous features make this more like an Edo theme park than a conveyor belt sushi restaurant.
It’s almost like the New Year already wanted to give him the cold shoulder…or rather, a cold fish cake.
