That's true about a different name. I tried some sushi before that had squid in the middle and I didn't care for it. I wonder if at these smaller places if it's more about the care and prepration of the food? There's this great fast food Chinese place I go to here in my town that is very cheap ($12 for a meal) and their food is always so good and they give you SO much. So I totally agree about the cheaper places. :) There's just something special about them. :)
I tried a natto roll one time... If you're unfamiliar, natto is fermented soybeans. Both the taste and the texture take some getting used to... Anyway, I tried a natto roll without knowing what it was. Not fun.
There is more personal attention at the smaller places, and there's often fresher ingredients too. Little places don't have the same kind of bulk contracts that the big places do, so they have to buy locally. It all makes for some outstanding dining if you can find them. :)
I like the computer thing. That's pretty neat. Do they have California rolls in Japan? I LOVE them. What's your favorite sushi? Seems like a great place for a good price. That's what I've noticed with Japan is even the "cheap" places are just as nice as the expensive places. Only difference is the pricing.
I haven't seen California rolls yet, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. They might also be called something different.
Personally, my favorite is maguro (tuna). But I like a lot of different kinds.
And yeah, that's a good point about the prices. Some of the best food I've had in Japan has been from tiny little restaurants where the food is super-cheap.
Oh and also I've heard it's really easy to live cheap in Japan. Is that true too? Is that why there's so many different vending machines with different stuff in them? Oh and you're welcome for the comment! :D
I think a lot of that depends on where you live. I live in the country, and yes, it's easy to live cheap here. But it can get expensive in the cities. Tokyo, I'm told, is particularly bad about that.
I see Pipluuup!!!XDDD
