Sushi, Karato Ichiba Fish Market, Shimonoseki

September 13, 2008
First sushi meal of the trip, comes 2 weeks into being in Japan. This was a decent meal, in Shimonseki, the place where Fugu (blowfish, made famous on the Simpsons) is most popular. This restaurant was a Kaiten sushi place, with a conveyer belt bringing sushi goodness past your seat. Also the option to ask the chefs for an order directly.

The meal was a bit difficult, given that there was no English, and I was running a little low on cash, but I managed. Kept it to just under 2000 yen, but didn't get completely full. The three shown here are (in order) whale, uni, and fugu. Whale was blubbery, uni was a tad sweet, and the fugu was tough. I don't think I experienced the best fugu there was to offer, unfortunately.
