Through the eyes of 寿司...

Well, this is obviously a filler post, but I think it's interesting, anyway! Someone put a camera on a 回転寿司 (kaitenzushi) conveyor belt and filmed its trip.

THIS IS WHAT A SUSHI ROLL SEES BEFORE IT DIES.

Now, a little about kaitenzushi...


Kaitenzushi is a sushi restaurant where the sushi is served on a conveyor belt; it's not a specific type of sushi like nigirizushi or makizushi. The conveyor belt takes the sushi throughout the restaurant so people can pick up whichever sushi they please. It's generally cheaper quality but you get a good variety of things to try, and you typically pay per plate. It is super-super-popular in Japan.

Other terms for kaitenzushi: kurukuru sushi, or sushi-go-round.
