The first I time tried a 100yen sushi shop (that's 100yen per small plate), I wasn't very impressed with the taste. Actually, I commented to a friend that the sushi from the supermarket (in Japan) is tastier and cheaper. Well, that particular sushi shop went out of business not long after. However my friend found a better 100yen sushi shop and decided to bring us there.
The sushi was quite good, yeah well not up to the top sushi shops standards, but much better than supermarket sushi, even the better supermarket sushi from the fish section. The catch is: of the best sushi you only get one piece per plate, and of the average sushi you get two pieces, so even at 100yen per plate it starts to add up! While I'm easy, Ritsuko was not amused with the automatic plate counter that had a flashy display and made loud noises every time you inserted the empty plates. Sometimes it even dispensed some plastic toys as prizes. The cliental was generally young families, and it kept their kids entertained as far as I could tell. Not a place to go for a romantic evening with the better half, but tasty none the less!
