Ah .. Japan, Japan, always so full of surprises around every corner... to a Westerner who, just as I had few or almost no travel abroad of my native country, Japan seems that it comes out of a "fantasy book", hidden in our imagination, there is so much good surprises that we can expect and there is so much to explore... the worst of this... well let's say that it is the lack of time we might have in the territory (two weeks seems only like two days)... and the money that one is also is not enough for so many explorations!
I meet out with one of those "little explorations" of the Rising Sun at the sushi food chain restaurants named Kura-Zushi. Naturally, this one it has to do with food because our "stomachs" also like to know new and different things.
The "Kura" is a restaurant known for its technology and for having the minimum staff at work, but with an impressive efficiency, to add to that we can have some fun where we can play with the dishes we consume. Every five dishes we can play in a kind of jackpot game, and for every twenty dishes we receive a reward from a toy vending machine (Gacha Gacha), a plastic ball containing a small gift, turns out to be fun, but In a sad way it encourages the customers to invest a few more yen in that little plate, to try once again and again!
The "Kura-Zushi" opened its first restaurant in 1984 and more than 331 restaurants after, is still in full growth. But in comparison to other sushi chains, it stands out when it comes to all its technology from the dishes that circulate on the conveyors to the electronic panels where we can choose and order at the time what we want to eat, from soups, desserts and naturally to the much-desired sushi, the treadmills deliver us almost at a "sonic" speed what we ordered, making the experience even more fun.
