kaiten umai sushikan

torch-seared 3-piece nigiri set. 575 yen. (check out the different textures!)

Edit: kaiten is sushi that goes round on a revolving belt, pretty much like luggage at the airport. If you're from the states, you're probably familiar with "sushi boat," but I was shocked to discover that no one actually sends sushi on boats floating on a moat around the chefs here. Is that just a weird western adaptation?

Anyway. The top was beni-toro (salmon), the middle was O-toro (top quality tuna), and the bottom was buri-toro (Japanese amberjack, apparently). -toro means the fatty belly cut of the fish. Top and middle were great, the buri was meh.
