Sushi Surprise

Today Sara and Dai from Aberystwyth arrived in Kumamoto as part of their year round the world trip. It was crazy to see them after so long and ever weirder to hear Dai’s thick accent – it was such a reminder of Wales.

I had to go to work so they looked after themselves during the day and we went out at night. You might remember a few months ago I blogged about how my favourite sushi place had suddenly been knocked down. Tonight we went to see the new restaurant and we got a very pleasant surprise.
It had been totally revamped. Instead of writing your order on a piece of paper, every table had a touch-screen ordering system and the food was delivered to your table, not by a waiter, but by an automatic mini train that ran above the usual rotating belt.

Sara and Dai tried all kinds of weird and wonderful things (ones that I know better than to eat now) and I think they enjoyed it all. After dinner it was time to head home and talk about the good old days!
