With the Tokyo area's first winter gust of wind announced and the first snow on Mt. Fuji, winter is finally showing its face these days.
Speaking of winter, it's the season for delicious seafood, isn't it?
Conveyor belt sushi restaurant "Sushiro," which has been serving sushi to people for over 40 years since 1984, began selling new limited-time menu items on Wednesday, November 13, 2024!
In addition, they announced a new collaboration with "Puppet Sunsun."
Tuna! Sea Urchin! Scallops!
Fujii Yodan (@MTNRFG) was invited to the pre-tasting event.
He tries his hand at a food review for the first time in his life.
First up is the featured item, which went on sale on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.
It's the "Large Serving Negitoro Gunkan."
Fujii Yodan said he doesn't usually come to conveyor belt sushi restaurants much.
When asked why, he replied, "Because I'm a stude...unemployed."
Don't worry. At Sushiro, you can eat sushi starting from 100 yen (tax included)!
I felt the reassuring taste of a classic.
I could taste the sweetness of the tuna, and it was satisfyingly voluminous!
It's incredibly generous that you can enjoy this for just 100 yen (tax included) or more.

- Price: From 100 yen (tax included)

Next up is "Rich Sea Urchin Wrap."
We Tsutsumi the shari, generously topped with sea urchin, in seaweed.
I felt a sense of luxury in the "Tsutsumi" style.
When I took a bite, my mouth was filled with the aroma of the ocean.
It's a luxury for the unemployed, so I'd love to eat it again once I'm employed.

Next is "Tempura Crab Meat Nigiri."
It's a satisfying volume with two pieces of crab fried in-store.
The freshly fried crab meat was crispy and fluffy, and I enjoyed the texture.
I think it's perfect as a dish to intersperse between raw items like tuna and salmon.

Among sushi toppings, I especially like shellfish and always eat them.
That's why I know, "It's too big..."
The plump texture and the sweetness of the scallop make me feel happy.
I wondered if it was okay to be this happy while being unemployed, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Fujii Yodan muttered, "Too bad... I can't make YNU..." for some reason, but what does that mean?
This menu is too luxurious to eat in one bite.
I realized the value of the Tsutsumi for the first time.
To be able to casually eat this at Sushiro... Thank you, Sushiro!
