Tsubu gai in the flesh...

The second night of the homestay near SOKENDAI, my hosts took me to a sushi-conveyer belt restaurant. Sugoi! I was quite unfamiliar with the menu, however I was excited (?) to see that it included my study organism, the mighty whelk. The first picture is of the menu, the second is of tsubu gai sashima, the next is my host Tomoki-san about to enjoy it, and finally the sushi belt in all its glory.
