Dinner tonight? Sushi, of course! I went to one of Sapporo's hot spots for sushi, a kaiten (conveyor-belt) restaurant in the big mall above the train station downtown. I'm not kidding about the "big mall" part- nine floors! The sixth floor was just restaurants, and even though I didn't know exactly where to find this particular place that everyone had recommended, the long line outside gave it away. People in Japan seem to have a limitless capacity for patience when it comes to good food... the length of the line tends to be a good indicator of restaurant quality. After maybe 45 minutes or an hour of waiting, we finally got seats at the counter. Definitely worth the wait, and the fish was all very fresh and reasonably priced, too!
Salmon and its accompanying roe (ikura) seemed to be the house specialty, though I finished up with some excellent unagi. Totally satisfying meal, all for 2362 yen (just under $25)- you'd never be able to get such good sushi for that kind of money in the US. (tea was included, too)
