    A Local Way to Enjoy Sushi(寿司) in Japan

    Hello! My name is Kimura. Today, I would like to talk about sushi in Japan. Speaking of sushi, there are many high-end sushi restaurants in the Ginza area of Tokyo. But that is not all sushi.

    There is cheap, good, popular sushi for the masses in Tokyo. Sometimes I enjoy drinking sake or beer with my friends while eating sushi or sashimi. It is fresh and tasty, and there are many different kinds of sushi to choose from.

    Of course, there is also kaitenzushi(回転寿司). Kaitenzushi is a system in which you take sushi from a plate on a conveyor belt and eat it by yourself. Conveyor-belt sushi is popular among families and couples because it is inexpensive and easy to enjoy sushi. I sometimes go to a kaiten-zushi restaurant myself. I am happy to be able to eat what I like and as much as I like.

    There are also various types of sushi that you can buy at supermarkets and eat at home. For example, chirashi-zushi is sushi with slices of fish, eggs, etc. scattered on top of vinegared rice. It is often made for celebrations and parties. I have also made chirashizushi at home. It is easy and delicious.

    Other types of sushi include makizushi and oshizushi. Rolled sushi is made by wrapping sushi rice and ingredients in nori (seaweed). These sushi can be bought at supermarkets and eaten at home. I often buy sushi rolls to go home.

    The conclusion is as follows. I do not often eat high-end sushi. I often buy reasonably priced sushi at Edomae Sushi or at supermarkets. I think there are many Japanese people who feel the same way I do. Sushi in Japan is not only high-class, but there are many ways to enjoy it. I encourage all foreign travelers to try local Japanese sushi!
