回転寿司 (Kaiten-Zushi)
On Tuesday night, Kate and I descended upon our nation’s capital to attend the 20th Anniversary Tour concert that Billy Corgan was putting on for what’s left of the Smashing Pumpkins (read: basically everyone has left except Billy Corgan and he may only be there bodily.) The show was rather “interesting” in a “let’s see what Billy will throw against a drum next” kind of way. He did make his band play the Watchmen trailer version of “The Beginning is the End is the Beginning,” which was probably worth the ticket cost right there.
What’s more interesting than the show was our location and restaurant opportunities it provided. Because Tuesday was a national holiday, I was able to park us right at 17th St. and C, basically on top of the DAR Constitution Hall. From there, it was a short walk to Wasabi, a Japanese restaurant – with sushi on a conveyor belt. I think it’s been since high school when I saw an Alanis Morissette video featuring conveyor belt sushi – or Kaiten – that I’ve wanted to try this. And I was not in the least bit disappointed.
We did discover something: our taste in sushi is expensive. We racked up a $43 bill in only 15 minutes by unconsciously choosing the most pricey items (denoted by plate color.) Oops!
