After our visit to Mizutani on our previous
trip, I was tempted to try out another high-end sushi place but in the end, the
need for value won out; besides, it would have been stressful to eat at the
likes of Jiro or Kyubei anyway.
An early check-in allowed us to dump our
bags at the hotel and we were able to pop out for lunch but not before checking
in with the conceige to find somewhere locals go to for sushi. Common sense
kind of told us that local don’t exactly patronise Kyubey without good reason
or a corporate account to bank on.
He pointed us in the direction of Numazukou
(沼津港), which was located at basement two of a
nondescript building. I was incredibly sceptical on our way down the quiet
dated building when suddenly, a busy kaiten sushi restaurant popped out of
nowehere like a pool of spring water in a desert.
We came, we ate, we conquered the belt –
well, almost.
Not being sushi snobs meant we could eat to
our hearts' content without thinking about what to say to impress guests at the
next dinner party.
I would be lying if I said we didn’t think
of heading back again.
