Point 100 Yen Sushi

Japan, the land of sushi and sushi conveyor belts, as well as the 100 Yen store (compare to Dollar General), is also apparently the land of 100 Yen sushi. 100 Yen per plate, every plate!If you've ever eaten sushi in the States, you are likely aware that it is a little costly. A plate of two pieces of fish over rice (Nigiri sushi) generally goes for about 180-500 Yen, depending on the fish. Many conveyor belt stores have different colored plates that represent different prices, which you stack until finished, and then a waitress will count up the total.Some enterprising nihonjin found a more efficient way to put the sushi together and collect the plates in such a way that they're able to serve up high quality sushi at a deep discount. Yes, the atmosphere is more casual than even a standard conveyor belt sushi joint, but the prices make it a place you can visit often without breaking the bank.My wife and I generally prefer the salmon there, and I've also found the bintoro (Albacore tuna) to be especially delicious. Tamago, the omelet sushi, is very good too. The only small complaint I have is that the touch screen is in Japanese (well, duh!) so it might take a little time to figure out if you are like me and don't know very much. However, there is a picture menu that you can try to use to line up the katakana and hiragana characters, and if that fails, you can just take sushi from the belt and enjoy.One thing that is very good to know: the red bowls with sushi on them (as pictured above) have been ordered by somebody, so don't take those. If you order some sushi your menu screen will ding before the bowl arrives at your table so you know that it is yours (and you don't forget about it). All plates are put in a slot at the table and every fifth plate you buy will yield you a shot at winning a capsule toy. We've won two so far and eaten about 60 plates of sushi in three trips.To find Point, you need to go south on 16 past the Naval base's main gate and continue on the sea side part of the road past Ave and Hom. You will find Point a couple kilometers past Ave. If you see PC Depot you've just gone too far.One more great thing about this place: free parking! In Japan! Yes, it does exist!


Salmon, highly recommended.
Toro, this was actually 200 Yen...but totally worth it.
