On our last day in kyoto, we had little plans but we ended up sighseeing more than planned and I am glad we did.
We started the day with some work (we do need to work a bit) and then headed out to lunch to a shushi conveyor belt place. They are not famous for amazing sushi but they are cheap (137 yen per plate =$1.7 for 2 nigiri sushi or a small roll), they are fun and more importantly : no need to talk Japanese to pick up a plate from a belt! YEAH!
the place is called masushi and did not look that great when we came in.. A bunch of dried up weird sushi (like mushroom or clams on rice) and then some plates with photos on them..confusing!
Turns out they had a menu and to make sure you got what you wanted, they just took orders.. it was easier than planned, they had english and english phonetic under everything, and it was REALLY GOOD!
we had the best tuna and salmon sushi nigiri ever. But also the best cooked eel sushi (nothing like what you get in the us) It was great fun and we ended up paying about $25 for 14 plates and lunch for two. (that is about 30 pieces of nigiri sushi fyi.. :).)
Then we proceeded to grab some frozen hawaiian yogurt across the road (for the good bacteria ya know... ) and went to visit the golden pavillion... It is a pavillion that is litteraly made of gold, well at least the two top floors.. right on the water, in the traditional japanes way. It was amazing to see, especially since it is right in the city.
