Here’s what happens when you set a video camera on a plate at a kaiten (conveyor belt) sushi restaurant in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, Japan. Really amazing and surprisingly plotty (worth the full 7:39): culture-keeping (and consuming) at its best. All it needs is the right retro-indie soundtrack and it would fit right into a Wes Anderson film “Kaiten (conveyor) sushi time in real Japan” by pastora911 (Youtube) :: via Boing Boing
