Today was an ARI holiday so we walked into Nishinasuno for shopping, lunch, and solid WiFi. Mission accomplished on all fronts.

For lunch we went sushi. About a month ago we had our auto-pizza adventure, and today it was auto-sushi. It was the same process: check in at a kiosk for our table assignment, order from a tablet, and self-pay at another kiosk. The only brief human interaction was the person who brought our beer. Here the food was delivered by carts on tracks that whizzed by your table. Our first item, tuna was delivered by a Shinkansen, while another table’s order went by on another track in a race car.
