Hi, I’m Randall, and tonight, I’m visiting a restaurant called Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, uh, and it’s . . . in Japanese, it’s called kaiten sushi, one of my favorite types of foods to eat. And basically, the sushi is served on a conveyor belt that goes round and round, and you select the type of food that you want. The type of sushi of course that they might have . . .  are yellow tail, salmon, tuna, octopus, squid. My favorite is tuna.

And uh, basically, you select, uh, sushi. Every sushi plate is, uh, $2.69, I think. They have additional menu items. And this particular place is open, uh, I think, Monday, or Sunday through Thursday, until 9:30 p.m. And Friday and Saturday night is . . .uh, it’s open until 10:00 p.m. So, I’m looking forward to enjoying some really good sushi tonight.
