Why did the kid (and the person filming the video) think it's OK do these disgusting things at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant? I hope they get some serious punishment. #Sushiro #kaitenzushi #sushi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8CYeGfiNRU

"Nov. 22 is Kaiten-zushi Day 🍣, celebrating the unique sushi system that turned raw seafood around! . . . SHIRAISHI Yoshiaki drew inspiration from a beer factory conveyor belt; . . . the first “kaiten-zushi” restaurant opened . . . in 1958. By introducing low-cost, set prices per plate with efficient sushi delivery, [he] helped make this once-gourmet indulgence affordable. Now an iconic part of Japanese food culture, conveyor belt sushi is also popular overseas."
