Sushi Boats!
You sit around the center and pull different sushi rolls off of the boats as they rotate by. Prices are marked based on the color of plate, so you will stack your plates and they will tally your bill at the end. You can also order specific rolls if you don't see what you want on the boats! So much fun! (Easy to walk by!)
