00:00:07.925 --> 00:00:09.825
this is Hiroshima dinner

8
00:00:09.825 --> 00:00:12.025
We've come to the city of Hiroshima now

9
00:00:12.025 --> 00:00:13.625
and actually Hiroshima is not

10
00:00:13.625 --> 00:00:14.975
that famous among people in our country

11
00:00:14.975 --> 00:00:16.175
Yes, I haven't heard much about it

12
00:00:16.175 --> 00:00:17.175
as a travel destination

13
00:00:17.175 --> 00:00:18.425
But actually, Hiroshima is

14
00:00:18.425 --> 00:00:20.225
said to be a very attractive place as a travel destination

15
00:00:20.225 --> 00:00:22.475
Also, this is the center of Hiroshia

16
00:00:22.475 --> 00:00:23.725
where everything Hiroshima can offer is

17
00:00:23.725 --> 00:00:25.325
We are near Hiroshima Station

18
00:00:25.325 --> 00:00:26.825
Most people would get on the Shinkansen

19
00:00:26.825 --> 00:00:28.575
from Fukuoka or

20
00:00:28.575 --> 00:00:30.325

21
00:00:30.325 --> 00:00:32.325
- to get here 
- Right

22
00:00:32.325 --> 00:00:33.624
So the Shinkansen station is also

23
00:00:33.624 --> 00:00:35.474
behind Hiroshima Station here

24
00:00:35.474 --> 00:00:37.424
Today, we plan to visit a famous sushi chain

25
00:00:37.424 --> 00:00:39.574
near Hiroshima Station

28
00:00:43.374 --> 00:00:45.124
only 4:33 PM

29
00:00:45.124 --> 00:00:46.774
that's why there aren't many people around

30
00:00:46.774 --> 00:00:48.424
It's a very early evening

31
00:00:50.574 --> 00:00:51.674
Similar to Hong Kong

32
00:00:51.674 --> 00:00:53.774
- there's a tablet here 
- Right

33
00:00:53.774 --> 00:00:55.324
so you can just order from here

34
00:00:55.324 --> 00:00:56.724
They also gave us an English menu

35
00:00:56.724 --> 00:00:58.074
Anyway, my strategy is

36
00:00:58.074 --> 00:00:59.174
to just choose what I want to eat

37
00:00:59.174 --> 00:01:01.124
by looking at the photos

38
00:01:01.124 --> 00:01:02.724
which seems to be the safest way

[Ordering]

40
00:01:05.374 --> 00:01:06.274
In Hong Kong, we go to

41
00:01:06.274 --> 00:01:07.824
many conveyor belt sushi places

42
00:01:07.824 --> 00:01:09.374
but it's my first time having conveyor belt sushi in Japan

43
00:01:09.374 --> 00:01:10.924
- So I'm really looking forward to it 
- Right

44
00:01:10.924 --> 00:01:12.674
As we speak, the first dish has arrived

45
00:01:12.674 --> 00:01:14.624
I watched a documentary in Hong Kong

46
00:01:14.624 --> 00:01:16.224
about a Japanese chef

47
00:01:16.224 --> 00:01:17.574
who handles sushi in Hong Kong

48
00:01:17.574 --> 00:01:19.724
and this is the number one menu item in Japan

49
00:01:19.724 --> 00:01:21.424
These small maki rolls

50
00:01:21.424 --> 00:01:22.074
Oh, really?

51
00:01:22.074 --> 00:01:24.224
But he doesn't understand why

52
00:01:24.224 --> 00:01:25.374
these aren't famous in Hong Kong

53
00:01:25.374 --> 00:01:26.824
The funny thing is, when we see it

54
00:01:26.824 --> 00:01:28.874
we wonder why such menu would be popular, right?

55
00:01:28.874 --> 00:01:30.524
But what's on top? Is that green onion?

56
00:01:30.524 --> 00:01:31.724
There are options with green onion,

57
00:01:31.724 --> 00:01:33.074
and options without green onion

58
00:01:33.074 --> 00:01:34.574
But I think if sushi is small

59
00:01:34.574 --> 00:01:36.724
you can really feel the texture when biting

60
00:01:36.724 --> 00:01:37.923
and the taste of the ingredients inside as well

61
00:01:37.923 --> 00:01:39.373
The taste would be harmonious

62
00:01:39.373 --> 00:01:40.823
so maybe that's why it's popular in Japan

63
00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:42.873
If you think about a conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Hong Kong

64
00:01:42.873 --> 00:01:44.973
it's natural for these high tables to have a train track

65
00:01:44.973 --> 00:01:46.373
Of course, there's a train track

66
00:01:46.373 --> 00:01:48.223
but having the track that goes all the way here

67
00:01:48.223 --> 00:01:49.323
- seems to be unique to this place 
- I see

- the set menu they have here 
- that's right

The funny thing is

74
00:02:00.123 --> 00:02:01.623
when you look at the sushi places in Hong Kong

for these sets

76
00:02:02.923 --> 00:02:03.873
they don’t usually give separate plates

77
00:02:03.873 --> 00:02:05.873

is a region very famous for eels

they give you a really small bowl

It's so big it won't fit in one bite

106
00:02:42.373 --> 00:02:43.973

And when you eat at a sushi place in Hong Kong

109
00:02:46.972 --> 00:02:48.422
the mackerel is always a bit fishy

110
00:02:48.422 --> 00:02:49.272
It's inevitable

111
00:02:49.272 --> 00:02:50.772

00:04:41.471 --> 00:04:42.021
Oh really?

189
00:04:42.021 --> 00:04:43.521
Do you think you could eat this again?

190
00:04:43.521 --> 00:04:44.321
Next time, maybe one

191
00:04:44.321 --> 00:04:45.921
one plate might be okay

192
00:04:45.921 --> 00:04:48.021
Does this just taste like raw beef?

193
00:04:48.021 --> 00:04:49.671
- Does it taste a bit like raw beef? 
- No, it's different

194
00:04:49.671 --> 00:04:50.571
It's quite different from raw beef

195
00:04:50.571 --> 00:04:51.721
It's just a little

196
00:04:51.721 --> 00:04:53.321
it seems to be meat with a strong mild taste

197
00:04:53.321 --> 00:04:54.370
But the interesting thing is

198
00:04:54.370 --> 00:04:55.870
It's 5:14 PM now

199
00:04:55.870 --> 00:04:57.720
It's not even dinner time yet

200
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.370
But it's almost full

201
00:04:59.370 --> 00:05:00.170
[Very Popular]

202
00:05:00.170 --> 00:05:01.570
As we have just finished eating, and we are leaving the place

203
00:05:01.570 --> 00:05:02.870
People are already waiting in line

204
00:05:02.870 --> 00:05:04.820
That's right, actually, the time now is

205
00:05:04.820 --> 00:05:06.520
Only 5:20 PM

206
00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:08.720
but there's already a line

207
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.620
Right now, the price we paid is

208
00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:11.420
[about 50,000 won]
5,380 yen

209
00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:13.120
which is quite reasonable for two people?

210
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:13.970
So, we will continue

211
00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:14.970
to find more delicious places

212
00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:17.070
and keep traveling in Hiroshima

213
00:05:17.070 --> 00:05:17.820
Bye-bye

Hong Ochan's Three-line Review 〈Sushi Tatsu Ekie〉

215
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.120
1. Japan, where even conveyor belt sushi is delicious

216
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.120
2. Horse meat sushi better than expected

217
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.120
3. A hot place at Hiroshima Station
