He's making up a Plan B, possibly setting up these condiments on the counters in front of diners. Plan B works better for me anyway, because some people tend to hog the wasabi. BY an accident of timing, I was lucky enough to be seated in front of the chef, so I had a personal guide to the items floating by. Those who sit at the far end of the conveyor have, really, last choice. There are plenty of seats late in the evening, but selections tend to be sparse when fewer people are in the eatery.
Pricing is reasonable and done via plate color.
This grouping included a spicy seafood salad of fresh chopped shrimp. These tend to be mushy looking, but are tasty and deliver a pleasant zing to your tongue. Watching everyone else's plates pile up, it seems the magic number is 14 plates per two people. I watched one little girl polish off seven plates. As if you need reminding, the restaurant offers a most fun and excellent adventure for kids of all ages.
