As good as dinner at Kappazushi was last evening for us, we were again determined to find that elusive Musashi sushi<\/a> restaurant. After all, if it’s rated #7 of 768 restaurants in Kyoto according to Tripadvisor, it must be really good! We knew that this restaurant was roughly in the same vicinity as Kappazushi, i.e. in the Kawaramachi area. So, after our exploration of the Arashimaya, we headed back near to the Karasuma\/Kawaramachi area to look for this elusive restaurant.<\/p>\n

And we did find it without too much difficulty after all! In fact, this restaurant is less than 20 meters away from Kappazushi LOL. We went in at about 11:00 AM where there still wasn’t much of a crowd, and by the time we’d walked out with full tummies, the place was packed. The restaurant charges a flat 137\u5186 per plate – more expensive than the 105\u5186 its competitor was charging yesterday. But the sushi was distinctly better tasting.<\/p>\n

The front of Musashi. It lies along the intersection at Sanjo dori and Kawaramachi dori. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There was a kindly old chef on the second floor where we were seated dishing out customized orders. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We asked for the English menu and got it.:)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From top and clockwise; salmon with mayo and onion, crab mayo salad, and crab stick roll something LOL. All super yummy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The conveyor belt. No Shinkansen train to bring us the order though; but they were handed to us by the chef himself.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Downstairs. Practically like a eating factory there! As Ling said; this was the more 'happening' floor, while upstairs was more peaceful. Those guys seating behind are waiting for free seats.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We makan-ed 15 plates – compared to 12 of yesterday LOL – for a total bill of 2,050\u5186. More expensive than Kappazushi, but still relatively cheap compared to places like Sakae Sushi, and significantly better tasting too. Ling was joking that our Missouri bud Matt would go absolutely berserk in this restaurant.:)<\/p>\n

Our rating is a solid \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\" and very close to five stars!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
