50-cent sushi added to one of Japan’s favorite sushi chains, perfect for newbies, variety-lovers

Eating sushi in Japan is about to get even more awesome.

So this really shouldn't come as much of a surprise, but the sushi is awesome in Japan. But in my humble (and humble-salaried) opinion, the real glory of being a sushi fan in the dish's home country isn't the rarefied seafood served in exclusive dining establishments, but the unexpectedly high quality of sushi even on the lower end of the price range. You don't need a lot of cash to score scrumptious sushi in Japan. As a matter of fact, if you're heading to a branch of sushi chain Kappa Sushi, all you'll need is 50 yen (US$0.45) in your pocket. Kappa Sushi is one of Japan's most popular kaitenzushi, or conveyor belt sushi, outfits. It's already an incredibly affordable way to get your sushi fix, with a wide selection of sushi priced at just 100 yen for a two-piece plate. The chain has announced, though, that soon it'll be offering single-piece orders of sushi for just 50 yen.
