Michael,
I will definitely ask for ebi fry nigiri next time we go. :)

No idea, it was probably one of the sushi chefs who were struck by a sudden strain of creativity… I was just looking dead ahead at the plates passing by me on the conveyor belt when The Tamago Man appeared :)

I thoroughly recommend the Ebi Fry Nigiri! Me and my partner used to take pride in ordering it because it wasn’t on the menu. Others would see what we were eating and tell the chef, “Can I have what they’re having?” Haha!

*Sigh* I think it will be at least the end of the year before I will be able to take a vacation back to Perth, if not for anything else, for Jaws!

C,
Hahahaha!

kat,
Heh, all the items we ate are the ones pictured. Mainly red and brown dishes as it turned out.

Chubbypanda,
It was fun! Fun to choose and fun to eat.

Brenda,
Ahhhh gunkan = gunship. I didn’t know that. Thank you for sharing your Japanese knowledge! :)

The Home Cook,
Well, if you ever make it over here you’ll just have to put Jaws Kaiten Sushi on your list of places to visit :-P I don’t care for tuna salad sandwiches or tuna sushi! But yeah, the mashed potato salad sushi is surprisingly delicious.

Michael,
Oh yeah ebi fry nigiri would be something I’d like, definitely! :) Cool photos! So who made that unique tamago nigiri?

Brenda,
Yep, squid is ok – though I have a very low tolerance for even a hint of rubberiness. I’ve always liked the look of rice balls – I think I’ve seen them in various Japanese cartoons. Wonder why they don’t really sell them in Japanese restaurants in Aust.

tuna salad doesn’t seem to be common in tokyo sushi bars, but some of the most popular onigiri (rice balls) in japan are filled with “tsuna-mayo” (tuna salad made with canned tuna and, yes, mayo)! And a popular bento item is potato salad so–

and i’m with you on the octopus–can’t stomach it. (squid is fine, however…)

Here’s a picture I took of the Ebi Fry Nigiri if that helps:

And here’s a unique one-off Tamago Nigiri I spotted at Jaws once, never to be seen again!

Jaws! Only my favourite sushi joint ever… What a pity I’m no longer in Perth, Jaws has been a weekly haunt for me for the 6 years I lived in Perth.

This is not on the menu but next time you’re there, ask for their Ebi Fry Nigiri :) I guarantee you’ll love it.

I am so jealous of everyone who has tried conveyer belt sushi. I would love to do this, but I’ve never heard of a place near me that does it.

I have to say, I find some of the stuff they put in sushi over there in Australia slightly humorous. I’ve never seen tuna prepared that way (like a tuna salad sandwich). And mashed potato sushi!? It all looks yummy, though!

Yes, very Australian choices!

I think the octopus is “takoyaki” (tako=octopus) and the “ghunkan” is “gunkan” (perhaps from the Japanese for “gunship” because of the shape of the sushi)!

I can’t believe you have kaiten sushi!! YUM! Seems expensive in Oz tho’–in Tokyo, it’s 100-120 yen per plate (about .80-1.00 USD) for the least expensive plates…

What fun! The sushi selections are very Austrialian.
