Primeval Sushi

A while back I was talking with a friend about the potential Amsterdam has for drinking and eating places, and that there are places that I really loved in London that we really could do with in this city too. I was out and about this weekend and discovered a place I'd normally overlook as it's surrounded by touristy cafes and coffeeshops. It's a sushi bar called Zushi and reminds me of Yo Sushi, but less like a chain restaurant. I was just happy to find a decent, and not so expensive sushi bar in Amsterdam. Plus it has a revolving band, which I just love. Being able to grab the nicest looking plastic dish off the band has a sort of primeval feel, reminiscent of having your eye on your prey as it comes round and then pouncing on it before it gets electronically whisked off. That and the fact that you have to get the good stuff before the people next to you do. There's no room for indecisiveness in a sushi bar.

Fact: It takes 2 mins 19 seconds for the food to go round 1 time.
