I love Japanese food especially in Japan.
What I find amazing is the vending machines for the restaurants. Insert your money into the vending machine, pick what you want, and out comes a ticket. You give your ticket to the people behind the counter and wait. They serve it to you really fast. Do they have a name for this style of service?
It's really helpful that the restaurants have the models of the food and the menu outside so you can see what looks good to eat. I heard they are expensive to make. Is that true?
A couple of friends and I passed by a yakitori stand in Yokosuka. There was a machine that held the sticks and it goes round and round, you pick it up and you just start eating. You put your finished sticks in an empty container then you give the container to the hostess, she counts then tells you how much you have to pay. I only saw this in Yokosuka, are there any other places like this?
