超大食漢
Arrival in Sapporo the next morning. As usual, it's breakfast with the delicious seafood of Hokkaido, but after exploring the Nijo Market and the surrounding outdoor markets to a certain extent, all that's left are the overpriced tourist-targeted sushi restaurants that rival Tsukiji, so I decided to visit this local revolving sushi chain that seems to be popular among locals, after patiently waiting until their opening at 11 am. I sat down and immediately started using the touch panel. I ordered the steamed egg custard and soup that had a note saying it would take a little longer to prepare. Then, I carefully considered my main sushi order while referring to the recommended and limited menu items on the table. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed that there were also "Nagasaki-produced" and "Kagoshima-produced" items, which were traps for me as I was looking for Hokkaido-produced items. I carefully selected my menu items while avoiding these traps. There was even something called "Funka Bay-produced". I thought I was good at geography, but I had never heard of Funka Bay. I quickly searched the net while operating the tablet, realizing that the operation of this chain's tablet ordering system was extremely poor compared to other chains I had used before. The lack of proper categorization, inconsistent design and layout, and overall difficulty in use made it a struggle. As I was struggling with the tablet, the steamed egg custard and soup were served. Exhausted, I finally placed my order. After ordering, I double-checked my order, but while I could confirm the order, the prices were not displayed. What kind of sense do the digital and marketing staff at the headquarters have? From here, the sushi arrived mechanically on the conveyor belt, one after the other. All the dishes arrived in no time, and I started eating after taking a picture. As I enjoyed the unique sushi, including those typical of Hokkaido, I felt a slight dissatisfaction. I thought about it and realized that there seemed to be a lack of wasabi. Maybe it's because it's family-friendly, but since you can also order sushi without wasabi, I wished there was a bit more of a kick with wasabi. When I checked the tablet again, I saw a note like the one in the photo. Maybe it's my fault for not reading it properly, but this initial setting is just not right. "Menu items with the wasabi-free icon have wasabi by default, while those without the icon are default wasabi-free." It's confusing. They should either unify the default settings or set a wasabi-included/excluded selection button for all menu items. I couldn't tell which items had wasabi included or not in my order, and no matter what I ate, there was hardly any hint of wasabi flavor. In the end, I had to pour a large amount of wasabi from the table onto the soy sauce to finally get the usual sushi flavor. And for payment, you had to press the call tab on the tablet again, and when you did, a staff member would come to check the plates and issue a receipt, which you then take to the cashier. It seemed like they were not fully utilizing the tablet for operations. Also, the area in front of the cashier had markings for social distancing, but it clearly obstructed the flow of customers and staff. The sushi was good, but the inconsistent management bothered me until the end.
