There is a large Kaitenzushi (the sushi places with the conveyor belts) around the corner from my house, and I go there often because it's so convenient. Usually these places have spouts at each seat to self-dispense tea to the customers, but this place dispense only hot water. The tea is in tea bowls and is a powdered tea. Normally, I don't care for these, but this particular tea is really quite good. At least, it's good while eating sushi. I don't think I would want to drink it as a pick-me-up in the middle of the afternoon, or even as a breakfast wake-up tea. But along side a stack of empty sushi plates, it really hits the spot!
