Ohhhh, sushi.

We all love it and wish we could eat it everyday.  Back home, conveyor belt sushi (kaiten-zushi) is not common and quite pricey, isn’t it?

At around $4.99 or probably even a bit more these days (thanks inflation) for the least expensive plate, sushi everyday is wishful thinking.  I’ve been to this place several times since my co-worker brought me here. Now, introducing…

Sushi-ro!! Here, you can enjoy maki and nigiri, all at 105 yen a plate.  Regardless of plate color, the price is the same and quality is good.

Enjoy your fatty tuna, crab mayonnaise salad, eel, salmon, scallops, you name it —- each for 105.  For rolls, there are 4 pieces a plate (cut, of course).  For nigiri, there are 2 pieces or 1 depending upon the grade of fish.

If you want fruit, slices of watermelon and cantaloupe come around in slices - one per place at about 280 yen or more. I forget since I never order!

Various parfaits and puddings can be ordered with the call button at every table and at that counter. Each are 210 yen.

It was my first time although I’ve passed by the cafe several times since I’ve been in Nagoya.  I decided to take my afternoon break here (more like my late lunch!)

Juchheim is patissier founded in 1921. Originally from Germany,  this German patissier now has branches found only exclusively in Japan. (America needs more European cafes/patissiers like this!)

The “Schwartzver-something…”  Name was too long.

** 735 yen (tax incld.) **

A dedacant and rich, sweet yet slightly tarty vanilla/chocolate parfait with layers of cherries topped with fluffy cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup and a sprig of mint at the top. It was the perfect treat for a sweltering 98-degree summer day!

The Nagoya-Sakae cafe/shop at nighttime.

Besides desserts and cakes, they also serve German-style foods. You can also purchase other pastries and treats from Juchheim.  I’ve found branch shops around my area here.  I did buy my Christmas cake last December from here!
