Around every corner of orchard central, fat, stark faces are slapped on almost any conspicuous surface found.
Savage, and angry, they seem to partake in the spirit of combat fighting, the determined, or psyche-up look when surrounded by mental power (yuanqi/元气). Genki is the japanese way of saying yuanqi.
The faces/spirit finding its way all into genki sushi, on its dishes and right into its foods.
The sushi lands in front of you, like a Mr Bean or ufo. It stays there, without moving. Together being encircled in light, it is so odd that you guess it must have dropped down from the kitchen or injected or something.
If you are still stumped, remove your pickings first. This will reveal a bullet train. So this is the express vehicle sends for your sushi, at the blink of an eye, you have to watch carefully in order to catch it moving!

Kokutouinari (SGD 2.30)
Finally, after dyeing the tobiko, fish flakes, and rice, someone also got to colour the distinctive element of a sushi, its tofu skin! Ok, a deep riveting brown, because of the black sugar inside.
It is purely the black sugar, and not because of massive frying which made it look so browned. Which makes this kokutouinari indeed outstanding, as with what it looks like. It is juicer, wetter and more flavourful than a traditional inari sushi, retaining the sweet breaths of malt or barley, with clear, plump sushi rice in between.
P.S. There might be a stain mark left on the plate, due to the black sugar! Black sugar is not brown sugar, but indeed a variety of sugar that looks almost black in cubes. As for a revolving conveyor belt or an express-train delivery system, we no objections as long as they can pass sushi to us.
