See a beautiful short document of a Tokyo restaurant by Dennis Wheatley and Stefan McClean here. The camera is set on a conveyor belt which takes plates of sushi by customers sitting around the small bar. It gazes both at the patrons and the filmmakers. More than any news report it gives a sense of what it is like to linger in a Japanese restaurant after work – of everyday life in Japan.
