There’s a different kind of rush that awaits the city’s Japanese food fans. Kaiten Clash at Harajuku Tokyo Cafe brings out a heady dining experiment, where speed, instinct, and appetite dictate the experience. Built around a moving conveyor belt, the concept pushes diners to act fast as dishes appear briefly and vanish just as quickly. People sit around the belt, scanning what passes by, and literally, nab what they feel like eating. The space mirrors the energy of the concept. The dining area feels less like a restaurant and more like a culinary battlefield, where chopsticks become tools of survival and no two bites of the same food is guaranteed.
