Kristina asked me to be on the look out for Sushi vending machines. So far, I haven't seen any sushi vending machines but I have seen several diffent kinds of soda machines. Some of the soda machines sell coffee too. You can get a can of coffe for about 90 yen which is just over a buck. You have the option of either cold or hot coffee cans. It takes about two of these to fill up a large plastic thermal cup I have for my morning routine.
There are a lot of cigarret vending machines and I mean ALOT! You walk down the street and see one at about every other corner. You can also buy beer out of a vending machine too! What a country! Which reminds me... I found out today that it's impolite to walk and drink here in Japan. The soda/coffee/cigarette machines have bins on the side where you can recycle your container or throw away your trash. In fact, you see recycle bins just about every where. I don't blame them because I bet landfill space here is either non-existent or hard to come by. The soda machines around post are the 'water cooler' equivalent back in the states. What I mean is that there is where you get to talk about the news, weather and sports for the day.
Another vending machine dispenses noodles. I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but in any case, these vending machines have EXTREMELY hot water. The noodles are a type of Ramen noodle with different spices. Kinda hard to read but the ones that are really colorful are the better ones. I've tried a few at night when I miss out on dinner.
