I don't really know much about sushi, but this was a fascinating
read.The entire time I kept wondering what the difference would be
between the machine made sushi and the stuff made by the guys in
the documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi[1] Would I be able to tell
the difference?[1] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1772925/

The flavor changes pretty quickly. Non-fresh sushi can become
very bland.

If that's the case, might a machine produce a more predictable
outcome?

I can't say I've been to Jiro's restaurant (and though I admire
his dedication, the whole thing honestly seems a bit much), but
I've been to plenty of good sushi places and eaten plenty of
conveyor-belt sushi. As it says in the article, they are just
different. When you get a burger at McDonald's, you don't expect
it to be the same as one from a good restaurant.

I've had a few dinners at really good sushi restaurants, small
spots with the traditional 2-3 chefs working behind the sushi
bar. Those were some of the best meals I ever had.You would
definitely be able to discern the difference. It's a pretty big
margin. Having said that, I have eaten plenty of robot sushi, and
it's sometimes pretty good.

They have a nice clean website, if the product descriptions were
absent, then I definitely would not have been able to guess what
the machines were used for (http://www.suzumokikou.com/product_type
