Hunger can affect our ability to think in the worst ways, but when we're starving and exhausted, there's almost no way we can make a decision with sound judgment. It's most aggravating when we finally get the chance to satiate our hunger, yet we have no energy to pick from a vast menu, no matter how mouthwatering the dishes...

The Nishiki Service Area in Hyōgo Prefecture is sympathetic to famished travelers who've spent long hours behind the wheel and experience this exact feeling, which is why they're implementing a new kind of service that makes it super easy for customers to order food at their facility. Anyone who wants a bite to eat, but has no energy to select a dish from the menu (or is feeling adventurous!), can slip a coin into the restaurant's capsule toy machine, and leave it to fate to decide their meal.

This capsule toy meal service will start from August 5th until the 31st, and will only cost 500 yen (USD$4.50). Inside each capsule is a food ticket for one meal, which will be a surprise until the capsule is opened up. Considering there's a chance customers will "win" a meal that's normally over 2,000 yen (USD$18), it's a great deal in addition to being an exciting attempt at chance. Those who just want a light meal can also take a spin at the capsule toy mini meal which can be enjoyed for just 100 yen (USD$0.90). With 20 different possible dishes waiting to be selected in capsules, it can also be fun for repeating customers who often stop by the service area.
