Good (Conveyor belt) "Sushi" restaurant at Good Value (100 yen!)

Hi all,

Today, I would like to introduce you about the good “Sushi” restaurants at good value in Japan. There are so many sushi restaurants in Japan to introduce, so I pick up the most basic and most popular franchise Conveyor belt sushi restaurants, like Yo Sushi in Europe with price of about 108 yen for each plate (very good value! Each plate has usually 2 sushis).

The first Sushi restaurant I introduce is called “Sushiro” http://www.akindo-sushiro.co.jp/en/

Sushiro is one of my favourite sushi restaurant. I have an impression that they use very good Neta (Fish, Shells, etc… you see on top of rice). The CEO of Sushiro used to be a sushi chef so, he knows everything about sushi. His policy is that he use at least 50% of his revenue on Neta. That is the reason why all Sushiro’s neta is so high quality.

The second one is called “Kura zushi” http://www.kura-corpo.co.jp/eng/ or http://www.kura-corpo.co.jp/

Kura zushi also serves you good neta sushi. It introduced Touch panel LCD screen ordering machine and the machine is very use for the customers because they can order what they like to eat without any convenience. Maybe it works well for foreigners, too. It might depends on the restaurants but when you finish eating each plate, you put empty plates in an insertion slot of each table. It will automatically calculate how much you have eaten. I can say Kura zushi is well ICT developed sushi restaurants, too.

The third and the last one is called “Kappa zushi” http://www.kappa-create.co.jp/en/index.html or http://www.kappa-create.co.jp/menu/list.html

Kappa zushi is one of the biggest Conveyer belt Sushi restaurants in Japan. They use to have (maybe currently have) the largest number of restaurants in Japan among all franchise sushi restaurants. I have an impression that relatively kids like Kappa zushi because they have some amusing things for them such as Shinkansen (Bullet train) Conveyer.

There’s some good smaller sushi restaurants and one of them I recommend is Musashi in Kyoto station (http://www.sushinomusashi.com/ sorry, Japanese page only). It costs 140 yen for each plate and the Neta are excellent quality. If my memory is right, you can see sushi chefs make sushi in front of you (unlike the restaurants I picked up above). If you visit Kyoto Station, I strongly recommend you to visit there. The restaurant is not very big and always busy so maybe you need to wait some time.

If you cannot find the Neta you like on the conveyer, do not hesitate and just tell the waiter/waitress. They are happy to hear your requests.

That’s all about it for today. Should you have any questions, requests or comments, please leave a message. I am very happy if you could give me some advices to improve this blog so more people can visit here and get information on what they need.

Bye!
