Not too familiar with the conveyor belt sushi shops in our area (they are different from the shops we had in Kansai) we went to one in our nearby shopping mall, Kaitenzushi Katsu, a chain type restaurant.
When you order drinks, a robot brings them out to you, this was culture shock for us, we didn't know you also had to take the plates that the robot brings with your drinks.
Why?! because the plate color is how they will charge you for the drink…oops!
One of the sushi I ate was also made from smoked salmon, boo!
Even the supposedly really big neta (sushi toppings) were kind of skimpy and thin.
Before serving, they spray water on the sushi, to make it look “fresh”!
Though a fascinating thing was the way they counted our plates, they just used a scanner and ran it up and down the stack of plates then printed out our bill.
We won't be back here and will check out the other conveyor belt sushi shops in our area as well as other sushi shops instead.

Hope you can find another place in the vicinity. I've seen so many great local places on different variety shows and can't imagine coming across a dud place. But I guess Tokyo is so huge you're bound to find a disappointment every now and then...
ReplyDeleteV, we had sushiro nearby when we lived in Osaka, but would always go to Chojiro which was "up the street" (20 minute-ish walk) from where we lived
ReplyDeleteSaburo, there is a Hamasushi (chain) nearby, so we are looking forward to trying that place, and there is a "real" sushi shop couple streets away, so we'll check that one out too :)
Take care you two.

ReplyDeleteKirk, at least it isn't the only sushi place nearby
ReplyDeleteTake care.
