Kaiten-sushi(kaitenzushi)

Kaiten Sushi, also known as “Conveyor Belt Sushi”, is a type of sushi restaurant where the dishes are presented on a rotating conveyor belt. This system was introduced in Japan in the 1950s and has since spread worldwide. The concept allows guests to serve themselves by taking the desired sushi plates directly from the conveyor belt that runs past their tables.

A typical kaiten sushi restaurant consists of a central kitchen around which the conveyor belt runs. The chefs continuously prepare different types of sushi, which are presented on color-coded plates. Each color represents a different price, making it easier for guests to control their costs. At the end of the meal, the number and color of the plates are counted to determine the total bill.

The success of kaiten sushi is based on its convenience, speed, and fun factor. It offers a wide selection of sushi and other Japanese dishes that are freshly and quickly prepared. Guests have the opportunity to try various types without having to wait long for their orders. Some restaurants also offer touchscreen ordering systems, allowing special orders to be delivered directly to the table.
