Usually I’m not so keen on kaiten sushi/回転すし/Conveyor belt sushi, but when you happen to enjoy food in a Prefecture and City famed for their fish and seaood I’m willing to make a concession, with a few conditions attached that is!

Mori Mori Sushi is a big sushi restaurant chain in Japan, with no less than 15 establishments allowing them to make extensive use of computerized service.

It is a busy place, but you do not have to sit elbow to elbow with other customers as the “belts” also run along the booth-style table seatings!

SN3O5027

The table we were offered was the epitome of sushi high tech!

SN3O5031

You can choose your morsels in two different manners:
via the computer digital screen or by picking plates running along on belts!

SN3O5043

Now I must admit that this system should appeal to non-Japanese speaking tourists as you can switch to English, Korean, Chinese and Mandarin (Taiwan) Chinese!

SN3O5028

The lid covered plates running along is a show by itself!

SN3O5047

Plenty of simple instructions:
Smoking prohibited!
Do not ride the belts (that’s for silly kids!)!
Mind your sleeves!
Do not return a plate onto the belt!

SN3O5048

You are free to collect leftovers to take back home! (no waste!)
Pay your bill to the staff at your table (no need to search for the register. You can pay by card at your table!)!
Refrain from drinking alcohol if you are driving!
No pets allowed!
Do not block large trays on the belt (such large trays are private oreders, anyway!)!

SN3O5032

The belt move slowly enough for you to look and pick up an individual plate!

SN3O5030

Yummy!

SN3O5039

These trays on the train are private orders that will be delivered at only one table. Don’t try to block it!
