Let's go kaiten-sushi(sushi-go-round)!




Hi, my name is ninja kurokage.
 My favorite food is sushi.

Today I will introduce "kaiten-sushi". (sushi-go-round)

Kaiten-sushi restaurants have rotating sushi on a belt conveyer and you need no hesitation to go in. Kaiten-sushi is a lower price than  decent sushi bar.


Sushi is rotating on the belt conveyer, you can take it you want to eat.

Finish eating, stack the dish on the table. and talk to staff "gochiso-sama" or "oaiso". That's mean "May we have the check, Please?”

Please come to Japan,to go to Kaiten-sushi.

Let's go! decent sushi bar!

Hi,My name is Ninja Kurokage.

My favorite food is sushi.
I will introduce sushi.
You can eat a sushi at decent sushi bar or converter-belt sushi bar.
Today, I talk about decent sushi bar.
Enter the sushi bar,sit at the bar.

sushi chef ask you "What do you want to eat"?
(In japanese "Hey nani ni shimasyo?")

You select from the menu.
For example, If you want to eat tuna, you will said ”tuna please”.
(In japanese "Maguro hitotu kudasai"or "taisyo maguro iccho")

Sushi chef put tuna sushi in front of you.
You eat it with a dash of soy sauce.

Sushi is typically made in front of the customer, so that the sushi chef can show off his style.

You can enjoy seeing sushi chef making a sushi.

I think that decent sushi bar is expensive, but sushi good and you have the opportunity to experience Japanese customs.

please come to japan to eat sushi at decent sushi bar.

The full moon  is beautiful in autumn.
In Japan,  there is a custom of seeing the full moon in autumn. That is called "tukimi"
