Sushiro 101: The King of Quality

Introduction

If you only have time to visit one conveyor belt sushi chain in Japan, make it Sushiro. It is the undisputed champion of the industry, boasting the highest sales and number of customers. Why? Because they are obsessed with fish quality. While other chains focus on sides or entertainment, Sushiro puts its budget into the neta (toppings).

The “Sushiro Secret”: Why is it so cheap?

 Sushiro buys whole tuna fish in massive quantities.

• The Prime Cuts: Used for sushi (Maguro, Otoro, Chutoro).
• The Secret Weapon: What happens to the bones and head? They aren’t thrown away. They are boiled down to create a rich, umami-packed soup stock for their Ramen.
• The Result: You get authentic sushi at low prices, and a ramen soup that rivals specialized noodle shops, all because they waste nothing.

Pro Tip

 Keep an eye out for their “Fair” events (e.g., Crab Festival, Tuna Festival). They often offer high-end restaurant quality ingredients at 100 yen prices for a limited time.

🍣 Budget 

1,500 JPY – 2,500 JPY

The Experience: Technology & Comfort

• Auto Waiter: Most modern Sushiro shops have ditched the traditional rotating belt. Instead, orders zip directly to your table on a dedicated “express lane” to ensure freshness.
• English Support: Full English tablet ordering makes it stress-free.
