Nagoya, Aichi, Japan｜Hamazushi

We were hungry after nearly two hours at the Nagoya Immigration Office, so we went here for late lunch/early dinner. The place is just two bus stops from the Immigration Office and the bus stop is just few seconds from the Hamazushi and easily visible. They offer that most dishes are for 90Yen during the weekday. Of course, not alcohol based drinks. Some dishes which you can order are also for more than 90Yen, but the prices are very reasonable. Basically, this is one of the cheaper kaitenzushi places I have been to. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon. And most stuff had to be ordered on the touch screen - just very few osushi came on the plates without needing to order. But nonetheless, whenever we ordered, the food came in matter of 1-5 minutes. The touchscreen offers Japanese and also English language. English language option also speaks to you, so you know once your order is comming. Ordering is therefore extremely easy, especially because there are pictures. Tea (maccha) is for free and you do by yourself - you take a cup, add desired ammount of maccha powder and use the hot water from the tap. Simple as that. If you order beer, nihonshu or other kind of alcohol, staff comes with that, it doesn't arrive (obviously) on the belt. Before you order any alcohol, you are informed on the screen that there is zero tolerance for underage drinking on their property and zero tolerance for people who came by car. Also, ramen which we ordered was brought to us by the staff and not on the belt. Beer was for 480Yen for a glass. You can order beer from the tap or from the bottle, same price. So the tap beer is actually cheaper, since you get more. As for the food, it was fine. Japanese people tend to say that kaitenzushi (moving belt sushi) is not high quality. Yeah, it may be, but still it is fresh and tasty. No foul smells, dry edges or so. Basically, if you come from a country without any kind of sea (and therefore lack of daily fresh fish), this sushi will be fine for you and even fresher you can get. And for the price? In my country, two pieces of such sushi would be about 700JPY. For just salmon. They also offer karaage and takoyaki (balls inside which is octopus), not just sushi. Also ramen, vegetables and deserts like cake, ice cream and so on. As for the interiour, this is like a family restaurant. So there are kids and families sometimes and it may get bit noisy. The interiour is clean, whenever someone leaves the table and pays, immediately staff comes and cleans the table, Japanese style. The toilets are also very clean, offering western style toilets too. To sum it up, I can recommend this place if you are looking for something which is good value vs quality. You will not wait long for your dish to come and you can enjoy various fresh sea food (fish, squid, octopus,....). Prices are very reasonable. If you are a connoisseur, you may not appreciate this kind of place.

Pretty inexpensive place for some good-quality conveyor belt sushi. Normal 2-piece sushi plate is ¥100 per plate and is also discounted for weekdays. Some of the special ones are ¥150. Overall I thought the taste was good and fresh. The atmosphere was loud so be prepared. I went by myself at night and had to wait about 10 minutes. If you're going in a group, expect to wait longer at busy times.

Wait time is a bit long. Robot makes reserving (at the restaurant ) easier.
