Hama-Zushi

We will introduce Hama-Zushi. Hama-Zushi is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. We usually call it Kaiten-Zushi. Kaiten means to rotate. Conveyor belt sushi was born in 1958. There was a beer factory in Osaka with an opportunity for a new birth. It opened a store at an international exposition in Japan and afterwards it had a chance to be able to sell conveyor belt sushi. There are various materials to conveyor belt sushi. Material ranking of the modern Japanese conveyor belt is as follows. The most popular is salmon. The second place is young yellowtail. The third place is tuna. There are also Udon and deep-fried food, and various things such as dessert.

When we enter the restaurant, we can see a lot of sushi on  dishes carried by a conveyor belt and rotating along a lane. We can take the sushi from the lane and eat it without  wait time. After taking it, we have to keep the dishes on the table.

Most of the sushi cost 100 yen but some of them cost more than that. These dishes are marked so the waiter can know the price. So when we check out, the waiter comes to the table and calculates your price by counting the number of dishes of the same price.

When we were children, we ate sushi only at a special time. But now we go there and eat Sushi any time we want because of the cost. It costs 100 yen per dish, and 1 dish include 2 pieces of sushi.

So we eat it for 1000~2000 yen per person. If you don’t like fish, you can choose Sushi with meat or savory egg custard or noodles etc...

I will tell you how to eat sushi. You can eat sushi with chopsticks or by hand. Basically, you can eat sushi with soy sauce, but you can eat sushi without soy sauce.

There are 5 kinds of soy sauce in Hama Zushi. People can enjoy various tastes. If you use soy sauce, place the soy sauce on top of the sushi or put it on a dish. Furthermore, it will be more delicious with wasabi. Also, you have to put wasabi on the sushi by yourself. Amazingly, wasabi is going around the conveyor together with the sushi. 

You have to make a green tea by yourself because it is free. You must put a cup of tea powder in a glass and add hot water.

We eat pickled ginger together when we eat sushi. Pickled ginger has bactericidal effects. If you eat a lot of raw fish, you may hurt your stomach, so pickled ginger is an important food when eating sushi.

Finally, by learning how to eat sushi, you can eat more delicious sushi.
