We went to Ka-i-ten-zu-shi restaurant (回転寿司レストラン), Ku-ra-zu-shi (くら寿司) Ku-hon-ji branch store in Kumamoto City for the first time after Kumamoto Earthquake. Kurazushi is one of the Kaitenzushi restaurants. Kaitenzushi is a type of inexpensive semi-self-service sushi restaurant. Various kinds of sushi on small plates are traveling continuously on the conveyer belt. When they are passing along the counter seats after you have a seat, you ca take whatever you want to eat. When you order directly, touch panel is very useful. In that case, the sushi you ordered is delivered soon through Express (bullet train) Lane Staffless Conveyer. I felt interested in the system mechanically. No staff delivers sushi. Please try Conveyor Belt Sushi at least once when you visit Japan.
