I've been told that
kaitenzushi (rotating sushi) is not
generally the best sushi but I
personally found almost every
kaitenzushi place in Japan to be better than any sushi
restaurant I've eaten at in the United States. I tried several of them. My
favorites are:
1) The kaitenzushi store in Shinjuku outside the south exit. Exit the station by
Tower Records, walk down the stairs and then cross the street and go down the street
on the left that
cuts away diagonally. The store is on the first block on the left. If you
aren't paying attention you can pass it as the stores on that street are so busy. At this
store all plates are 120 yen and I was never disappointed with the quality.
2) In Kawasaki there is a store in the outdoor covered mall street near the side
closest to Yokohama. I only went there a few times but the thing I liked most was
that they seemed to have the most selection. And not just sushi but soups, fruits,
desserts. Pretty good.
3) Also in JR Kawasaki station at the bottom of the stairs to the right there is a
small kaitenzushi place. They had the best toro sushi, the best kind, I've had at a
kaitenzushi store but it was also pretty expensive. If I remember correctly the toro
plate was 500 yen.
