Kaitenzushi Nemuro Hanamaru

This place makes me so happy. I went 3 times when I was in Tokyo! tried a few other places but I was not impressed with the quality of sushi. The first time I went I was blown away, expected to pay like $ 70 for the best meal… got the bill and it was $ 22! I couldn’t believe that I ate all that amazing sushi for that price. Expect a line, but it moves fast. Also want to comment that when you see sliced fish «pre-​packaged» it was done so in the the kitchen to cut time off of the sushi chef’s preparation.

Very good experience, food and service, although we lined up for an hour and a half on a Saturday evening in the holiday season. We ate a huge amount (more than 10 plates each) and including drinks, 3700 yen per person.

Conveyor belt sushi is a crass gimmick, like sprinkles on donuts or strobe lights at a fireworks show (ok that last one is not a thing).
But there’s also the accompanying atmosphere and quality of the sushi. The staff was very welcoming. We were foreigners here but the conveyor belt was very practical for us, just point and take what looks good. And everything looked good. And what didn’t («What –is– that?»), it’s so easy to experiment. And if you know you want something that hasn’t come around, just order it directly with one of the many sushi chefs. Sometimes you’ll get something that you didn’t particularly care for, but that will be rare.
And the war zone that was our table at the end with random stacks of miniplates and dribbles of soy sauce, all of us stuffed beyond imagination, only $ 15 a person. Luxury eating at regular prices. We had a great time here.
It looks like a long line but only 20 minutes (quick turnover).

5 °F of the Kitte building, this is the swankiest conveyor belt sushi you will ever have. Each plate has 2 generous cuts of fresh fish nigiri, and the most expensive of the plate options is not even that bad! Prices range from ¥130-¥500 per plate of 2 nigiri.
Also available to order is a wide assortment of rolls and a la carte items such as the highly recommended whole conger eel for ¥480. So tender, perfectly marinated, and good value anago!
The highlights were the fatty maguro tuna which just melts in your mouth and the seared salmon nigiri (the soy sauce glaze and glistening sear, ugh TO DIE FOR), as well as the umami fluke fin. Foodgasmic meal, yet it only came out to ¥8600 for four people (around 20 plates)! I know. I know.
Needless to say, highly recommended! Long wait after 1pm though so make sure you get there early.

Best chain converter sushi place ever!
Conveniently located in Kitte building near Tokyo station, I came here with husband after he got off work nearby. We saw a line of people before 7pm and wasn’t sure if we should eat here, but what the heck, locals wouldn’t line up for a place that isn’t good, right?
Waited about half hour in line and got seated at the counter. There are additional seatings in the back of you have bigger parties or just do not want to wait for the counter if back seats open up.
Food/​Drinks– hot water faucet in front of you for you to prepare your own tea with cups and green tea powder. I like that, no need to wait for service and I can drink all the green tea (or water) that I want! Because most Japanese restaurants only give you one cup of tea when you order tea… Always not enough for me to drink! We grabbed a few good looking sushi from the conveyer belt, then marked some items from their sheet. We had a total of 14 plates, favorites were the simmered conger eel that melts in your mouth and the crab intestine. Three diners left of us each ordered a whole conger eel. No wonder!!! Because it’s good! Crab intestine was so good that we got another plate. It tastes like you were eating a whole crab with shell and everything. Everything tastes light and fresh.
Ambiance/​décor– brightly lit with adequate space. Space is not large, but I didn’t feel too cramped as compared to other sushi places. The back wall is a large black chalkboard that lists specials written with colorful chalk, cute.
Service– nice and warm. Chefs are friendly. They tried to figure out the numbers my husband wrote on the ordering sheet because locals usually write the names of sushi they want even tho directions say write down the number. So the second list we used, I helped write down names and we got the food way faster haha. From time to from, chefs would make plates of a special item such as toro or abalone nigiri and would get the customers cheering when interested customers raise their hand for the dish. People looked like they were having fun and it was quite fun to watch.
Overall– I really liked it! Especially when the bill came out to be about $ 35 usd. Where could you find such good quality sushi at this price? We actually ate sushi at a place at Tsukiji Fish Market the day before and it was far less tasty but double the price. I think it’s a hit or miss at Tsukiji places because the stuff I had two years ago there was much much better. So I highly recommend this place if you want conveyer belt sushi fun that involves good quality food at a good price. I could imagine dining here often if I lived in Tokyo. Conger eel hmmm crab intestine hmmm :)

This place is very good sushi place near Tokyo Station. We were told this was the beat place to go nearby. It was strange to realize that Japanese rolls are not about the crazy rolls. Each piece of seafood is a star on its own. The sushi was very good and it was cool to have it delivered on a conveyer belt. The waitress counts the dishes and price (depending on the color of the dish) and then comes the bill. The bill was very reasonable. We ate a lot of sushi and it was only $ 80. If you are near Tokyo Station and want some sushi, this is the place to go.
