Hamasushi

First time I’ve been disappointed with a revolving sushi bar here in Japan.
Our experience was mainly dampened by two other visitors who kept taking our order before it arrived to our table. Husband claims they knew how the ordering part worked because they used it themselves so they should have known better than to take other people’s orders… They weren’t Japanese btw.
They need a better system for people that specifically order from the touch screen menu.
The food itself was mediocre. It was also probably due to that negative experience.
With so many other conveyor belt sushi places around the area, we will probably never go back. Lol

The sushi isn’t great, but it’s just too darn fun.
I would only come here with children, because mine got a kick out of it. The rotating sushi concept just never gets old. Too bad the sushi isn’t great here, but then again what are you expecting for this price? The navy gateway inn had this place bookmarked in their reference guide, because it’s super close to base. Head out Womble gate and it’s 3 blocks away. If you want good sushi you’ll probably be disappointed, but the novelty factor is high.

Great sushi, great variety and cheap! They have English menu too, order from a touch screen at your table or grab from the belt. Not much of a wait to get a seat which is nice if your looking to grab a bite to eat and run. Some of the other places In Yokosuka may be better quality from what I’ve heard I haven’t tried them all yet, but his is very good and no or short wait to get a seat the other spots have sometimes an hour wait to get a seat from my experience so far. Overall I like this place and would definitely recommend it.

From an Americans perspective, Hamazushi, is pretty sweet! It is super easy to order on the touch screen menu at either the singles bar or at a table, they have an English tab, so don’t worry. In the lobby, select how many people in your party and whether you’d like a booth or sit at the bar, you get a printed ticket, and your number will appear on the screen overhead when you are to be seated. You’ll be handed a numbered tablet and the corresponding bar seat or booth is where you sit, you won’t be escorted. One piece of advice, don’t order too much all at once if you’re alone, it can pile up on you, so space out your plates, tempura items take the longest so you can go through several plates of sushi before your one or two plates of tempura come out (order ahead). Your plates come to you on a rotary and your screen will play music and tell you not to forget to pick up your plates. The plates directly on the rotary are free game, anyone can take, the plates on the black and gold dishes are specific orders, so don’t take off those unless your order is up. You pay per plate you consume, most items are 100¥ for 2 servings of that item but the better cuts of tuna for example are 150¥ for one serving of nigiri. It’s worth it. When you are finished, simply push the Check button, your wait staff will count your plates and give you a receipt, take that to the cashier and your on your way!
The Tempura shrimp and squid is delicious, I really don’t have any complaints! Enjoy.

Decent sushi here. Not the best I’ve had but definitely not the worst either. The place was pretty packed but we got seated rather quickly. Order using a tablet at your table or just pick up stuff that floats by. The tempura udon and sea urchin (uni) were the highlights here for me.

The fish here are always frozen and not fresh. The place looks dirty and not so friendly service. I pressed the checkout and waited for 15 minutes. I pressed it again and the lazy girl who was just standing at the corner saw me and came to give our receipt. I will not come here again!

There are three 100 yen sushi joints here in Yokosuka near the base. Kappa Zushi, Sushiro, and Hanma. Hanma is 90 yen vice 100 yen and the quality shows.
The fish is typically not cut in a normal fashion with a weird appearance on the rice. The other two joints at least have good looking cuts which make me happy when I pick up the plates.
The other issue is the selection — it pales to the other two. It is the closest to the base and is cheaper by ten percent. So it’s cost versus quality — I went during lunch to show some visitors at work around. It was better than the sushi in CA — they said, so maybe I am just really picky.
Regardless — it’s a satisfying joint that will fill you for cheap.

In general I’m not a fan of conveyor belt sushi. Why? 1. You can see the chef making your sushi. 2. The whole artistic creativity and precision in make your nigiri or custom roll. 3. It seems to be mass produced. Made hours ago and ready to serve vs made to order.
Hamazushi proved me wrong and made me into a fan. Here’s why:
1. Quality was better than expected. For ¥100 a plate I was thinking it would be fresh frozen or old. Very fresh.
2. Computer touch screen made it easier to order. Love the warning sounds when your order is 15 secs away!
3. Lots of seating available. Looks like about 100 can fit inside.
4. The variety. Lots to choose from.
5. The price. You can eat well for ¥1000.
See the pics below for my selections. What surprised me the most and was the best of the day– Fried oysters. A lot of places here and back in the US mess this up for me. Hamazushi breaded and fried them perfectly for me.
Will be happy to come back again.

One of three main 100¥ sushi places in Yokosuka, this place serves decent quality sushi at a really affordable price. If you’ve never been to this type of place before, you can pick plates off the conveyor line or custom order your sushi from the tablet-​like screen at each table. Once your order is ready, it will make its way along the line and make a noise for you to pick it up. If I just confused you, don’t worry, they have English instructions available.
Each plate is about 100¥ (or roughly $ 1). It’s even cheaper for weekday lunches (about 94¥ inc. tax). They have many options to choose from including the occasional special seasonal items. They even offer California rolls to cater to the many Americans working nearby — which is not a common find in Japan. While the sushi is not bad by any standard, you can definitely find better in Japan, and even in Yokosuka. Sushiro (スシロー) nearby is newer and slightly better in my opinion (It’s also 100¥ a plate). If you go under Yokosuka-​Chuo station, you’ll find an even better place, albeit more expensive.
This place gets crowded fast for lunch so I recommend showing up near 11:00 to avoid a wait.
