2. How to Order – Step by Step
2-1. Get a Number at the Kiosk
At most locations, check in at the entrance using a touchscreen kiosk.
Choose “Eat In,” select the number of people, and get a printed ticket with a table or counter assignment.
Some kiosks have English—look for the language button.
2-2. Find Your Seat
When your number is called (on screen or via speaker), head to your assigned seat.
The seats are often labeled clearly by number or section.
2-3. Grab from the Conveyor Belt (Carefully!)
Plates circulate on the belt—feel free to take what you like.
But be careful: some items are reserved for others (you’ll see them riding on color-coded trays or with names).
Don’t grab reserved plates!
2-4. Order via the Touch Screen
Use the tablet above your seat to:
- Browse the full menu (available in English)
- Order fresh items delivered directly to your seat
- Track your order’s arrival on screen
Usually, a special train brings your sushi—don’t forget to return the tray!
2-5. Call Staff to Count Your Plates
After finishing your meal, press the call button to summon a staff member.
They will count your stacked plates at the table to calculate your bill.
2-6. Pay at the Register
Take the slip from your table and pay at the front register.
Cash, IC cards, credit cards, and QR payments are typically accepted.
