At the entrance, use the touchscreen kiosk to check in.
Select your party size and get a ticket with your seat number.
Many kiosks offer English—look for the language icon.

Follow the screen or signage to your assigned seat.
Most locations offer both counter and booth seating.
2-3. Grab Sushi from the Belt
The belt brings a steady stream of sushi around the restaurant.
Take what looks good—but avoid items riding on covered trays or labeled “reserved.”

Above your seat, there’s a touchscreen menu.
Use it to:
- Browse the full menu in English

- Track the delivery status of your order
Some items are only available by ordering—not on the belt!
2-5. Deposit Plates into the Slot
Finished with your sushi?
Slide the empty plates into the plate slot at your table.
This counts them for your bill—and triggers the prize game!
2-6. Play the Bikkura-Pon Game
Every 5 plates, you’ll get a chance to win a capsule toy via the Bikkura-Pon game.
Watch the screen above you—if you win, the capsule drops into the prize slot!

Once you’re done, press the “Check Out” button on your tablet.
