Kaitenzushi （回転寿司）

In the Sushi video which I watched in the class, the narrator said that Japanese eat Sushi every day, but of course it is not true. Although Sushi is representative Japanese food, it is regarded as expensive and high class food, and most people cannot afford to eat Sushi every day. Especially like in the video, Sushi bar without conbeyor belt is much more expensive than Sushi bar with the conveyor belt (Kaitenzushi 回転寿司), so Kaitenzushi is more popular for common people.
Kaitenzushi was born in Osaka in 1958, and now there are about 5000 Kaitenzushi in Japan. There are two types of Kaitenzushi, one is Kaitenzushi shop with the flat price and the other is Kaitenzushi shop with the various price, and today I’m going to explain about Kaitenzushi shop with various price.





In this type of Kaitenzushi you can know the price with the color of the dishes.
As you can see in this shop the price of Sushi is from 105 to 525 yen.





These are 105 yen Sushi, Maguro (鮪 tuna) and Geso (げそ　squid's legs).









These are 158 yen Sushi, Saba (鯖 Mackerel) andTachiuo (太刀魚).






These are 210 yen Sushi, Ebi (海老　shrimp) and Tako (蛸　octopus)







These are 368 yen, Kazunoko (数の子　herring roe) and Kani (蟹　crab) .






This is Nodoguro (のどぐろ　Doederleinia berycoides)　which is the most expensive Sushi （525yen）in this shop.






Kaitenzushi enabled us to eat Sushi with reasonable price, and people came to eat Sushi more often than before, so Kaitenzushi can be said as important Japanese culture.
