Birthplace of Conveyor Belt Sushi: A revolution in eating out culture! Higashi-Osaka "Rotating Genroku Sushi"

Conveyor belt sushi born from a beer factory tour

More than 70 years ago, Japan was in a period of rapid economic growth, and the city was full of energy. Because they want many people to eat sushi, which used to be a luxury food, they have set the price at 20 yen per plate. However, contrary to that thought, the former president was suffering from a serious shortage of personnel.

A visit to a brewery at that time was an epiphany. When he saw the beer being carried on the conveyor belt, he got the idea to carry the sushi on the lane in the same way. After 10 years of trial and error, the prototype of "conveyor belt sushi", a conveyor swivel dining table, was created.

As a result, it not only solved the labor shortage, but also brought new entertainment to the eating out culture with the unknown idea of "sushi rotating".

Not just the standard! Also pay attention to the unique "Gunkan"

When it comes to sushi, Tuna and Salmon is a big standard. It goes without saying that Genroku sushi is full of fat and melts in your mouth. There are many unusual "Gunkan (warships)", which are rolled by laver, that you don't often see elsewhere.

Among them, we would like to introduce two recommended ingredients that regular customers said, "You can't miss this!" The first one is "Nametake (mushroom) & quail egg". The saltiness of the nametake and the sweetness of the quail eggs are perfectly balanced, and go well with rice.

The second is "Puri Puri Shrimp Mayo". As the name suggests, plump prawns are wrapped in a sweet homemade sauce to increase the deliciousness. The taste is familiar to everyone from children to adults, and you can eat it up and down.

Recommended space for solo customers.

The seats at Genroku Sushi are all counter seats surrounded by two lanes, one large and one small. If you order sushi that is not rotating, the owner will hand you a freshly made sushi.

In such a store, there are many solo customers who enjoy the sushi in front of them. Of course, eating side by side with family and friends is also fun.

The mind that have not changed since our founding

Conveyor-belt sushi was born from the desire to provide sushi to as many people as possible quickly and cheaply. The original Genroku Sushi has supported the workers and students of Higashi-Osaka town factories with their ideas and passion.

That mind has not changed, and you can enjoy it at a reasonable price of 143 yen per plate. How about enjoying sushi thoroughly at a restaurant that started out as a conveyor belt sushi restaurant?
