Before shopping at Ion Mall, I had lunch at Hamazushi. I ordered recommended menu items such as boiled oyster sushi, fatty tuna cutlet, Pacific saury sushi, seared Pacific saury, seared natural flounder, seared shrimp, shrimp tempura, medium fatty tuna, and crab miso. The oysters were indeed plump and delicious, the natural flounder was sweet, and the seared shrimp was also tasty. The tuna was okay, not the best.

I saw a commercial for Hamazushi and felt like going to eat there, so I went to Hamazushi near Aeon Mall Fukuoka for the first time in about 10 years. It looks much cleaner now. They had menu items that other stores don't have, like oyster and shrimp mentai. It seems like they have a wide variety of side dishes as well. What surprised me the most was how fast the train was moving, haha. They accept electronic payments. ✨

I made a reservation through the Hamazushi website and arrived 30 minutes early. When I tried to just check in at the reception, our table number card came out right away so we didn't have to wait at all. That day, my younger child had a sports day and my older child had Saturday school, so the kids were hungry. It cost around 4300 yen for the four of us, but for the amount of food we got, it's definitely worth it for families. In addition to sushi, they had a variety of side menu items like french fries and fried chicken set, shrimp fried dumplings, takoyaki, beef tendon stew, and even oysters. We ordered items like salmon roe, shrimp, spicy rolled omelet, and others that everyone liked. One thing that bothered me was that even though it was the season for it, the dishes we ordered came slowly without being covered, just rotating on the conveyor belt. It might be better to cover the dishes or have the staff bring them to the table. Despite the missed opportunity with the variety of menu items, my kids were satisfied so overall it was good.

Recently, I've been wandering around this area a lot. During the Bon holiday, I happened to come to Shime-cho, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture. I saw a Hamazushi restaurant and decided to have lunch there. I wonder where they rank in the industry among conveyor belt sushi restaurants? I've only been to two conveyor belt sushi restaurants in the past, so I didn't have high expectations. I arrived before 12 o'clock and was greeted by Pepper-kun. I used the touch panel to choose my seat, and I was assigned a seat at the end of the counter since I was dining alone. I ordered: - 2 pieces of sea bream for 150 yen - 2 pieces of seared eel for 150 yen - 2 pieces of horse mackerel for 100 yen - 2 pieces of ark shell for 100 yen - Clam miso soup for 150 yen With just 8 pieces of sushi, I felt satisfied. I didn't want to overeat and not be able to enjoy the sushi. The dishes arrived quickly on the conveyor belt. I took a photo before eating. I found it a bit troublesome to put wasabi on the seared eel, so I had to eat it as it was. The sea bream had no chewiness at all. I couldn't taste anything from the horse mackerel, not sure why. The ark shell had a bit of crunchiness, so I managed to eat it somehow, but I felt a bit unsatisfied. I was happy to find 9 clams in the miso soup, but many of them had broken shells. However, the soup was tasty. I couldn't finish it all, but I paid 702 yen for what I ate. If you don't mind the taste, it's enough to fill your stomach, I guess.

I went to Hamazushi, which I think is the best revolving sushi restaurant, to have a snack. I ordered two sea urchins, sea bream, raw shrimp, hatahata tempura, and striped jack on the touch panel. The first sea urchin was pretty good, but the second one I ordered was like, "Hmm." Well, it's only 90 yen, so it's okay. Overall, I'm satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

The tuna was really nicely portioned. The squid was watery, probably not thawed properly. Yuzu was a bit too much, felt forced. Sushi wasn't to my liking, so I tried ordering soba noodles instead. However, the flavor didn't taste like soba, more like wheat. Maybe they should just call it wheat noodles instead? That way, it doesn't feel like being tricked. Thanks for the meal.

I love the milk crepe at Hamazushi - it's around 220 yen! It's cheap and delicious. You can enjoy a leisurely coffee ☕ and cake there!

I made a reservation through the app and visited the restaurant! It wasn't crowded, so I think it might have been okay to go without a reservation. The sushi restaurant I visited did not have a conveyor belt, and I tried various types of sushi by ordering. The shrimp sushi was delicious after all!

The dishes were small and watery. I came here because red snapper and throat blackfish were advertised for 100 yen on TV, but I was honestly disappointed. The red snapper lacked sweetness, and the throat blackfish was watery and had a fishy smell. The fatty tuna was not bad in taste, but it was small. The seared sushi was watery overall, and there was no point in searing it. Wasn't the price previously 90 yen on weekdays? I don't mind paying 100 yen, but it's a bit much that everything I want to eat is 150 yen. The total price was a little over 1500 yen, but I think I would be more satisfied with a regular sushi restaurant for lunch. The interior of the restaurant had advanced in terms of COVID-19 measures, with Pepper-kun handling reception, seats being separated, and the conveyor belt sushi being eliminated. The sushi now comes directly to the customers instead of on a belt. The payment process is also automatic based on orders, rather than counting plates. An interesting attempt was having voice guidance done by voice actor Natsuki Hanae. Fans might appreciate this. Personally, I make my judgment based on taste, so I don't think I'll come back again. However, if they were to have voice guidance done by voice actor Yui Horie, as a member of the Black Cat Alliance, I would have no choice but to go, so please consider it.

Sure! Here is the translated content: "Alright. Everyone's favorite conveyor belt sushi restaurant, Hamazushi. It's located in Shime-machi. Easy to find parking. There is another conveyor belt sushi restaurant nearby, but today I felt like going to Hamazushi. Pepper-kun greets and seats you at the entrance. Very efficient. Choose between sitting at the counter or a table and enjoy different types of sushi with various soy sauces. There are also premium selections, but most are around 100 yen, or even cheaper at 90 yen on weekdays. It's Hamazushi!"

Today I came to Hamazushi. The last time I came, it was at a different store and it was really terrible. However, I remember desperately trying to find good points about it. This time, I came to the Shime store. This street is lined with chain sushi restaurants. Among them, I entered Hamazushi with a large blue sign. I ordered about 10 plates of sushi. First, the eel was terrible, it was like gelatin, not warm at all even though it was supposed to be "seared". The sea urchin had an intense taste of alum like I've never had before! It was so bitter! It had a flavor like detergent, it was the worst! The udon for children was lukewarm and thin, it was basically hot water! It was terrible!

Hamazushi Fukuoka Shime-machi Store @ Shime-machi, Kasuya District, Delicious Chicken Salt Ramen [Limited Edition] Ramen at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant!? When I first heard about it, I was a bit surprised, but they also offer eel bowls, dessert, coffee, potatoes, and even "vinegared rice curry" recently (laughs). This concept of "conveyor belt sushi x ramen" was introduced by Kura Sushi in 2012, followed by Sushiro in 2014, and now Hamazushi in 2015. Since I had never been to Hamazushi before, I thought it was a good opportunity to try it out. The chicken flavor seeps in slowly, perfect for sushi accompaniment. As soon as I sat down, I ordered the ramen (laughs). It arrived smoothly during the idle time. The soup has a gentle and satisfying flavor that lingers on the palate. The balance of subtle sweetness and well-seasoned saltiness is spot on. It's quite enjoyable on its own and pairs well with sushi. The medium-thick curly noodles, however, are a bit lacking in my opinion. The toppings include tender and tasty chicken chashu, half-cooked egg, plenty of seaweed, and watercress. The variety of toppings is quite satisfying. Since I was already there, I also had some sushi. The medium fatty tuna and seared medium fatty tuna were priced at 150 yen per piece, which is quite reasonable. The yellowtail was priced at 150 yen for two pieces, and the bonito tataki with shiso and garlic was priced at 100 yen for two pieces. The quality and price of conveyor belt sushi these days are impressive. The taste and pairing with sushi are excellent. The ramen costs 380 yen (excluding tax), similar to Kura Sushi's 360 yen (excluding tax). I also want to try Kappa Sushi's ramen next time. Here is a collection of "Conveyor Belt Sushi x Ramen" offerings: 1. 7-Seafood Soy Sauce Ramen @ Kura Sushi, November 2012 2. Tonkotsu Soy Sauce Ramen @ Kura Sushi, November 2013 3. Iberico Tonkotsu Ramen @ Kura Sushi, March 2014 4. Dashi-infused Chicken Broth Soy Sauce Ramen @ Sushiro, April 2014 5. Chicken Soboro with Nishin Miso Ramen @ Sushiro, July 2014 I personally preferred Sushiro's Chicken Broth Soy Sauce ramen the most. The taste, pairing with sushi, and the price of 280 yen (excluding tax) make it a great choice. I haven't tried Sushiro's "Salt" ramen yet, so I'll try it next time. Hamazushi's ramen also shouldn't be underestimated. Maybe Kappa Sushi will join the ramen war next (laughs).

This is a revolving sushi restaurant near Aeon Mall Fukuoka Rukuru. Recently, various revolving sushi chain stores have opened in this area, making it feel like a revolving sushi street. On this day, my wife and I enjoyed a revolving sushi dinner together. The atmosphere was not much different from other revolving sushi restaurants, but perhaps because it was a weekday evening, there were slightly fewer sushi plates rotating around the restaurant and it seemed like the ordered sushi was quickly made and placed on the conveyor belt. When you order using the touch panel, the items are delivered to your table, but be careful because at first, if you are not used to it, you might mistakenly reach out for the same item that someone else ordered when it arrives in front of you.

This sushi restaurant is located near Ion Fukuoka. There is another sushi restaurant from a different chain nearby, making this area a fierce battleground for sushi. So why did I choose this restaurant? Because I had never been there before! In Fukuoka prefecture, there are only three branches, which made me curious to try it out. I went with a friend, and despite it being dinner time, we only had to wait for about 10 minutes. Surprisingly short wait for a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. This restaurant also uses a touch panel for ordering. The sushi we ordered arrived on the conveyor belt in front of us, and the touch panel alerted us when our order was approaching. We ordered various items such as seaweed miso soup, tamago salad gunkan, negitoro roll, California roll, seared egg and cheese, toro bincho, maguro belly, grilled squid, edamame, shrimp and broccoli salad, seafood salad, tuna salad, grilled squid, live scallop, seared salmon, seared engawa gunkan roll, and side dishes. The sushi was average in taste, and the sushi toppings looked fresh and shiny as they circulated. The side menu had a variety of options, especially a wide selection of desserts that made me want to try them all. However, I was not very hungry during this visit and ended up feeling full after only 3-4 plates. My friend, who ate to their heart's content, was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal. Next time, I will try the desserts!

This time, I wanted to try a different revolving sushi restaurant, so I decided to go there. There is a Kura Sushi next door, but it seems that the waiting time is still long. I wonder if it's because of the difference in popularity (^^; Hamazushi had Tortilla Roll (tasted like tacos) and California Roll, and since I like creative dishes, I decided to try them. The taste was... so-so maybe (^^; There were also Tempura Shrimp Battleship, Karaage Battleship, and Pork Shio Kalbi. When something cold is served, or rather, when it's rotating, I think it's already cold, but I'm not sure. (There were so many Karaage on top, so I took a picture) By the way, if you order 5 items, you can't order anymore, and the coffee was flowing in drip packs (^^; (It was so rare that I took a picture Part 2) It was fresh or rather interesting? But as for the taste... I'm not sure.

When I went to Ion with my family, I happened to see this place nearby, so we decided to visit. It's located next to Kura Sushi, which is a great location. The parking lot and the interior of the restaurant are spacious. On weekdays, each plate costs 90 yen + tax, and on weekends it's 100 yen + tax. They have a variety of dishes, including some creative ones. I found it interesting that they had different types of soy sauce from Kyushu, Kansai, and Hokkaido. The sushi rice wasn't to my liking, but my family seemed to enjoy it. Depending on my family's preferences, we might visit again when we stop by Ion.

I visited a new conveyor belt sushi restaurant that opened near Kura Sushi. The place was always busy with customers, but I didn't have to wait long to be seated. Unlike other conveyor belt sushi restaurants, this one didn't have a rail system like a bullet train. Instead, all orders were placed using a panel and dishes rotated around the restaurant. Despite the lack of a rail system, the service was quick. I couldn't find the soy sauce dishes, but the portion of rice in the sushi seemed a bit small. I tried the grilled eel, which had a nice salty flavor and was cooked perfectly. There was also a udon dish with lots of clams, which looked delicious. The cakes, all priced at 200 yen, looked amazing and I tried the chocolate mousse cake, which was tasty although it had warmed up a bit on the conveyor belt. Overall, the restaurant impressed me with its unique menu items and affordable prices.
