Rotating sushi is exciting, isn't it? Today, I went to "Kura Sushi" in Shinsekai because I was craving sushi. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I noticed that the store was on the second floor. I took the elevator to the second floor and found a spacious dining area. I tried various dishes, but I didn't take many photos. One of them was marinated tuna, which was delicious. Kura Sushi is known for its slightly sour rice, which adds a unique flavor. I always order the shrimp tempura sushi when I come to Kura Sushi. It's hot, juicy, and you get two pieces for only 110 yen, which is a great deal. Another dish I had was the salad battleship, which is a menu item I surprisingly enjoy. For dessert, I had strawberry shaved ice, which was topped with jam sauce with fruit chunks. Kura Sushi has a great selection of side dishes, which I really appreciate. Eating at a rotating sushi restaurant is always exciting and enjoyable. Thank you for the meal.

Recently, I've been wanting to enjoy some sushi and drinks at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, but since my usual spot is closed, I decided to visit Kura Sushi instead. I didn't really pay attention to the prices and just grabbed whatever caught my eye from the conveyor belt or the menu. One interesting item I tried was the sushi with ham. Each piece came with ham wrapped around the rice, along with a special sauce, and it was quite tasty. The half-priced salmon was also a good find, comparable to other budget sushi places in the area. I also enjoyed the lemon yellowtail and chawanmushi. Overall, while there weren't many standout items this time, the experience was satisfying.

Located on the main street of Shinsekai, the entrance may feel narrow, but once you go up to the second floor, it opens up. Perhaps due to the pandemic, there weren't many people, and orders were served quickly. The grilled dishes, like the grilled pork belly and seared cheese shrimp, which require some extra effort, tasted especially delicious.

I don't know if I can climb it at all, but there is something about the unknown that draws me in. The uncertainty is also next to danger. However, at the same time, it has the potential to bring out my unknown strength. Today, I visited "Kura Sushi Shinsekai Tsutenkaku Store." The area around Shinsekai is not as lively as before due to the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic. I chose "Kura Sushi." They have an automated reception system, and I headed to my seat with a barcode ticket with a seat number. I will also use it for payment. I chose the popular nigiri sushi set with chawanmushi (759 yen). It's a lunch set for 500 yen excluding tax on weekdays, with a choice of red miso soup or chawanmushi. I added chawanmushi in addition to the red miso soup. The set includes 7 pieces of nigiri sushi and 2 gunkan-maki, with a decent balance of colors. There are no special toppings, but the flavors are comforting. The piping hot chawanmushi is topped with large mitsuba leaves and contains shrimp and shellfish. Eating the chawanmushi leaves you feeling satisfied. It was delicious. The 500 yen lunch set is definitely worth it. Next, I aim to try the seafood bowl or tempura bowl. Let's strive on the path we take, and there will be no regrets in the end.

"I personally like this kind of initiative." That's what I thought when I found a certain Hamachi sushi at this store. On this day, I visited Tennoji for errands and stopped by the Shinsekai area on my way back. It had been a while since I visited Shinsekai, but it seemed that the impact of the new coronavirus was significant as there were few people around. In the midst of that, I stumbled upon a store that made me think, "Oh, there's a store here too?" It was "Kura Sushi." Just the day before, I saw a TV commercial where the "AI maguro" that had appeared about four months ago was reintroduced for a limited time, so I decided to try it since I was there. I noticed an interesting menu introduced on the table. It was the "Natural Fish Fish Rearing Project," featuring the "Nizadai" and "Hamachi" products. Unfortunately, the "Nizadai" was already sold out by the time I arrived, so I ordered the "Hamachi" from this project and also ordered the "premium aged kanpachi" as part of the "Ultimate Aging Fair" that was also happening at the same time. The "Natural Fish Fish Rearing Project" is an initiative by Kura Sushi to raise immature fish caught in fixed nets and ship them as high-value sushi ingredients. The "Hamachi" from this project is the first product of this initiative, where small Hamachi and amberjack were raised to about 2kg over a year. Compared to the "premium aged kanpachi" that I ordered at the same time, the Hamachi may have been slightly less flavorful, but it was nicely fatty with a chewy texture, and I didn't find it cheap at all. By the way, according to information I found online, the other product from the project, "Nizadai," has been considered a nuisance by fishermen as it causes damage by consuming seaweed that serves as food and spawning grounds for abalone, turban shells, and some fish. Even if caught for consumption, it often has a low market value and is discarded due to the unique smell from its main diet of seaweed. In response, by feeding discarded cabbage leaves instead of seaweed, the unique smell was reduced, resulting in the sushi I tried that day. ... Oh, I wish I could have tried that too. Now, I also tried some items from the "Ultimate Aging Fair" that day, so I will comment on those as well. - Tuna Three Variety Assortment Ultimate Aged AI Tuna, Ultimate Aged Pickled Tuna, and Bintoro. When I compared them, I felt that the AI tuna had a stronger tuna flavor. - Domestic Spanish Mackerel Black Pepper Pickled, Domestic Hamachi Ginger Soy Pickled. Part of the ¥100 domestic natural fish series. Both were good, but personally, the Spanish mackerel with black pepper, which was less stimulating than I expected, was very impressive. - Domestic Tiger Puffer Tempura made from parts unsuitable for sushi. It was difficult to eat due to many small bones, but it had a taste similar to chicken thigh meat. The sushi from the "Natural Fish Fish Rearing Project" is available for a limited time until 11/12, and it is only available at a total of 10 stores in Tokyo, Osaka, and Saitama, including this Shinsekai Tsutenkaku store. However, considering that the quantity is already low compared to other items, it is likely that it is already sold out at other stores. If you are interested, please visit the stores that carry it.

For lunch in the new world, I was in the mood for conveyor belt sushi, so I headed to Kura Sushi. It was my second time at Kura Sushi. I decided to try various nigiri without expecting too much. The most expensive one was the double-priced squid, but it was surprisingly ordinary. The flounder fin and other items were not bad. The main dish of the day was a hamburger! I thought it would be like a Filet-O-Fish, but it turned out to be a teriyaki-style patty with two slices of fried onion. It tasted like sardine hamburger, not bad but not delicious either. The ramen my companion ordered had an impressive taste of dried fish, but it lacked a distinctive feature compared to the curry sushi I had last time. It cost around 3,000 yen for two people, so it's affordable and quite enjoyable.

When passing by the Kurazushi restaurant in Shinsekai, I suddenly thought, "I can eat natural amberjack here," so I decided to get some for takeout after lunch. It seems like the revolving sushi restaurants are not popular in Shinsekai, maybe it's because of the new coronavirus, I'm not sure. There were hardly any customers. I asked at the register if I could get the amberjack for takeout, and I ended up buying three plates each of amberjack, aged fatty tuna, and other types. They said it would take 20 minutes, but it was actually about 15 minutes until I was called in a very quiet voice (since I was the only customer there). The natural amberjack was easy to eat with a nice balance of fat and a refreshing taste. The aged fatty tuna was also delicious with a good amount of fat for chutoro. The amberjack made me want to go to Wakayama next time and try it in a hot pot.

We took a 7-year-old child for a leisurely walk from Tennoji to Namba area and decided to have lunch at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant called Kura Sushi. We taught the child how to open the cover to prevent sushi from drying out, how to use the touch panel to order, how to use soy sauce, and the rule of receiving a prize from a game after eating 5 plates of sushi. The child ended up mainly eating salmon and was determined to keep eating until winning a prize from the game. It was a fun and enjoyable experience.

I tried a limited-time dish with a large piece of bulgogi-like meat on top, and it was delicious! I ate a lot of it! As usual, I didn't win anything in the lottery game! (laughs)

I went to Kura Sushi in the new world with my friends. We made a reservation for Saturday night and had to wait a bit. We ordered kitsune udon, chawanmushi, yellowtail, fatty tuna, sweet shrimp, etc. The freshness was good for the price and it was delicious.

Second stop of the day! A quick meal and drinks for 2300 yen in 30 minutes (⌒▽⌒) I also haven't forgotten about my diet, with half portions of rice and extra radish (^◇^;) Now onto the next one! (laughs) #Osaka #Shinsekai #Tsutenkaku #Kura Sushi #Diet Menu

Visited on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 around 9:30 pm. Wandered around Shinsekai feeling a bit heavy after having kushikatsu, so decided to go to Kurazushi for the first time in a while! The restaurant is located on the second floor, accessible by elevator or stairs. The interior is spacious, and it seems like there are always a lot of Chinese tourists here. Since it was a weekday and a late hour, we were able to enter smoothly! (^-^) I ordered my favorite sushi using the touch panel. I had the corn sushi, which I haven't had in a while! It's cheap and delicious! (^｡^) I ended up eating too much and got really full! Due to its location, I imagine there might be a wait on weekends or during meal times! It seems like there is a Kurazushi reservation app where you can specify a time to avoid waiting in line! Hmm, for those interested, I highly recommend downloading the app! It was very delicious! I will visit again! ( ´ ▽ ` )

A new Kurasushi restaurant opened in the New World mall. Unlike the stores with parking lot type on the first floor, here the first floor is a McDonald's. You go to the second floor by stairs or elevator. It was almost empty during the weekday lunch hours, so we had the place to ourselves. We ordered seared salmon, salmon, tuna, shrimp, inari, chawanmushi, red snapper, octopus, seared blackthroat seaperch, ikura, mandarin fish, amberjack, red miso soup (fish head), chocolate pudding, and coffee. The touch panel was hard to operate as it was fixed on the lane, and the menu order seemed random, making it difficult to find items like mandarin fish. The first items we ordered took a while to arrive, despite the place being quite empty. The red miso soup was packed with fish meat, surprisingly rich. I was too busy taking care of my family, so I only took a photo of the dessert. The chocolate pudding was on sale for 100 yen (usually 150 yen), and the coffee was also on sale for 100 yen (usually 150 yen). The pudding came in a plastic bamboo tube container used for sushi, with a mousse-like texture and a sponge bottom. The coffee was medium roast, perfect for after a meal. The lid was designed to be drunk without a straw, with a fun shape and good mouthfeel, but I removed it to drink since I was seated. It's also nice to order it to go and drink while leaving. The total for two people was just over 2000 yen. Cheap!

Located close to Tsutenkaku Tower, I had lunch at this place in Shinsekai. The interior has counter seats and table seats, with mostly table seats due to high tourist demand. I placed my order using a touch panel and then had my meal. The sushi tasted like the usual Kura Sushi, but the size and appearance were quite poor, especially the snow crab which was dry and empty. The fatty salmon was also thin... I quickly finished eating and left. Overall, the prices are cheap but the taste is disappointing. It's a shame that the restaurant is popular due to being a tourist spot.

When you think of a new world, it's a town full of kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers). Among all the kushikatsu restaurants, a new revolving sushi and McDonald's have opened. It's rare to see a Kura Sushi restaurant in a bustling area like this, almost like a tourist spot. The sushi is rotating on plates with a unique design on the exterior. Going up the stairs to the second floor, it's been years since I last visited Kura Sushi. I was seated in a booth. It's a sign of the times, most of the staff are foreigners. It's a new opening, so they're still getting used to things and the language barrier adds to the awkwardness. Let's start picking up plates. All plates are covered with lids. I tried to open them but couldn't. I found the instructions and learned that if you hold the plate and pull it towards you, the lid will open automatically. Amazing! I finished with seven plates of sushi. The taste was just like Kura Sushi. After eating, there's a plate disposal slot at the edge of the table. The system has evolved in various ways without me noticing. The menu doesn't have a wide variety of sushi, but there are plenty of side dishes. A hamburger, huh... I have the spirit to try it, but the price of 250 yen is too cheap, so I hesitated. I'll try it next time I have the chance.

In a new world, I unexpectedly found a Kura Sushi. I went around 2:30 on a holiday, and it was quite crowded. Actually, I had to wait for about 15 minutes. The sushi is delicious, but it was disappointing that they stopped accepting orders from the tablet. I couldn't order what I wanted to eat. It might be because they were busy, but it's stressful when you can't place an order.

Hmm, everything was kind of mediocre.
