The seafood boat, flounder, halibut, sablefish, yellowtail, sardine, and miso soup are all delicious. The seafood boat offers great value for money.

There is a convenient service where they make sushi rolls according to your preferences over the phone. I ordered various items, but when I asked for 3 plates of Tekka Maki, they all turned out to be Natto Maki instead. My child was disappointed. The sushi itself was also too tightly packed, making the texture heavy. This is not something that usually happens at this restaurant. It was a shock to have the order mixed up, but having the sushi rolled too tightly was even worse. This kind of thing doesn't usually happen at this restaurant.

This local restaurant used to only accept cash, but now they accept credit cards, which is convenient. The sushi here is thick and fluffy, making it very enjoyable to chew. In Kitami, people tend to be either Triton fans or Kuru Kuru fans, and I am a Kuru Kuru fan. The quality has improved a lot since the early days.

The Triton is still not up to par with the humor, but what bothers me the most is the attitude of the lady at the counter. She seemed annoyed when explaining the recommended dishes or soups. If it's going to be like that, there's no need to explain in the first place. The chef was friendly, so I'll give an extra star. As for the taste, the fish quality is better than at Kaiten Sushi. However, the rice at Kaiten Sushi is better.

If you come to Kitami, you should try going here. It's delicious.

At first, the name of the restaurant seemed a bit questionable, but I was surprised by the quality of the food. It's like a high-quality conveyor belt sushi restaurant, similar to Triton. And most importantly, it's cheap. This place is a hidden gem.

The jokes are good, but normally a serving of otoro is two pieces, so Kuru Kuru Sushi loses points for only serving one piece per plate!

I had a light lunch and soon got hungry, so I decided to have a snack at around 3 pm. I ordered 7 plates of sushi to share with my sister, including fresh fatty mackerel, horse mackerel, sweet shrimp, salmon, egg, and natto rolls. It was quite filling and economical. The fatty mackerel and horse mackerel were particularly delicious, with a nice oily texture that was very tasty!

◆May 2016◆I didn't have much time, so I decided to quickly visit. I had 5 plates of sushi - octopus, squid, king salmon, shrimp, three types of white fish, and a light miso soup. The white fish included shark, flounder, and matsukawa for about 410 yen. With these 6 plates, I was reasonably satisfied for around 1500 yen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ◆June 2012◆Across from Ito Yokado is a revolving sushi restaurant. While Triton is famous for revolving sushi, many people prefer Kuru Kuru Sushi over Triton. This was my first visit, and I entered as soon as they opened, sitting at the counter. The staff promptly explained the daily recommendations, which I appreciated. Since not many plates were circulating yet, I filled out the order sheet and placed my order all at once. The pricing is standard for revolving sushi, slightly cheaper than Triton. [Sushi I Ate] - Squid: Fresh and delicious. - Abalone: A bit small, but a good deal at 315 yen for 2 pieces. - Sea urchin: Love the crunchy texture, comparable to abalone. - King salmon: Delicious and fatty, salmon is always a good choice. - Tuna: A must-have for sushi, with a fatty texture similar to medium fatty tuna. - Shrimp miso ship: Rich shrimp miso flavor is great. - Horse mackerel: Affordable at 189 yen. - Miso soup for 300 yen. I mainly focused on plate dishes, totaling around 2000 yen. It's not as crowded as Triton, so you can enjoy your meal in a calm environment.

Kurukuru Sushi. A revolving sushi restaurant with a simple and straightforward name. I arrived just before 8 p.m. and found that out of the 8 box seats, 4 were occupied. At the counter, out of 7 seats, I was the only one there. I thought it would be quiet at this time, but more and more customers started coming in, filling up the box seats. The staff seemed to prefer filling up the box seats first before seating anyone at the counter, probably because there are only 7 counter seats. The sushi on the conveyor belt wasn't moving much as it was past the dinner rush hour. Ordering was done by writing on a piece of paper, but the conveyor belt was blocking the view of the staff, making it hard to have a face-to-face interaction, which I believe is essential in sushi dining. I also noticed that there are no touch panel order systems in restaurants in Kitami. I hope they introduce it in the future. The prices were a bit high, especially considering my favorite white fish sushi as a benchmark. However, I found the abalone sushi priced in the 300 yen range to be reasonable, even though it was thinly sliced. When comparing to Hakodate, it falls short. Kitami may be doing its best considering the limited number of revolving sushi restaurants. There is still room for improvement, and I hope a chain restaurant like Kaiten Sushi or Genki Sushi, where you can eat affordably, will open here soon.

Today I came to Kitami. While shopping at the 100 yen shop Daiso near Ito Yokado, I started to feel a little hungry. I decided to have a late lunch at the neighboring "Kurukuru Sushi." I quite like it, but compared to Triton, it's more plain. Maybe the lighting is dim? Anyway, I started eating salmon, yellowtail, gizzard shad, oysters, and tuna. The shrimp soup is light and refreshing. Looking around the restaurant, I discovered an interesting sushi, sea grapes. It's crunchy with a rich aroma (smells like the sea). To be honest, I'm not a big fan of it. Overall, personally, I like this restaurant. It's convenient because you can usually get a seat without waiting. On the other hand, I wonder why it's not more popular.

We offer sushi for 100 yen per plate (excluding tax). We have counter seats and table seats, so it's suitable for families and groups. We provide complimentary miso soup, which is delicious with shrimp broth. The miso soup has a rich flavor, especially in the evening. It's better to order sushi from the rotating belt or directly from the chef. We also have daily recommendations, so you can enjoy seasonal ingredients. The fatty tuna and medium fatty tuna were delicious! I'll definitely go back again!

Eel 291: The texture was soft and the flavor was well-balanced. Octopus Karaage 180: The portion size was decent and the taste was good. Mackerel 194: The vinegar was a bit strong.

I resumed my food log activity after enduring for a month in Kitami. I had ramen suddenly and felt unwell halfway through, so I had to retire. On my way back, I saw a takeout sign at Kuru Kuru Sushi for "seafood bowl" and "half salmon roe bowl." I thought about buying them, but I was heading to work and didn't want to eat sushi in the car. So, I messaged my friend in Kitami to buy the seafood bowl for me. In the evening, I received a message saying they couldn't find the seafood bowl, so they bought something else for me. I was a bit shocked by the price, but I tried the sushi. The sushi rice was decent, but the vinegar flavor was lacking. The mackerel was not too sour, which is good. The octopus was tough, but considering the price, it was acceptable. The squid was tender and not too sour. The saury was delicious, but not particularly fatty. The scallop was tasty, but it's just a scallop. Overall, the meal was okay, but nothing extraordinary.
