After Hantaro closed down, I became a revolving sushi refugee, but I think I will come here. I arrived around 12:30 on Sunday and had to wait in line. It was a busy time wherever I went, and the parking lot was full, so I wrote my name at the entrance and waited in the car for a while. The road across the street was a temporary parking lot, as kindly informed by the person behind me, so I parked there. I was able to enter the restaurant after about 20 minutes of arrival. They offer freshly made sushi, and you order by writing down up to 5 items on a paper. I ordered items like chu-toro, engawa, salmon, raw salmon, shime-saba, shime-saba, hotate, kanpachi, salmon cream cheese, negi-toro, and oyster fry. The rice was small and warm, making it easy to eat. The chu-toro, engawa, and oyster fry were especially delicious. If you have mischievous children, they might end up eating a lot.

I entered the restaurant around the usual opening time and there were two groups of customers ahead of me. There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant. Both the sea urchin and fatty tuna were delicious. I ordered a set menu, but the fried chicken was also delicious and piping hot, and the chawanmushi was satisfying with plenty of ingredients. Overall, everything I ate was delicious. The sea urchin is tasty because it is not treated with alum. The revolving sushi in Otaru is of high quality.

I visited a revolving sushi restaurant for the first time for dinner today. This restaurant is operated by Otaru Naruto, known for their fried half chicken. I ordered the fried chicken which had a crispy coating and juicy meat inside, it was delicious. I also enjoyed choosing various sushi dishes that I like.

Visited for lunch on the weekend, with one group of customers before us and two groups after us. The main customer base consisted of elderly families and couples in their 40s to 50s. It is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant specializing in half-body fried tempura. You write down the sushi you want on a piece of paper and they bring it to you. There was almost no waiting time. The lanes only had menus flowing through them. The sushi was fresh and delicious, but the slices were thin. Compared to Hanamaru, the thinness was a bit surprising. The rice was small, making it easy to eat, but there was too much wasabi that didn't quite match the sushi and rice. The miso soup with seaweed had a rich flavor. The tempura was hot and very delicious, just as expected from Naruoto. Given the thinness of the sushi, the prices were slightly on the higher side. The restaurant was clean. The handwashing in the restroom was with cold water, which was tough to handle in January. I was so engrossed in eating that I forgot to take photos of everything except the first tuna piece.

You can enjoy sushi and the famous half-fried chicken at a rotating sushi restaurant affiliated with Naru, known for its half-fried chicken. Although it is located a bit far from the city, the sushi here is made with fresh ingredients and rivals that of famous sushi restaurants, yet at half the price. You can enjoy freshly made sushi despite it being a rotating sushi restaurant. Additionally, there is a vending machine selling the famous half-fried chicken in front of the restaurant.

I will visit Otaru on my day off, with no special reason, just to eat and drink with my wife. For lunch, we went to "Kaiten Sushi Uzushio Takashima Store," a sushi restaurant operated by the famous "Naruto" half-fried fish. There were two groups of four customers ahead of us, with about 10 counter seats and five table seats. There were 3-4 young and old female staff members on the floor, and 2-3 staff members in the kitchen, which was not clearly visible. We sat at the counter and made tea in a hot water pot. The conveyor belt was moving, but instead of sushi, menu cards were rotating. We ordered the "Uzushio Set @1,500," "Shime Nishin @216, Anago Nigiri @486, Maguro Nigiri (Akami, Chutoro, Negitoro) @486, Grilled Squid @216, Grilled Tsubu @216, Shellfish Assortment (Akagai, Hokkigai, Hotate) @421, Engawa @216, Shime Saba @270." The "Uzushio Set" included "7 pieces of sushi (Akami, Whitefish, Hotate, Salmon, Tsubu, Kojika, Shrimp), 2 pieces of fried chicken, miso soup with rock seaweed, chawanmushi." The sushi in the set lacked enthusiasm and freshness, and the fried chicken was crispy, hot, and juicy, as expected from their specialty. The miso soup with rock seaweed had a good flavor. The highlight was the "Anago"... thick and boneless, tender, with a strong saltiness from the skin, which was within an acceptable range. The Engawa was also delicious. The Tsubu was a bit disappointing, not what I had imagined from a festival food stall. The "Shime Nishin" had a bad freshness, with a hint of odor. This rotating sushi restaurant gave the impression of being run by a business from a different industry, as a side project. I have been visiting major rotating sushi restaurants recently, and I couldn't help but compare the content. Coming to this restaurant made me realize the greatness of modern rotating sushi restaurants. Lastly, visiting a sushi restaurant in Otaru at this time of year without "Shako" felt a bit lonely. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant affiliated with Narutoya. You can also order half-fried fish cakes here. The parking lot is a bit hard to find, but you can park a few cars next to the entrance. It can get pretty crowded during peak hours. First, let's talk about the sushi. They only have a menu available when they open. You need to write down your order on a piece of paper. The tuna sushi was delicious with a good amount of fat. The scallop and squid were average. The fish roe was a bit salty, maybe it's just personal preference. I was happy to see herring roe on the menu, as I like it. The half-fried fish cakes were consistently tasty! However, if you want to eat a lot of sushi, it might be better to skip them. They are great for sharing though. Overall, it was delicious, but it's just your typical conveyor belt sushi quality. If you want to enjoy sushi in Otaru, you might want to consider other options besides conveyor belt sushi.

A rotating sushi restaurant affiliated with the famous "Naruto" known for its half-fried fish. It's located a little away from the main street of Otaru and tourist spots. It's recommended because you can enjoy delicious food without any hesitation and easily park your car, rather than going to seafood restaurants on the tourist street. Of course, they have the famous half-fried fish and zangi, and the taste is just as good! We ate deliciously and filled our stomachs with just over 4000 yen for a family of three. We also tried the zangi bonbonchi (laughs). I really felt that if you're going to eat in Otaru, this is the place to go!

Visited on Friday, February 12, 2021 around 2:00 PM. Stopped by the Rinyu Market and took a leisurely walk towards the Otaru Aquarium. Walked quite a bit, haha. Before the tunnel, there is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. The weather was nice that day, and I nervously made my way to the destination, hoping not to get splashed by the passing cars due to the melting snow. The sidewalks were covered in snow, so I had to walk on the road reluctantly. The restaurant had a counter and table seating. It was clean and compact. There was only one other group of two customers. It was quiet. I started with a bottle of beer for ¥540. Only the menu items were rotating on the conveyor belt, not the sushi itself. I wrote down what I wanted to eat on the order sheet and handed it to the staff. The menu had many items that were perfect as drinking snacks, which made me happy. I ordered the following: - Corn mayo sushi for ¥162 - Salmon roe sushi for ¥162 - Seaweed gunkan sushi for ¥162 - Grilled squid guts for ¥162 - Scallop salad for ¥162 - Pickled herring for ¥216 - Pig's ear for ¥216 - Marinated salmon for ¥216 - Fried crab shell (should be ¥313, but not shown on the receipt) The total was ¥1998. They also had Otaru's specialty, half-fried chicken for ¥980, as well as unique items like zangi, chicken somen, and eel rice bowl. It's a casual and family-friendly conveyor belt sushi restaurant that stands out from traditional sushi places. I had the corn mayo sushi, which is one of my favorite dishes. It was delicious with lots of mayonnaise. It's a casual and affordable place to enjoy sushi. The only downside is its inconvenient location, but it's near the Otaru Aquarium, so you can visit on your way back. There's a bus stop right outside the restaurant, so I took the bus back. They only run every two hours, so be careful. I'd like to try the half-fried chicken from NARUTO next time. I'll definitely visit again!

In November 2019, I visited a sushi restaurant called "Naruto-ya" which specializes in half-body fried sushi. It is the only restaurant other than the one operated by Naruto-ya where I feel comfortable using the revolving sushi lane system. You can write your order on a piece of paper provided at your table and hand it to the staff, who will then bring the sushi directly to your seat. This ensures that you always get freshly made sushi. Although I consider this place a hidden gem, I noticed a group of tourists from overseas during my visit, which made me wonder if this place is starting to gain more attention. While enjoying some sake, I tried the shrimp caught that day in Motohama, which was incredibly sweet and tender. At 270 yen for a plate of two pieces, this shrimp was probably one of the best deals among all the revolving sushi restaurants in the country. The medium fatty tuna and the egg omelette were also delicious. The sushi rice and toppings here are slightly smaller compared to other places, so it may not be the best choice for those with big appetites. However, for my family of four, eating around 35 plates is enough to fill us up, making this place a perfect match for us.

Located at the corner of Otaru near the revolving sushi restaurant and Otaru Aquarium, along the road connecting to them. The parking lot is in front of the shop and there is also a temporary parking lot next to it. There are spaces for about 10 cars. Inside the shop, it is small and cozy. Let's try ordering something! I started with three plates... I had the red tuna, snow crab, and fatty tuna. My companion ordered various items. The person behind the counter (just one person) took our order sheet and disappeared to the back. Is this really a revolving sushi restaurant? Well, as long as it's delicious. The dishes arrived and we tried them! The quality is high. Quite high. The deliciousness of the vinegar rice, the quality of the ingredients are both quite high! I was surprised by the high quality of the sushi, considering it is run by a chicken restaurant. However, the rice and the ingredients are small, and it feels a bit expensive. There is a wide variety of appetizers available, and the chicken from the chicken restaurant was around 900 yen, I think? There are also rice bowl dishes (just over 800 yen), which is a relief. If you use it wisely, the cost performance is good, but as for just eating sushi, it may not be the first choice. It's a very nice place for snacking, drinking, and eating sushi (although it doesn't really need to be a revolving sushi restaurant).

When it comes to rotating sushi with fried half chicken, of course there are menu items like fried half chicken and zangi. It seems like because it's lunchtime, the sushi isn't rotating and you have to order everything. The quality of the fish is pretty standard and the prices match. There's also a set with zangi and sushi. There are many seared options on the menu, and the seared engawa is delicious. Also, there's marinated salmon which is tasty. The restaurant is located a bit away from the city center and seems to be generally quiet. There's parking space for about 6 cars in front of the restaurant. It's on the way from Otaru city to the aquarium, so it might be convenient to stop by. The prices are not too high, so I might go occasionally.

Since opening in August last year, I have used this revolving sushi restaurant mainly for takeout several times. It has been very convenient for my household as a casual revolving sushi spot. The reasons are: 1) It's a 5-minute drive from my house. 2) It's away from the city center so there are no tourists. 3) It's not very well-known yet, so it's always empty and you can sit down without waiting. 4) Compared to other revolving sushi restaurants in the city, the prices are reasonable and the quality of the fish is good for everyday use. The rice portions are also not too big, so the balance with the fish is good. 5) They are operated by Narutoya, so they also have half-fried dishes and zangi. It's like being above supermarket sushi but below popular revolving sushi restaurants. It's a convenient position, but I don't want it to get too crowded or close down because, well, there's a good example of a certain diner in the city (laughs).

I extended my trip to Otaru during a business trip to Sapporo. I also visited an aquarium further away. This restaurant was on the way. It operates on a paper order system, but there is also a conveyor belt with sushi. The sushi on the conveyor belt is cheaper. As someone from outside Hokkaido, I found the food to be delicious. The zangi (fried chicken) and mountain wasabi roll were particularly tasty.

On the way to the Otaru Aquarium, a new revolving sushi restaurant opened. It's located just before the tunnel. When it comes to Otaru's fried half chicken, "Naruto" is the place to go. In the past, "Naruto" has been an ice cream shop, soba restaurant, yakiniku restaurant, pork bowl restaurant, and what else? But they all disappeared one by one... And now, they have opened a revolving sushi restaurant. My family visited the place. It was 6 PM on a weekday and there were no other customers. Is it okay? My partner: (silent) Judging from their expression, if it fails, it's your fault... The plates with sushi toppings are rotating on the conveyor belt. This is correct, as you order from the staff inside the belt. My partner said the seared scallops were delicious. The plates we ordered were of normal quality, I think. Were there any distinctive items...? I wonder. Among the several revolving sushi restaurants in Otaru, this one is far from where tourists usually go. Even for local Otaru residents, why a revolving sushi restaurant here? I wonder. Is there anything distinctive...? Yes, there is! It's the fried chicken! We ordered the fried chicken. Of course, it was freshly fried and delicious. Phew, relieved. Until now, "Naruto" didn't have fried chicken as a side menu in the ice cream shop, soba restaurant, yakiniku restaurant, pork bowl restaurant, and what else? But in this revolving sushi restaurant, they have fried chicken as a side menu. Amazing, right? So, if asked which has higher quality between the sushi and fried chicken, I would choose the fried chicken. It's a change of perspective. If you think of this restaurant as a place where you can eat both revolving sushi and fried chicken, writing a review becomes less difficult. If you could take out sushi and fried chicken together, it would make the dining table lively. The main is chicken, and the subordinate is sushi, isn't that fine? I don't know the exact concept, but I think it's okay to have this kind of establishment. Let's look forward to the new style of "Naruto". But you know, the restaurant is far... Thank you for the meal.

On the way to the Otaru Aquarium, I found a sushi restaurant where you can enjoy delicious half-fried sushi. The half-fried sushi was consistently delicious! The sushi was average, but the conger eel nigiri was good! Thank you for the meal! (＾人＾)

I went to the sister store Uzushio because there was a 30-group wait at Naruto main store. However, the sushi taste was so disappointing that I couldn't help but wonder why. The taste of items like live scallops for ¥346 was even worse than other major conveyor belt sushi restaurants. The prices are somewhat high, but the taste is even worse than 100 yen conveyor belt sushi. The famous fried half chicken at Naruto main store was delicious.

I was completely satisfied with the delicious sushi with fresh ingredients and the hot chicken dish. I want to go again! ✨🍣🍗

I entered with the intention of getting takeout as the title suggests. Before being able to do that, I decided to order some common sushi items like tuna and shellfish. There wasn't anything particularly outstanding, but I was able to eat with the smallest bites compared to other sushi restaurants I've been to. The half-body sushi was cheaper than what you can find at the supermarket.

I stopped by after visiting the Otaru Aquarium. The parking lot in front of the restaurant can only fit about 6-7 cars. I arrived around noon and was able to find a spot to park, and got a booth seat without waiting. The menu and signboards feature (nigiri) sushi, but I wasn't sure if it would be tasty. The sushi was all fresh and of high quality, so I recommend this place over those on Otaru's canal street. They also have chicken noodles which might be good for kids. Be careful with the mountain wasabi roll, it's really spicy, almost like a punishment (laughs). Since the seating is limited, there might be a wait during busy times. It would be nice if they had more parking spaces. I would like to visit again if I have the chance.
