This shop opened around the end of July and I had been looking forward to visiting since the opening. It's like a new version of "Sushi Zushi" with a unique "red vinegar" twist! And it's a conveyor belt sushi restaurant...or so I thought. I arrived at 5 o'clock today, and I was the first one to be seated. I was a bit surprised because I expected there to be a line even at this early hour. In front of each seat, there was a tablet for ordering. I quickly realized how it worked and started inputting my orders. The sushi arrived on the belt in front of me very quickly, possibly due to the early hour. But what amazed me was how the plates stopped right in front of me with precision. I couldn't help but be impressed by the technology (I was impressed by a different aspect at a sushi restaurant). It made me think about how "Edomae red vinegar sushi" has evolved in this way. It was a thought-provoking and nostalgic experience. Thank you for the meal today. And thank you!

This was the first high-end revolving sushi restaurant to open in Kansai, offering a variety of unique sushi options. While tuna is the typical image of sushi, I didn't find it particularly delicious here. Overall, I think the prices are reasonable. The restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere with black and gold colors, which left a good impression. However, personally, I feel that revolving sushi should be cheap and tasty, while high-end sushi should be expensive, delicious, and visually appealing. So, it's a bit difficult to judge this restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

There are few sushi restaurants in Kyoto, so I am very happy that Onodera has opened a branch in Kyoto. The location in Shijo Kawaramachi is excellent and convenient. I was able to enter without waiting in line on a Sunday at 5 pm. The high-class atmosphere when the door opened was exciting! It felt like being in Ginza. The interior was very clean and had a comfortable feel. When I mentioned that the air conditioning was a bit cold, they adjusted it immediately, which I appreciated. I didn't notice the self-serve water, but they brought it to me when I asked. The service is good! The staff were also very friendly. You can enjoy a higher quality conveyor belt sushi at a reasonable price. You can adjust the size of the rice portion, and you can also order sushi without rice as a topping, which is great. The sushi doesn't fall apart, but it feels like it was just placed on the rice without much effort put into shaping it. It's good sushi, but they could put a bit more effort into it. There are a few too many disappointing photos on the menu panel. While eating, suddenly there was festival-like music coming from the panel, but when I asked, there wasn't any special deal or offer, so it didn't really create any excitement. The highlights of today's meal were: ginger, salmon belly, salt-seared enagawa, and fried octopus, which were all delicious. The rice was firm, with a good balance of vinegar. Overall, it's not bad, thank you for the meal, I will visit again. Ordered: Homemade pickled mackerel (2 pieces), pickled horse mackerel (1 piece), sardine (1 piece) - a bit disappointing as there were some small bones left, salmon belly (1 piece), bonito tataki roll (1 roll) - the seaweed flavor was lacking but still fairly tasty, salt-seared enagawa (2 pieces), and squid (2 pieces).

I entered the store 1 hour before closing. Perhaps because it was close to closing, the rice was hard (like when vinegar rice is exposed to air for a long time) and not to my liking. The balance of red vinegar was very good! One good point was that there were many rare types of sushi toppings, and even the lower-priced toppings were interesting. However, all the staff members provided excellent customer service. It may be obvious, but it is recommended to go early when the rice is freshly made.

Just as you get off at Shijo Kawaramachi station, right in front of you! Ginza's famous high-end sushi restaurant "Ginza Onodera" has expanded to Kansai... but unexpectedly, it's a conveyor belt sushi restaurant!!! However, it has a luxury feel like never before! They have special tuna from Yamazaki and a comparison of sea urchin, with performances that make you go "wow." The price and taste are somewhere between a high-end restaurant and a regular conveyor belt sushi place. Foreign visitors to Kyoto will surely be delighted!

Well, let's talk about Kyoto. I visited the Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera Kyoto branch. It was a Saturday afternoon, but surprisingly, the restaurant was empty when we entered. I tried the Yamazuki tuna Tekkamaki, Yamazuki tuna red meat, Yamazuki tuna medium fatty, and shrimp. Hmm, the tuna wasn't very delicious. I think I know why. I don't dislike conveyor belt sushi, in fact, I quite like it, but this restaurant made me feel the limitations of conveyor belt sushi. Maybe they set the bar too high, so it's a bit disappointing.

I plan to visit any restaurant at least three times before evaluating it, unless it is really bad. This is my third visit! The location is great, right near Shijo Kawaramachi and in front of Takashimaya. The Castella Tamago is delicious! On the downside, the quality of the tuna is not that great, and for the price you pay, there are many other options in Kyoto that are more developed than this conveyor belt sushi restaurant.

Kaiten Sushi Onodera Ginza Kyoto Store. A high-end revolving sushi restaurant that has newly opened in Shijo Kawaramachi. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous! There are long rows of counter seats extending all the way to the back. There also seemed to be private rooms on the other side of the wall. Orders are placed using a touch panel, and you pour your own tea. This is similar to a regular revolving sushi restaurant. The speed at which the sushi is delivered on the lane is super fast! The sushi arrives swiftly and elegantly. The sushi mainly consists of Maguro from Yamakoh, along with a variety of seasonal seafood. I didn't notice any particularly rare items. The sushi rice is made with red vinegar, which is quite unusual. The rice is quite firm and crumbles in your mouth. The fish is large, fresh, and delicious. The prices range from 500-600 yen per plate on average. Personally, I am satisfied with 100 yen revolving sushi, so considering the balance between taste and price range, I'm not sure which one I would choose... Thank you for the meal. It seems that Onodera's revolving sushi is also expanding to Osaka. The sushi I had: 1) Yamakoh Hon Maguro Chutoro 1 piece (610 yen) 2) Three pieces of seasonal fish (720 yen) 3) Fresh salmon 2 pieces (480 yen) 4) 2 pieces of fresh mackerel (620 yen) 5) 2 pieces of live kanpachi (540 yen).

In terms of cost performance, it can't beat nearby Kurasushi or Sushiro... and in terms of sushi quality, it doesn't measure up to Morimori Sushi... Even if it's called Edo-style sushi with red vinegar at this price... But the location is really good, so go all out! Switching to a focus on inbound customers might lead to success, I guess? Personally, I recommend the egg sushi that tastes like castella!

I visited a new restaurant called "Onodera" located below the Saizeriya in Kawaramachi, which is said to be a branch of the Ginza store. I arrived about 15 minutes before the opening time (10:30) and was waiting outside when a staff member kindly asked me to wait inside due to the heat. The restaurant specializes in revolving sushi and has a two-tier straight-line conveyor belt counter. There are also box seats separated from the counter seats. Orders are placed by touching a tablet. You can order sushi with or without shari (rice) and also enjoy dishes like grilled conger eel, barley shochu, a uni (sea urchin) tasting set, and various sushi. By the time I checked the progress of my order, it had already exceeded 10,000 yen. Finally, I ordered simmered conger eel and fatty tuna as a finishing touch. One thing that bothered me was that the shari (rice grains) tended to stick to my fingers. I wished they had provided proper wet towels or finger bowls.

Today, let's go all out. Feel free to leave comments. It will be encouraging. Onodera-san, with a fierce passion, has earned two Michelin stars in Los Angeles for four consecutive years. Not to mention the Onodera-san in Ginza 5-chome. I visited the new rotating sushi restaurant by Onodera-san in Kyoto, located just a 1-minute walk from Kawaramachi Station. They opened on July 28th and are having a grand opening sale until August 11th. They use the top-quality tuna from the famous wholesaler Yamayuki. As part of the opening celebration, the lean tuna is priced at 310 yen, medium fatty tuna at 510 yen, and fatty tuna at 720 yen - which is incredibly affordable. If you eat at 8 sushi restaurants in Ginza, it will easily cost over 20,000 yen. This restaurant clearly offers more value for the price. The vinegar rice and tuna lean meat are on par with those in Ginza. I visited after watching the impressive pitching of the ○○ pitcher from Tokushima Shogyo at Koshien. The counter has about 30 seats in 2 rows. The prices are unbelievably low. It's at a national level for revolving sushi restaurants. There are no revolving sushi restaurants of this caliber in Shikoku. Even if you eat a lot, it won't cost more than 10,000 yen, making it feel like an all-you-can-eat luxury sushi experience. Initially, there was a stumble with the requirement to "become friends on LINE to place an order," but now you can simply order through the touch panel. Great service, great taste. I will definitely visit again. Thank you very much.

Recently, a sushi restaurant from Tokyo has come to Kyoto. Welcome, Onodera from Ginza. It's delicious as usual, but considering the price, the cost performance is not good. There were even some bad quality ingredients. From the perspective of someone from the countryside in Kyoto, Ginza is often thought of as a place with delicious high-end restaurants, but maybe it's not really like that?

I tried the new Ginza Onodera revolving sushi at Kawaramachi. The recommended maguro (tuna) from Yamazuki was delicious. However, the toro (fatty tuna) lacked the expected richness, which was disappointing as I love toro. The uni (sea urchin) was tasty. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively, and it didn't feel intimidating. Thank you for the meal.

I went to experience a high-end conveyor belt sushi restaurant that had opened up. The building used to be a drugstore, and the first floor was renovated into the restaurant. The space is a bit narrow, with the counter and the back wall being close together, making it difficult for people to pass by each other. Inside the restaurant, there are counters on both sides, so the space feels cramped. The sushi is very delicious, although some dishes may look different from the photos. The prices also feel a bit high, even though they use two-tiered conveyor belts to save on costs. Despite the lively and fun atmosphere created by the energetic staff, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was a bit overpriced. The restaurant is great for those looking for a quick bite or to unwind with food and drinks. I might not become a regular, but I won't rule out returning in the future. Overall, the food is really delicious!

On Saturday at 1:30 pm, we were able to enter without waiting at Sushiro. Even after we entered, a few customers arrived, but it never reached full capacity, with over 60% of the seats always occupied. Orders are placed using a touch panel. It was disappointing that many items were sold out, such as Tekka Maki and Toro Taku. The sushi rice, although cooled with red vinegar, was to my liking compared to other sushi places in the same price range. One thing that bothered me was that the wasabi amount was not adjusted based on the type of topping, so even low-fat toppings had plenty of wasabi, making my eyes water. There were some serving mistakes and forgotten orders, suggesting that the staff may not be fully trained yet. The restroom was too stylish, making it hard to find. The private rooms are separated by gender, but there is only one room for each, which is disappointing. The sushi itself was not bad compared to others in the same price range, and if it's nearby, I might go occasionally. However, it didn't have the level of deliciousness or cost-effectiveness that would make me go out of my way to visit. It might be a good place for foreign visitors or for casual recommendations.

I recently went to this restaurant because it had just opened. The sushi was really good! They call it revolving sushi, but the plates don't actually go around. Instead, the dishes you order are brought to you on a conveyor belt. The ikura was brought to us by the staff. If you go expecting a traditional revolving sushi experience, you might find it quite expensive. It felt like there was a mismatch between the concept of a revolving sushi restaurant and the actual experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very upscale, but the staff's loud voices made it feel more like a casual izakaya. Despite this, the sushi itself was delicious and worth the price.

The restaurant has lanes going up and down, where you can order through a touch panel and the sushi chefs in the back will make the sushi and send it down the lanes to your table. It's a type of sushi restaurant where the sushi doesn't actually rotate on a conveyor belt. The tuna from Yamazuki that I was looking forward to wasn't at the level I expected from a famous restaurant, and considering the price, I felt like I didn't really need to order it. The quality of the sushi was just average. If you have kids or are a tourist, you might as well go to places like Sushiro or Kura Sushi. Judging from the interior and the average customer spending, it seems like the main target is inbound tourists. However, since it's rare to find authentic Edomae sushi in Kyoto, I hope they will continue to improve.

I tried the revolving sushi at Onodera in Ginza, which has opened in Kyoto as well. I was in the mood for sushi but didn't make a reservation, and I didn't feel like regular conveyor belt sushi either. It was perfect for those times when you want to eat sushi freely without worrying about the cost. Even though I ordered freely, it only cost me around 6000 yen per person. The sushi came out quickly and both the taste and cost performance were good.

On the third day of opening, I visited the restaurant at 12:30 and was easily guided to a seat. Although there were empty seats, I was encouraged to sit closer to others. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the taste of the sushi was excellent. Each plate cost around 500-600 yen, which is about 3-4 times the price of regular conveyor belt sushi, but considering the quality of the sushi, it was quite affordable. As someone who cannot go to the main branch of Onodera, I am very grateful. For those living in Kyoto, it seems like a popular choice to go for delicious sushi as a little treat.

Expanding to 13 stores in 5 regions around the world, "Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera" has earned Michelin stars at 3 of its locations. Under the thorough supervision of "Sushi Ginza Onodera," they serve traditional Edo-style sushi with attention to detail in a conveyor belt sushi style. The second location in Japan, located in Kyoto Kawaramachi, offers a variety of sushi using carefully selected Kyoto ingredients such as tuna from Toyosu wholesaler "Yamako," as well as dishes like conger eel and yuba. Orders can be placed using a touch panel. Don't miss out on their specials like "Yamako Tuna Akami" (1 piece for 310 yen), "Yamako Tuna Chutoro" (1 piece for 510 yen), "Squid" (2 pieces for 440 yen), "Bonito" (2 pieces for 530 yen), and "Yamako Tuna Tekkamaki" (500 yen). They are also set to open in Shinsaibashi in October, so keep an eye out!
