I stopped by after the fireworks festival. I thought it was just a counter, but there were tables in the back, and the interior was clean as it was new. Recently, there have been various issues with conveyor belt sushi, but ordering with a tablet and the attentive service of the staff made it a pleasant experience. It was convenient when you want to eat quickly, and the food was quite delicious. Thank you for the meal!

On this hot day, I felt like having a little snack while on the move. I walked through the door of this shop. I was led to a clean table for two inside. There were two lanes. The top lane had a straight conveyor belt for ordering items. The bottom lane had the traditional rotating belt, where recommended menu items with comments, as well as condiments like wasabi and shichimi, flowed by. I looked at the items coming down the lane and ordered the dish shown in the photo on the tablet (+ pickled ginger). The sushi rice was seasoned with red vinegar, and the toppings had unique flavors, showing a slightly more upscale approach compared to the usual kaiten sushi restaurants like Kappa Sushi.

In the Kanto region, there are many "Kaiten Sushi Misaki" restaurants. I wanted to eat sushi, so I searched for "Kaiten Sushi Akabane" and found this place, so I visited! Around 3 pm on a weekday, there were many people walking outside, but the restaurant was empty, maybe due to the time. The staff greeted me with a cheerful "Welcome!" The sushi is not rotating, but you order using an electronic panel. Since it was not busy, the sushi arrived quickly on the conveyor belt. Every piece of sushi was delicious, especially the fatty tuna! The only downside was that the miso soup didn't have a strong dashi flavor. The hospitality of the staff was wonderful, and I enjoyed the sushi comfortably. Thank you for the meal.

I visited "Kaiten Sushi Misaki Akabane Store" around 11 o'clock on a certain day in November 2022. The restaurant is located about a 2-minute walk from Akabane Station. The cozy interior of the restaurant had about 7 or 8 customers already seated. I sat at the counter alone and placed my order using the touch panel in front of me. I started with a Red Squid Nigiri for ¥176, which was a classic and satisfying choice. The size of the sushi was just right and it came with pickled ginger, which I enjoyed. I also ordered a Fish and Clam Miso Soup for ¥308, which had yellowtail in it. I was a bit disappointed that the scales were not completely removed and there weren't many clams in the soup, but the flavor of the broth itself was good. I then tried the Special Negitoro Roll for ¥231, which had chopped green onions on top of the fatty tuna. The generous amount of negitoro was satisfying, and the sweetness of the tuna was delightful. I couldn't resist ordering the Salmon Oshizushi for ¥176, which had a perfect balance of flavors and a good size. Lastly, I tried the Smoked Salmon Nigiri for ¥121, which had a nice smoky flavor and was a great value for the price. Overall, "Misaki" has upgraded not only its appearance but also its taste. The restaurant offers a good value for the money and the dishes are satisfying. The staff members standing behind the counter were polite and provided good service, making it a pleasant experience at this kaiten sushi restaurant.

The 500 yen sake is too cheap! It cost 3,000 yen with my wife! You can have a sashimi platter for 800 yen and sake for 500 yen, making it a great deal. The fried horse mackerel was delicious and the sushi was thick. It's nice to have more options between Sushizanmai and this place.

Visited today in October 2022, decided to take a break from volunteering and went to Akabane for some cigarette shopping before dinner. Had revolving sushi for the first time in a while. Nowadays, many revolving sushi places require ordering through tablets, but this one still had sushi going around on the lanes (laughs). The quality of the fish is good, so even though it's a bit pricey, it's worth it. Ordering is the main system, but they also have revolving plates, which is a nice hybrid style. Overall, it's a satisfying experience. Thank you for the meal.

On October 28, 2022, when I exited the east exit of Akabane Station and went straight towards LaLa Garden, I noticed a new conveyor belt sushi restaurant right before Yoshinoya. The restaurant is called "Misaki" and it seems to be a mid-range conveyor belt sushi place. It's been about three months since I last visited Akabane's bustling area, and it seems like there are always new dining establishments opening up. Misaki is a subsidiary of Kyotaru, which is affiliated with the parent company Sushiro. The prices are a bit higher, but the sushi here is prepared by chefs from cutting the fish to forming the sushi, so the quality is a step above. I tried the following items: - Live scallop (¥550) - Uni wrap (¥474) - Sujiko (¥308) - Medium fatty tuna (¥231) - Fatty tuna (¥308) The total bill came to ¥1,826 for 7 pieces of sushi. While there are more affordable options available, I decided to go for slightly more expensive choices with fewer pieces. The live scallop was fresh and sweet, the uni wrap was delicious, and the quality of the fish roe was excellent. The medium fatty tuna and fatty tuna were also top-notch, with a noticeable difference in richness between the two. Overall, Misaki offers a higher level of sushi compared to its parent company Sushiro, albeit at a higher price point. Despite not feeling overly full after the meal, the balance of flavors and portions made it a satisfying dining experience. If you're willing to spend around ¥5,000, Misaki also offers a sashimi platter and can be a great option for a group gathering.

Recently, in various towns, "Kaisen Misaki Port" is gradually changing to "Kaiten Sushi Misaki". I am somewhat concerned about this. I cannot help but have doubts about whether it is worth investing money in it at this time. At the same time, I wonder if modern people have misunderstood the phrase "Simple is best". Personally, I don't really like things like "Muji" or "Uniqlo". I appreciate the beauty of monotone, but I think using "Simple is best" as an escape is a bad idea. I consider it a design abandonment. Concrete houses with exposed concrete may look cool, but I think it's a form of giving up. I might be digging my own grave, but my icon is something like The Beatles' White Album. I used to use the face of my favorite musician when I first started using Tabelog. However, I was pointed out about copyright issues in the reviews. So I changed my icon to what it is now. However, there was no response after presenting the challenge. I fell asleep with this draft half-written. I'm not sure how I was planning to develop it. I remember feeling that the taste had deteriorated after "Kaisen Misaki Port" changed to "Misaki". That's why I used various "Kaisen Misaki Port" in different towns before, but I have only visited this restaurant since it changed to "Misaki". I took a photo of the soy sauce bottle to appreciate the cleanliness of this Kyoto Taru Group. It's different from restaurants like "Hama Sushi" that use many soy sauce or the "Katsu" series of Midori Sushi that use soy sauce processed products instead of soy sauce. Using soy sauce imitations with bonito extract or kelp extract, among other things, only makes children and young people tasteless. It's different if you think the aftertaste of squid or flounder sushi is good with the umami of bonito or kelp. I also felt that this restaurant had lowered the quality of the ingredients, so it was a warning in a way, hoping it wouldn't go that way.

Visited around 8:00 pm on Thursday, September 22, 2022. The restaurant is located a 2-minute walk from JR Akabane Station on the bus street of Akabane Ichiban-gai. It is located in the redevelopment target area of Akabane Station East Exit, which corresponds to the second phase. It seems to be the site of the former FamilyMart convenience store. Construction started, and within a month, this new restaurant opened. The entrance has a cashier on the right side, with counter seats for 12 people in front of it, and table seats lined up at the back, but the exact number of seats is unknown. The data of the restaurant before my review showed 0 reviews and no rating. There were many customers already inside, with over 10 people waiting. The restaurant was operated by about 5 staff members, both male and female. There is a paper with the restaurant name in katakana, number of people, and preferred seating type at the front, and after filling it out, a female staff member asked a group of 3 men who were waiting if it was okay to seat a single person first before guiding me to a counter seat near the entrance. Under the chair, there is a basket for personal belongings, but my business bag did not fit, so a female staff member placed it next to the chair. Paper napkins and disposable chopsticks are provided on the table. Sushi is rotating on a lane in front, and orders can also be placed using a touch panel on the table. The price of dishes is determined by the color of the plate, such as 110 yen (excluding tax), 160 yen (excluding tax), 210 yen (excluding tax), and when ordering through the touch panel, the plate color seemed to be fixed as white. I ordered "Sake (cold) 528 yen (including tax)" and "Sashimi 3-piece assortment 528 yen (including tax)". The food was served quickly, and it was not stressful. The sake was a single serving of 180ml. The sashimi assortment included 2 pieces each of tuna, red snapper, and squid, with wakame seaweed under shiso leaves. I expected more from the sashimi assortment. It felt like the sashimi assortment at the yakitori restaurant in OK Yokocho for 600 yen (including tax) was more satisfying. I also tried the limited-time menu item "Tuna Otoro Nigiri 1 piece 286 yen (including tax)" available from September 20 to 22. I also ordered "Hamachi 231 yen (including tax)". The tuna otoro was too fatty for me, a middle-aged man over 55... I still prefer lean tuna. But once you put it in your mouth, it melts right away. It's probably a promotion that younger people would appreciate. I also had "Seared eel 374 yen (including tax)", "Salmon 176 yen (including tax)", "Red snapper 308 yen (including tax)", and "Mebachi maguro 176 yen (including tax)". All the fish slices were thick, more than double the thickness of "Kura Sushi" or "Hama Sushi". With this quality, I thought it could be classified as nigiri sushi rather than conveyor belt sushi. I was impressed and became a fan instantly. If the quality is at this level, I think it's acceptable as conveyor belt sushi. I ordered another serving of cold sake. I also received a voucher for one free plate of sushi at the time of payment. Looking at other customers, it seemed like everyone was paying over 3,000 yen per person. There was only one person in the 2,000 yen range. People who set a limit of 1,000 yen per person probably wouldn't visit, so I was able to enjoy a leisurely drink. I'm sure the nearby Kura Sushi was crowded with families, especially on weekends. The total bill for the day was 3,025 yen. Thank you for the meal.
