I heard it was cost-effective so I went, but there was a line in front of the store! The store is compact so the distance between seats is a bit close. The three-roll lemon salt was delicious ◎ The shiny items were also delicious. The ark shell was okay. It was cost-effective and delicious, thank you for the meal!

Let's have sushi in Ueno! When my friend searched for a sushi restaurant, the only option that came up was a counter-only place. They squeezed us in and accommodated our group of 8, including children. The prices ranged from affordable to expensive, and although it's a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, there are several chefs right in front of you making the sushi. You can order using a touch panel, which is convenient. The lineup of the touch panel was a bit unique, making it a bit challenging to find the dishes we wanted. They have options like natto rolls and corn for kids. Oh, and be careful because wasabi is automatically added to the sushi unless you select "no wasabi"! The medium fatty tuna battleship sushi was only 110 yen each, which was a pleasant surprise as they were loaded with toppings. The assorted tuna plate was enjoyable, and they even served chawanmushi and sushi topped with panda-shaped seaweed. The staff was attentive, offering to remove wasabi when we forgot to request it. They also gave the kids sushi-shaped candy at the end. With a middle school boy, a preschooler, and one adult, the bill came to just under 7000 yen. My son was trying to be considerate of the cost, but if we had gone all out, it may have been a bit more expensive.

I remember once thinking about trying it. Due to the daily long lines before the pandemic, I had lost interest in visiting. Even at revolving sushi restaurants, there are several branches under different names, all featuring "Maguro-donya" at the beginning of their names. They seem to emphasize the strength of "Maguro-donya" in their sourcing. I was hesitant about what to do... I've been searching for a dining place for over five years now, almost every day. There aren't many options in Ameyoko as it's more of a drinking area. Many places didn't appeal to me, and I only trusted my own experiences. That might have been my mindset, which made me hesitate. There were no lines in front of "Miura Misaki Port." I realized that this area only has "Sushiro" as the major revolving sushi chain. Recently, "Hama Sushi" opened near Akihabara station, but it seems to be treated as more of a downtown establishment. Come to think of it, there are few family restaurants around here. Only one place has a "revolving card"!! I recently tried "Kaiten Sushi Oedo" only. Maybe it's good for those who want to try a little bit of everything. I stood in front of the restaurant pondering for quite some time... in this heat for about three minutes. It took about eight minutes to get inside, and soon the place was bustling with customers. I couldn't decide... I ended up choosing a safe option, the squid three-kind assortment. It's a good way to confirm whether it's worth revisiting. It wasn't enjoyable... I remember the recent revolving sushi experience being more interesting. This time, I wanted to assess the quality of the sushi, especially the tuna. There was "Maguro" and "mebachi" on the menu, so I wondered if Miura Misaki Port mainly serves mebachi. But later, I found out that "Hon Maguro" was listed separately on the menu. I made a mistake in overlooking the different menu displays. There was no disappointing sushi, and the "Kaihimo Mentaiko Gunkan" had a fresh and enjoyable taste with a good texture. I realized that the good thing about revolving sushi is the new initiatives. The "Maguro Hikkaki Gunkan" and "Maguro Nakaochi Gunkan" were the highlights here. This place's specialty reminded me of the "Tuna Tekomori" and "Maguro Nakaochi Gunkan." The overflowing and generous portions of tuna were impressive, and it was only 110 yen per piece. It was surprising that it was only 121 yen including tax. This is the selling point of "Maguro-donya Miura Misaki Port" – two large pieces of tuna for 121 yen. This is something that local sushi places cannot offer. The sign said, "Please stack the plates by color." Even though I didn't eat much, the table was filled with eight different colored plates. It didn't bother me, but the system required us to keep the plates until the end. In the past, it used to be like that, but now they calculate the bill electronically. They collect the plates halfway through. I unintentionally stacked up the plates, so that was how it ended. "The bill, please." I paid with five small bills and left. I felt like I could come back again. It didn't give me a sense of certainty... maybe because of the heat...

When I entered the restaurant, it was full of foreign tourists. The mountain of sushi rolls looked impressive in photos, but the taste was mediocre... The fish was a bit dry and disappointing, considering the initial impact. Personally, it's not a place I would want to visit again.

I went there on Sunday just before noon. I was a little late, so I had to wait for the first round. There were about five groups lined up in front of me. It seems like there are many foreign customers. You write down your order on paper and hand it over. It seems like the staff are a bit overwhelmed, so the ordering process is a bit awkward. However, the sushi is delicious. Each piece has a good volume of toppings and is satisfying to eat. This restaurant offers classic sushi toppings. I want to go back again and fully enjoy it. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

I used a national travel support coupon to eat at a restaurant. When I arrived, there were about 4 people waiting in line. After waiting for about 10 minutes, we were able to get inside. I started with a tuna platter (akami, chutoro, otoro), and they were all incredibly delicious. I usually only eat sushi at conveyor belt sushi restaurants, but the sushi here was much better. Especially the otoro, it melted in my mouth instantly. I got hooked and ended up eating 3 plates of it. I also had salmon, anago, and a total of about 10 plates. Everything was very tasty. I also wanted to try the "negitoro gunkan" with lots of green onions, but it was sold out that day. Too bad... The total bill was about 4000 yen, which was a bit pricey for one person. The sushi was really delicious, so I would love to go back again when I have more money to spare. This time, I was saved by the travel support coupon.

Tuna was okay, but the tuna three-piece assortment was good. However, the cheek meat was overcooked and cold, so I wouldn't recommend it. The sashimi assortment had a slightly fishy taste to the mackerel. The horse mackerel was okay. But when I ordered just the horse mackerel separately, it had a stringy texture and a fishy smell, so it seems hit or miss. The seared saury was average. The conger eel was served in a large mound on sushi rice, which was difficult to handle. The eel seemed to have been soaked in something during storage, making it watery. If they drained the excess liquid, it might have been better. The sushi rice was not enough for the seared sushi, and the fish itself seemed watery. The crab miso in the three-piece assortment was average. The sea urchin was a bit smelly and unremarkable. The salmon roe was small but decent. The yellowtail was tasty. The burdock roll was soft and sweet, probably made differently than usual. The soft sushi rice added to the overall soft texture, which wasn't to my liking. The chawanmushi was bland, almost like it was made from a mix. I wanted a clear soup, but they only had crab soup, so I didn't order it. I won't be visiting again.

Close to Ueno Station, under the guard. There seem to be more foreigners than last time I came here... It was full, so I sat on a chair outside and waited a bit. When I looked at the menu... there are some reasonably priced items, so don't miss them. The tuna medium fatty tuna was generously served and so high! No matter how many times I eat it, it has a powerful volume. It was delicious!

I visited before 11:00 on Sunday and was able to enter without waiting. I first ordered the limited 110 yen tuna gunkan with plenty of tuna. It was so much that I finished my beer just with that. The tuna was delicious and the cost performance was excellent. Next, I had the anago gunkan that was going around. It was also very generous in portion. I enjoyed the anago with some sake, and finished with the rice. The assorted gunkan with three varieties was also delicious and well-portioned. This is a must-visit restaurant for those who love to drink with fish and finish with rice.

In Ueno Okachimachi, let's go on a standing drinking tour! The fourth stop today! Shall we sit down already!? (laughs) After eating meat, let's have some fish! With that in mind, we entered the shop called "Miura Misaki Port." As soon as we entered the shop, the plates were already lined up in front of us! (laughs) We didn't even need to look at the menu this time! Today's menu: - Highball 440 yen x 2 - Tuna medium fatty tuna gunkan 110 yen x 2 - Fresh bonito 250 yen x 2 - Wild yellowtail 180 yen x 2 Cheers for the fourth time today. How many drinks have we had today!? Sushi: "Tuna medium fatty tuna gunkan" There are many great deals around Ueno Okachimachi. This gunkan roll with plenty of tuna on top is amazing for only 110 yen! We'll break the top part and enjoy it as a snack. Delicious! "Fresh bonito" Moist and tender fresh bonito! It has a delicious taste, very good. "Wild yellowtail" It has a moist texture and a rich flavor. Editor's note: - The tuna that flowed out later looks more delicious!? - Every shop has fun ideas and efforts that can be felt. Ratings: Overall: 3.5 Taste: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3.5 Cost performance: 4 Drinks: 3 Thank you for the delicious sushi. Bon appétit! Next time, it's all about the mountain of menu items only. That's it for today. Heading home early.

It's Saturday afternoon now. I've been feeling sluggish since morning, but managed to go for a 4km walk to do some shopping, then did some laundry, followed by yoga. After returning from yoga, I had lunch, did some cleaning, ironing, and now I'm finally having a little relaxation time. I'm starting to feel sleepy, but I still have a doctor's appointment in the afternoon and I feel like I haven't walked enough today. I'm wondering what I'm doing with myself. Anyway, as a change of pace, I decided to post on Eatery Log. I took some time off on Friday and escaped to Ueno Station in Panda Town. Ueno has many long-established Western-style eateries, eel restaurants, and delicious food, but lately I haven't been able to keep up with my desire to eat. I've also been cutting back on sweets, and it's been tough in many ways. In the past, I would have gone for eel, traditional tonkatsu, or old-fashioned Western-style food, but now it's a bit too much for me. So, I thought, how about a conveyor belt sushi place where I can adjust the portion size? Plus, I recently discovered a love for tuna, so a conveyor belt sushi place with delicious tuna sounds good to me. I have two monthly dates with friends (more like getting together as women, chatting about anything and everything over food) which are my happiest times. Being with female friends is so nice. Statistically, women with partners tend to live longer. I think having happy and enjoyable friends is what makes me happy. I enjoy being alone, living a simple and careful life, having fun with friends, working three days a week, and staying healthy. This is my ideal retirement. I don't want to inconvenience young people, so when I can no longer take care of myself, I want to peacefully pass away. Now, at 5:00 pm, we stopped by this place. My friend and I sat side by side at the counter. Depending on the time, there can be a long wait due to its popularity, but during the pandemic, it was quite empty at 5:00 pm on a weekday. And by chance, there were many women at that time. I had the specialty dish of medium fatty tuna battleship sushi (lots of it and satisfying, but with some sinew. A must-eat dish for 110 yen), ara-jiru (not much ara and a bit disappointing), three types of light sushi (thin toppings and a bit disappointing), tuna with truffle salt (with sinew and somewhat disappointing), and conger eel battleship sushi (so delicious! A score of 20!). I was mesmerized by a beautiful woman eating sushi in silence at the counter. Despite saying that I couldn't keep up with my desire to eat and that my body was exhausted on a Friday evening, and I was feeling worn out from work, I ended up going to two more places after this. I messed up (°∀°). Sunday -> No sweets Monday -> No sweets Tuesday -> No sweets Wednesday -> Ice cream after dinner Thursday -> No sweets Friday -> Went on a sweets binge Just so you know, today Saturday, I ended up having dessert after lunch as well. We're only human...justifying it to myself.

Weekend in Ueno. My friend wanted to eat tonkatsu, but I wanted to eat eel, so we couldn't agree on a place and ended up here. On the way, I thought maybe Western food would be better if we were in Ueno... I wasn't really feeling this place, but sushi seemed like a better choice after all. I saw a review for a mountain of gunkan sushi and thought it looked interesting. So, how was it in the end? I've been to many sushi restaurants before and always thought that raw fish is delicious no matter what, but I realized that it might not be the case on this day. We ordered three mountain gunkan sushi - one with conger eel, one with tuna, and one with shrimp. We also ordered fatty tuna, seared mackerel, seared tuna cheek, chawanmushi, and bonito sashimi. The conger eel mountain gunkan and the others in the photo were for my friend. I was more reserved. We were full, but considering the price was in the 2000 yen range, I think I should have been more reserved. In terms of taste, the best was the chawanmushi, followed by the mackerel, and then the shrimp gunkan. The fish meat felt tough overall. The conger eel and fatty tuna seemed watery. Visually, the mountain gunkan and bonito were interesting. Also, the distance between the counter and the seating was a bit far, so when they handed us the large ladle, it added to the atmosphere. This place seems to be quite crowded during peak times, both during the day and at night. It's near the entrance to Ameya-Yokocho in Ueno, under the elevated tracks. We arrived at 5 pm, and even though it was still bright outside, Ameya-Yokocho was bustling with diners. However, there were only two women and one person inside the restaurant when we entered. More customers gradually came in. I remember reading in a review that "you'll be mesmerized by the beautiful women at the counter," but there were only women there, and none of them seemed particularly beautiful. Maybe it was referring to me. Oh, it's a conveyor belt sushi place, but I'm not sure if it's for infection prevention, but the plates weren't really rotating, and we had to write our orders on paper. We had to write the names of the sushi instead of a number. Sometimes I struggled with writing kanji. It was hard to figure out when to hand in the paper. I prefer touch screen ordering systems. Despite being a big fan of conveyor belt sushi, I just couldn't get excited about this place. I still want to eat eel. I did eat it the next day, on Saturday. But that's a story for another time.

A typhoon was approaching and it coincided with the Bon festival. I arrived at Maguro Toya Miura Misaki Port Ueno Main Store, a gourmet conveyor belt sushi restaurant, 10 minutes before the 10:30 opening time and managed to secure the pole position. I was guided to a seat at the back of the counter as the first customer. Among the limited items available only at the Ueno Main Store, I ordered two medium fatty tuna battleships for 110 yen each, a seafood battleship for 390 yen, and an engawa battleship for 490 yen, along with an eel battleship for 350 yen. The pickled ginger was served on a small plate, and hot tea was poured from a hot water dispenser as I waited. I enjoyed picking out the oversized parts of the battleships that were brought one after another and creating my own custom-sized battleships with the toppings. I drizzled wasabi soy sauce over them, added some pickled ginger, and enjoyed them deliciously. After finishing my meal, I moved on to the next restaurant for another round of eating.

I had some free time on Saturday at 1:00 PM and entered the restaurant. It only took about 15 minutes for it to become full of customers. The battleship sushi was delicious! It's a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, but you can also order by writing on paper. The service was fast! I ate 5 plates and was full. It cost around 1500 yen. I was very satisfied!

For lunch, I decided to go for some sushi. This place is usually crowded with a line outside, but today being a weekday before noon, I was able to walk right in. The menu offers a selection of "slightly upscale conveyor belt sushi." The neighboring Oedo Sushi seems to cater to a more casual crowd. The tuna lacked any distinctive flavor, and the Negitoro sushi tasted like a pre-packaged product. The shrimp and squid were also typical conveyor belt sushi quality. The shrimp had a decent flavor due to the head meat, but the octopus, despite being advertised as special, lacked flavor. The recommended menu item, Mebaru, was also lacking in flavor. The bonito lacked freshness and color. As lunchtime approached, the counter filled up, and there were complaints from a middle-aged man due to multiple order mistakes, affecting the atmosphere. Given the location, the "Misaki tuna, unique and slightly different toppings" might appeal to first-time visitors. However, if I were to come back, I would definitely choose Oedo Sushi over this place. (Personal opinion)

On 6/26, I went to Maruwa in Takayama, had a drink, and then finished with conveyor belt sushi. The dishes aimed for Instagram-worthy photos were medium fatty tuna gunkan for ¥110 and salmon and salmon roe gunkan for ¥730. Business hours are weekdays 10:30-23:00, weekends and holidays 10:30-22:00, closed on no specific days. Accepts electronic money.

Today, I visited Miura Misaki Port not far from Ueno, feeling like having some tuna. The restaurant was small, and you have to write down your order on paper. When it's not busy, you can just tell them your order. I recommend getting the tuna and a mountain of gunkan sushi. The sushi was delicious and had a good amount of filling. The white fish and shrimp gunkan sushi were also good. The miso soup was rich and warming. The amberjack had a nice fatty texture and was tasty. It was interesting to order from the large wooden spoon and interact with the chef across the counter. The elderly staff members were working hard, and watching them interact with the younger female staff member felt like being at home. It was a delightful meal!

In the midst of struggling with the rising prices in recent years, Miura Misaki Port has also seen most of its menu prices increase. However, it is commendable that they are making an effort not to raise the price of their signature dish, the medium fatty tuna battleship sushi. In 2022, during a weekday visit when the rain and the pandemic kept customers away from Ameyoko, I arrived at the restaurant at 12:00 pm to find only myself as a customer. I sat at the counter and handed the chef my order paper with "medium fatty tuna battleship sushi" written on it. The sushi, once finished, was placed on a large wooden spatula and handed to me at my seat, with a slightly different visual appearance from before. While the medium fatty tuna used to have a slightly rough appearance, today it was tightly packed like a rice ball. This made it quite difficult to divide into two pieces. When I tried to pick it up with chopsticks, it crumbled unattractively. I still think this restaurant's battleship sushi is wallet-friendly, but ordering it repeatedly can be a bit embarrassing. If you happen to be in the area on a weekday and find it empty, it's definitely worth stopping by. It was disappointing that the Enoshima branch closed, but I hope the Ueno branch will continue to thrive.

I revisited the "Maguro Wholesaler Miura Misaki Port Ueno Store" near Ueno Station after about 9 years. I used to go there for the "Mountainous Battleship Sushi" but during the peak inbound period, there was always a long line in front of the store, so I naturally stopped going. However, today, it was past 2 pm and there were no customers waiting in line, so I decided to go in after a long time. (There was a line when I left.) Inside the store, there were only counter seats. Sushi was flowing on the conveyor belt, but if it wasn't available, you had to write your order on paper and hand it to the staff. Looking at the menu, of course, prices had changed from 2013 to 2022. The "Enkawa Mountainous Battleship" was now "Enkawa Battleship" for 280 yen, the "Maguro Zuké Mountainous Battleship" was now "Mountainous Pickled Tuna" for 280 yen, the "Sweet Shrimp Mountainous Battleship" was now "Overflowing Sweet Shrimp Battleship" for 490 yen, and the "Salmon and Parent-Child Mountainous Battleship" was now "Salmon and Parent-Child Battleship" for 730 yen. There were small increases and significant increases, while the "Maguro Nakaochi Battleship" remained the same at 110 yen, excluding consumption tax. I had the following dishes: 1. Mountainous Pickled Tuna (280 yen) 2. Maguro Nakaochi Battleship (110 yen) 3. Mountainous Battleship Assortment (490 yen) - Enkawa, Sweet Shrimp, Maguro Nakaochi 4. Maguro Nakaochi Battleship (110 yen) 5. Yellowtail (180 yen) The total was 1,170 yen. The Mountainous Battleship was still generously topped. The rice was on the smaller side, so there was plenty of toppings to enjoy. However, with the increasing number of cheap and delicious conveyor belt sushi restaurants nowadays, my palate has become more discerning, so I didn't feel the same excitement as before, but it was nostalgic. I would like to visit again if I have the chance.

I splurged and ordered only tuna. It was just the right temperature and the staff was polite, wearing gloves while handling the sushi, so it felt hygienic. It's understandable that ordering just bluefin tuna can be a bit pricey. The service was attentive for a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, and I left satisfied.
