This is my first visit! It was hot, so I decided to seek some relief inside a sushi restaurant. I wanted to eat a seafood bowl, but it was too hot... The lunch set with miso soup was reasonably priced, I guess. However, the rice and chu-toro were just okay... Thank you for the meal!

I had the opportunity to go to Ameyoko and decided to have lunch at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. I had 3 pieces of horse mackerel, seasonal bonito, shrimp tail, tuna, and burdock roll. The price was reasonable, and it was a conveyor belt sushi restaurant with a diverse international atmosphere.

After eating a hamburger, I felt like having some sushi, so I stopped by this place. It's not about eating until you're full at a reasonable price, but rather about enjoying some delicious sushi without breaking the bank compared to a sushi counter. I started with "white squid" and "gas shrimp". They don't usually serve decent white squid or gas shrimp at a conveyor belt sushi place, but here they were both delicious. The white squid doesn't lose much flavor even when frozen, so it might be possible to offer it at this price point by buying in bulk when prices are down. Next, I tried "green shellfish" and "shrimp". Both were priced at ¥450 per plate (excluding tax), which may be on the higher side for conveyor belt sushi, but it's reasonable for eating at the counter. The quality of the fish was good. The shrimp was Vannamei, but it was well-prepared in-house with a good balance of sweet vinegar. I was tempted by the "white sea bream" on the menu, but I wasn't in the mood for white fish, so I ended with a tekka maki. However, the roll didn't arrive even after waiting for a while due to the restaurant being full, so I decided to skip it and pay the bill. During the state of emergency, I was a bit worried to see the shutters closed for so long, so it was reassuring to see the place bustling with customers. I used to find the front staff a bit pushy in the past, but it's great to see the energy back in the restaurant.

I visited "Kaitenzushi Edokko Ueno Ekimae" around 1 pm on a certain day in December 2020. Located just a 2-minute walk from Ueno Station, the restaurant had a cozy interior with about 5-6 customers already seated. I sat at the counter and placed my order using the touch panel. Here are the dishes I tried: - Asari Soup (¥180): A delicious miso soup with high-quality, large clams. You could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. - Kohada (¥250): I started with Kohada sushi, which had a generous portion and great flavor. - Live Mirugai (Geoduck) (¥450): This restaurant is known for its clam sushi, and the geoduck had a fantastic texture. - Warasa (¥140): An amazing deal at ¥140 for such quality. The Warasa had a rich flavor with a refreshing taste. - Toro Takuan Hosomaki (¥250): A well-balanced roll with tuna and pickled radish. The rich taste makes you want more. - Kappa Hosomaki (¥140): The cucumber in this roll was just right. A high-quality Kappa Maki that you can't resist at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. - Yagara (¥140): The recommended Yagara sushi had a light, refreshing taste befitting a premium fish. Overall, the sushi quality at this conveyor belt sushi restaurant was impressive. While some items were a bit pricey, focusing on the recommended sushi choices will leave you highly satisfied. It wasn't too crowded on this day, so I was able to enjoy my meal comfortably. Being in a competitive area near Ueno Station, this restaurant definitely lives up to its reputation. With its convenient location and high-quality sushi, I look forward to visiting regularly.

A drinking and dining journey from Ueno to Asakusa. This restaurant is a revolving sushi place, but they also offer a light drinking set. I think it was 490 yen before tax. It includes 3 pieces of sashimi and a drink. The sashimi was sea bream, sardine, and minced tuna with green onions. The sea bream was particularly good, with a nice thickness and delicious taste. The sardine had a good amount of fat and thickness. Overall, it was satisfying to get this amount of sashimi with a drink at this price.

The recovering president and I had lunch at the Edokko Ueno Ekimae branch of Kaiten Sushi. We ate medium fatty tuna, sea urchin, Kinmedai, seared salmon, shirasu, amberjack, and scallop. The prices were reasonable and the food was accordingly delicious! It's the president's favorite, so it's likely to become a regular spot for us in the future.

I stopped by at a casual restaurant earlier, but it wasn't satisfying, so I decided to visit this place that I've been curious about. There are many sushi restaurants in this area, but this one doesn't have a line. I came here for the "slightly tipsy set" which includes options like draft beer, green tea highball, lemon sour, etc. You can choose your drink separately. The green tea highball is only 490 yen, but this place offers a selection of shochu like strong or regular, which is great for those who enjoy drinking. Today, I opted for the draft beer at 680 yen, which came with three types of sashimi. I can't remember all the fish, but the freshness seemed lacking. So I added a single piece of conger eel as an extra snack. Overall, the experience was not as I had imagined, so I left early. It's a good deal if you're looking for a strong drink at 490 yen.

It started pouring rain, so I decided to take shelter and visit this place. It was mid-afternoon, but surprisingly there were quite a few people at this conveyor belt sushi restaurant. I ordered from the menu using the touch panel. First, I got the Tipsy Set for 490 yen, which came with three types of sashimi on a plate and a drink. It was a great deal. I chose a strong green tea highball to go with it. The sashimi had white fish and some bones, but it didn't bother me. I also tried the Lunch Set for 500 yen, which included 5 pieces of sushi and soup. The sushi was a good size for snacking. It was a bit disappointing that some of the sushi overlapped with what I had in the Tipsy Set. Overall, it's a nice place to enjoy some fish and drinks casually near the station. The staff also did a good job explaining the sushi when serving.

After drinking to my heart's content at a nearby beer bar, I came here. Although it's originally a revolving sushi restaurant, it seems that on the second floor, you can order and have the dishes brought to you. The sushi is generally reasonably priced. A plate with three pieces of premium brand salmon "Gin-oh" and a plate with three pieces of fatty tuna, medium fatty tuna, and lean tuna are in the 500 yen range. A plate with three pieces of live ark shell is in the 400 yen range, and the toppings are solid and quite good. The one-piece eel sushi was deliciously tender and fluffy! I also shared live scallops, salmon roe, squid legs, and fatty octopus with my companions, spending around 3,000 yen per person. The rice portions are large, and my stomach was full. I did think that the toppings overall lacked shine, but given the time of day, I can compromise to a certain extent. Another thing is the service. It's not that the staff were rude, but there were quite a few mistakes made by the foreign staff. Also, perhaps because this place is specialized for solo diners, it was disappointing that they didn't have a selection of bottled Japanese sake or shochu. Thank you for the meal.

On Friday night around 8 o'clock, I initially planned to go to a restaurant three doors down but found over 10 people waiting outside, as expected. So, I decided to head back to the station and as I was walking, I noticed a sign that read "Edokko". I was surprised to see it there, but apparently, there are several "Edokko" restaurants clustered around Kanda Station. I decided to give it a try. The first floor with the conveyor belt sushi was full, so I was seated on the second floor. I've been to Kanda a few times, and the portion sizes at Edokko never disappoint.

I think the quality of this sushi at this price is high. I visited alone on a Sunday afternoon around 12 o'clock. It wasn't very crowded, so I was seated right away. The turnover rate is high, so even if you have to wait, the wait time is short. As a lover of shellfish, I was thrilled with the variety of shellfish available. The red clam and surf clam each came with 2 pieces of meat and 1 piece of string for 450 yen, which was a great deal. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and the size of the rice was just right. The building looks old, so it may be a bit intimidating to enter, but they have staff outside calling people in, which made it easy for me to enter. I plan to go back again.

I was thinking of going to "Aji no Fue" after having some drinks at "Bunraku" and doing some adult snacking at "Ooyama", but I noticed a revolving sushi restaurant called "Edokko" that caught my eye. This chain restaurant, "Edokko", is something I have never seen in Kanagawa or the western part of Tokyo, so it piqued my interest. Looking at the menu displayed outside, they had a set called "slightly tipsy set" which seemed good for drinking. So, I decided to go in. I first ordered the slightly tipsy set, choosing a lemon sour. It came with a 3-piece sashimi platter and a lemon sour for 550 yen. The sashimi didn't seem too fresh and left me with a mediocre impression. I thought about leaving after trying a few pieces of sushi. I ordered nigiri sushi with medium fatty tuna and seared salmon. These were decent, nothing special. The total bill came to 1410 yen (excluding tax). I didn't note down the prices of the nigiri, but looking at the receipt later at home, it was listed as follows: Green plate - 750 yen, Orange plate - 300 yen, Black plate - 360 yen (all excluding tax). I assume the nigiri was on a green plate? And what about the slightly tipsy set? Maybe a combination of orange and black plates? Around 660 yen? The set with the lemon sour should have been 550 yen. Overall, I was left with a somewhat underwhelming impression. It seems that the demand for a drinking-friendly revolving sushi restaurant may not be high in Ueno, where there are already many places to drink.

Walking north on Ameyoko, we have reached Ueno Station. Underneath the train tracks, there are three conveyor belt sushi restaurants lined up: Kaiten Edokko, Ooedo, and Kaisen Misaki Port. Kaisen Misaki Port always seems to have a line, popular among foreign tourists. I don't feel like having sushi in Ameyoko. I've been to Edokko in Kanda before. Edokko is a well-known place in Kanda, so maybe they are reliable here in Ameyoko too. The impression is neutral, not necessarily bad, so I'll go with Edokko. An older man is luring customers in by holding a cat's paw. Let's see, which one to choose? Well, let's give it a try. Surprisingly small place, but it might be just the right size for a business like this. Ah, it's a touch-screen order system everywhere. The plates flowing by are covered, so they don't seem too dry. Hmm, let's see, what do I want? Can't really enjoy it alone, maybe this isn't the right place for that. What's the safest option? Not sure what to pick on my first visit... The portions seem big, the color is peachy pink - "Negitoro." Somehow drawn to it, maybe that's the safe choice... Hmm, despite the color, it tastes light, maybe Bintcho or something... "Tsubugai." Come to think of it, the Tsubugai at conveyor belt sushi places seems like a substitute shellfish. Safe choice, why not "Aji"? Maybe I wasn't really looking for something delicious... Hmm, feeling doubtful about why I came in. It was all noodles, where's the sushi rice? Is it because it's convenient and on a conveyor belt?... I ordered three plates, but I seem to be concerned about something... As an adult, ordering only three plates... Maybe I should have gone with four plates. Enagawa, it's a safe choice, not bad. The feeling of having safely completed my visit to the restaurant. Let's leave quickly. Paid with small bills and got two red coins... Four plates, 8 pieces, not enough but... Feeling like it's enough. Maybe it would have been safer to just have a set meal instead? A sense of safety... or something like that.

I have been to the Edokko in Kanda before, but this was my first time at the Ueno branch. I stopped by quickly before going to see the cherry blossoms in Ueno Park. First, I tried the "slightly tipsy set" that had been getting a lot of buzz. It's an amazing deal - you get a selection of sashimi and a drink for a very reasonable price. The sashimi alone would cost 450 yen at regular price, and a draft beer is 480 yen. But with the set, it's only 680 yen! If you're looking for a quick drink or bar hopping, this set is perfect. If you opt for a green tea highball or chu-hai instead, it's only 490 yen. It's a steal! I was satisfied with that, but since I was quite hungry, I also ordered dishes like kinmedai, seared enagawa, and nodoguro. I even added a highball halfway through. The nodoguro was especially delicious, melting in my mouth. They have a wide variety of sashimi and it's a great place for those who love sake too!

On a weekday afternoon with a spring-like atmosphere, I visited the restaurant after 4 pm. The inside was moderately crowded, and by the time I left, it was full. It seems to be a popular place. The crab salad, red mackerel, medium fatty bluefin tuna, fatty salmon, and yellowtail all cost 150 yen each. The bluefin tuna and salmon were served as one piece. Each item was delicious and did not seem like they were all only 150 yen. I especially enjoyed the fatty salmon and yellowtail. The usability also seems good, so I plan to visit again.

Edokko @ Ueno! Kanda Edokko Sushi is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. I had never been there before, so I visited for a casual drink. The first floor is your typical conveyor belt sushi floor, but the second floor has table seating. Orders on the second floor are done through a touch panel, which I found convenient. The highlight for me was the "slightly tipsy set" - a sashimi platter (3 types) with a green tea highball or shochu highball for 490 yen, which is a great price. Beer is 680 yen, just FYI. The shochu can be chosen in normal, light, or strong, but the strong option seemed similar to the normal one. It was definitely not weak, though, and had a good amount of alcohol. We also ordered the "Jou nigiri" (premium nigiri) for 790 yen for 8 pieces, which is a decent price. I wanted to try the white fish set for 490 yen, but they were out of stock, which was a shame. We also had toro-taku maki, negitoro gunkan, and mentaiko gunkan along with two green tea highballs each, totaling around 4000 yen. It's a bit pricey, a bit cheap, but it's a good option when you want a little sushi after drinking a bit!

When looking for a place to drink alone, stumbled upon a restaurant with the slogan "The Strongest Solo Drinking Conveyor Belt Sushi in Tokyo." They serve hot sake and easy-to-eat fish slices, which may be suitable for solo drinkers, but it's not exactly the strongest. In short, it's just a regular conveyor belt sushi restaurant.

"Edo-Kko" in front of Ueno Station is amazing! Their tipsy set is incredible! For just 490 yen, you get a sashimi platter and a strong green tea highball. It's so budget-friendly... The sashimi was delicious. Thank you for the meal! (￣人￣)

In front of Ueno Station, there is a lively Edo-style revolving sushi restaurant. I was drawn in by the slightly tipsy set displayed outside and decided to enter. Although there is a second floor, the compact revolving lane seemed like it could get crowded with just a few people. However, with tablets available, the facilities were top-notch, giving off a somewhat strange vibe. I ordered the slightly tipsy set with shochu highball verbally. It came with a trio of sashimi, all for only 490 yen. What a bargain! The shochu highball was not too sweet and had a slice of lemon floating in it. It was wonderful. The sashimi included horse mackerel, sea bream, and amberjack, each with the appropriate accompaniments like real wasabi, green onion, and ginger for the horse mackerel. The fish was fresh and delicious. Looking at the tablet menu, I found a variety of sashimi and appetizers, and I was delighted to see my favorite dish, raw sardines, available for 440 yen for about four pieces. It was also delicious. In total, it came to exactly 1,000 yen. I only stayed for less than 30 minutes, but I had a great time enjoying tasty fish and drinks. This is a restaurant I'd like to visit again soon. Thank you for the meal.

A few minutes' walk from Ueno Station is the "Kaitenzushi Edokko Ueno Ekimae" restaurant. The first floor is a revolving sushi restaurant, while the second floor is a regular izakaya with table seats. Despite being crowded on the first floor at 6:00 pm, the second floor was empty. It seems that there are fewer customers using the izakaya section. This restaurant offers fresh seafood at a reasonable price and is convenient to use as an izakaya. Orders are placed using a touch panel, so I quickly ordered the "Tipsy Set" which includes one drink and the "Today's Special Sashimi" for only 490 yen. The drink was a "Green Tea Highball" with the strong option. The sashimi included three types of thick slices and looked delicious. The free pickled ginger was generously served, and I was ready to start drinking. The sashimi was fresh and full of flavor, perfect with alcohol. The cost performance was excellent at 490 yen for a set of alcohol and sashimi. The strong green tea highball evaporated quickly, so I ordered a refill. I also ordered "Simmered Fish" for 300 yen, which looked appetizing. The fish was not as generous due to the price, but the meat was easily picked off with chopsticks and tasted delicious. I then ordered a "Nigiri" sushi, specifically an "Eel Nigiri" for 590 yen, a pricier option on the menu. The eel was soft and easily torn with chopsticks, and the sweet sauce enhanced its flavor. It paired perfectly with the green tea highball. I then ordered a refill of the strong green tea highball. To accompany the nigiri, I ordered a "Negitoro Gunkan" sushi for 250 yen, which was a generous serving. The fatty tuna melted in my mouth, bursting with umami flavors, complemented by the strong green tea highball. Overall, I had a satisfying drinking session at "Kaitenzushi Edokko" with delicious food and drinks, all for around 2000 yen. This izakaya is truly convenient and offers great value for money.
