- Searching for a restaurant has become a daily routine that feels like work these days. Instead of cooking, let's use our bodies more. While wandering through Ameyoko, I found three conveyor belt sushi restaurants lined up under the Ueno station overpass. "Kaiten Sushi Edokko Ueno Ekimae" is a branch of a sushi restaurant from Kanda. And then there's "Gourmet Kaiten Sushi Maguro Toya Miura Misaki Port," which seems to be popular with inbound tourists. In between these two, there's "Oedo Ueno 2nd Store." It seems like a fierce competition in this area. I remember there used to be "Uo Katsu" across the street from these restaurants!! This area is really competitive. This store, "Uo Katsu Okachimachi Matsuzakaya Ekimae Store," is the second branch. I had been avoiding this sushi restaurant for years, but the sight of a not-so-long line in front of the store made me curious. I felt like I wanted to find out why there was a line, even though I couldn't tell if it was just a suspicion. This triggered my visit. The interior of the store is about half the size of "Uo Katsu Okachimachi Matsuzakaya Ekimae Store," with a shorter depth. There was only about half the usual customers, so it didn't have the familiar atmosphere of the other store. It felt like the customer base was different. Maybe they came in because it was empty. I noticed that. I prepared some tea and looked at the menu. They have a good variety of squid and shellfish dishes. Squid, boiled squid, raw geoduck, boiled geoduck, marinated squid, and various types of clams were on the menu. The squid and shellfish menu is extensive. It seems safe and satisfying to enjoy the texture of the food. That's why I didn't feel uncomfortable. For some reason, I felt like I understood the relationship with "Oedo." Checking the quality of tuna is a test for restaurant visits. The "chu-toro" at the restaurant across from "Uo Katsu Okachimachi Matsuzakaya Ekimae Store," which is known for its tuna, was better than expected. It was a bit shocking. Yes, it makes sense. I confirmed my preferences and chose a few dishes freely. It was a nice lunch. Thank you for the meal.

I was walking around looking for a place to have some yakitori and drinks when I saw this restaurant next to Miura Misaki Port. It looked more budget-friendly so I decided to give it a try. I had hokkigai, aji, iwashi, kanpachi, and shiro tori kai. Unlike many conveyor belt sushi places where the sushi is made by robots, here the sushi is handcrafted by skilled chefs. The sushi rice was well-made and the fish was fresh, with the kanpachi being particularly delicious. The shiro tori kai was a bit disappointing, but overall, it was not bad for a conveyor belt sushi restaurant.

The neighboring restaurant serves traditional Misaki-style sushi, while this place offers whale meat and unique sushi toppings. The sardines were incredibly delicious, I had seconds. There were several inbound families dining here. Thank you for the meal, I will definitely come back. The Edo-style restaurant next door was closed, which was a bit disappointing. They weren't serving Crown Curry either.

Low price x Ara-jiru for 190 yen x Relatively not crowded-----------------------------------------------✓ Shari = delicious rice✓ Neta (fish topping) and shari are larger than at other low-priced chain restaurants✓ Open until 10 pm✓ Plates starting at 190 yen, very reasonable✓ Ara-jiru for 190 yen✓ Around 9 pm, surprisingly more empty seats✓ Slightly lacking in cleanliness✓ Seats are narrow• Orders are taken verbally• After 8 pm, more items are sold out• A few foreign customersAfter work around 8 pm, instead of the crowded Kita-Senju area I visited last week, I decided to focus on the Ueno area and try out the Oedo revolving sushi restaurant. While you can always go to more expensive restaurants if you have the money, sometimes it's fun to try out more affordable options like this one in Ueno. What surprised me the most was the 190 yen price for Ara-jiru. I haven't seen anywhere else that can offer it at such a low price. The medium fatty tuna was also delicious and the large shrimp was great too! This time, I wanted to truly savor the flavors so I avoided alcohol, but I left feeling full for less than 2000 yen. With prices like this, I can definitely come back again! I left the restaurant feeling very satisfied. ＼↓ More photos on the blog! ↓／Katsuo Oedo Ueno Branch No line on Friday at 8 pm!! Delicious shari at a low price revolving sushi restaurant Ara-jiru for 190 yen is a great deal!

Before boarding the Tohoku Shinkansen, I visited "Oedo Ueno 2nd Branch" for lunch. It was almost full inside due to lunchtime. The basic price is 190 yen per plate, which is reasonable and good for a quick meal. There were two chefs, and although sushi was rotating on the conveyor belt, most people were ordering and the chefs were making it fresh. They had delicacies like Houbou and Medai, and while preferences vary, the sushi rice could be tastier (I wish they used more sushi vinegar). Overall, great value for money. Thank you for the meal.

(One day's dinner. 2/3) Today's first stop was at "Motsuyaki Den" for some grilled skewers, and the second stop was in search of sushi. We planned to go to "Jiro" standing sushi bar in Ameyoko, but it was full and we couldn't get in. After wandering around a bit, we passed by "Misaki Gyoko" where there was a line outside, possibly due to an increase in foreign tourists. Next to it was a conveyor belt sushi restaurant called "Ooedo" with some empty seats, so we decided to go there. It was 7:30 pm, a busy time for dinner. The restaurant was 90% full, but there was one empty seat at the counter, so we were able to get in. The menu had English translations, indicating it was a tourist spot. We ordered the following: [Menu] - Highball 400 yen - Tuna with Wasabi and Grated Radish 190 yen - Salmon Shabu-Shabu 190 yen - Kohada (Gizzard Shad) 190 yen - Sujiko (Salmon Roe) 240 yen We started with a highball as a substitute for miso soup. It was standard strength and quite good. The tuna with wasabi and grated radish had a strong sinewy texture, and the grated radish had a pickled taste with a strong daikon flavor. The Kohada had a slightly dry texture with a mild acidity, allowing the sweetness of the vinegar rice to stand out. The skin was tough. When the Sujiko arrived, it was on a different colored plate. After checking, we found out the price had increased. When we asked for the Japanese menu again, they mentioned they were fixing it. It seemed there was a discrepancy between the English menu and the actual prices. [Highlight of the Visit] - The highball! Mixing soda with whiskey made by the manufacturer was quite enjoyable. [Editor's Note] - Visit Time Yelp Score: 3.21 - The chef seemed to just make whatever sushi was asked for without much attention to detail. - The raw oyster sushi looked delicious with its large size, but we didn't end up trying it. - There was definitely a strong presence of foreign tourists. [Rating] Overall: 2.9 Taste: 2.5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3 Value: 3.5 Drinks: 3.5 Thank you for the delicious sushi. Itadakimasu! Next time, let's start by looking at the Japanese menu from the beginning. And now, we start walking back home!

The other day, I visited the Oedo Ueno 2nd branch, located a 5-minute walk from Ueno Station, which is known as the rotating sushi restaurant of Ryu Sei 64, a left-handed pitcher from Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. He started playing baseball in elementary school and continued in junior high and high school. He was drafted by the Yomiuri Giants in 2016 and has been playing in the minor leagues since then. In 2020, he switched from an overhand to a sidearm pitching style and had a successful season. In 2021, he suffered a thigh injury but still managed to make it to the first team. This was my second time facing Ryu Sei 64 at this restaurant, and I remembered the location of the restroom on the second floor. My son and I ordered the natto roll with cola and the tuna gunkan with draft beer. It was a memorable reunion with Ryu Sei 64 in the world of rotating sushi.

Light drinking set 600 yen (limited time offer) Today's lunch portion was a bit small, so I started to feel a bit hungry by the time I was heading home. While walking towards Ueno, I spotted a sign for a "light drinking set." It includes 5 daily sushi pieces and a drink for 600 yen, which seems just right to satisfy my hunger. I entered the restaurant at 5:29 PM as planned. In addition to sushi, it seems they also offer appetizers. I ordered the light drinking set with sushi and a highball drink. The order came out very quickly. Today's sushi included squid, fresh shrimp, tuna, salmon, and white fish. I generously dipped the ginger. The sushi here is a bit small, but the toppings are tasty. I didn't feel like eating anything else, so I quickly finished my meal and left the restaurant. It was delicious. Used on the night of May 11, 2022. 3.22

I was lured in by the "Easy Drinking Set" which includes 5 pieces of chef's choice sushi and a drink for 600 yen. This conveyor belt sushi restaurant also offers other appetizers like simmered yellowtail belly and marinated gourd. Each plate of sushi is 160 yen and you can order all of them without rice as appetizers. The sushi itself was decent, but considering the price, it was incredibly cost-effective. I will definitely go back again.

Recently, my favorite revolving sushi restaurant for Saturday lunch. My beloved dog is staying at home, not in the neighborhood, but a little far away. Considering the quality of the fish, it has the best cost performance compared to Sushiro, Kura, Hamazushi, and Kappa. I love the white fish set for 390 yen, and the blue plates are 150 yen each after tax, while the red plates are around 220 yen. The most expensive one is maybe around 300 yen. My favorite toppings are fresh sea urchin, large red shrimp, and large conger eel. Since discovering this revolving sushi restaurant, my beautiful but picky wife now says, "If it's revolving sushi, I prefer Katsu Edo for its cute and cheap offerings!" I have never seen such a revolving sushi restaurant in Kansai, and if sitting at the counter is okay, it's extremely reasonable.

Located under the elevated structure a few minutes from Ueno Station, this revolving sushi restaurant is part of a chain found in Tokyo. I was drawn in by the sign advertising a light drinking set for 550 yen, so I decided to stop by. The set includes 5 pieces of nigiri or 5 slices of sashimi plus a drink of your choice. There is no limit on orders, so I started with sashimi and beer, then moved on to nigiri with another beer. While it is a revolving sushi restaurant, the sushi is hand-rolled by the chefs and served directly to you. The taste is not exceptional, but it is good for the price. It's a great place in Ueno to enjoy some sushi and drinks without breaking the bank. I was fully satisfied with two beers, nigiri, and sashimi for 1,100 yen.

I happened to find this place vacant and decided to enter. The price per plate has gone up to 160 yen, which was a bit disappointing. However, the sushi was still delicious and seemed to offer good value for money. I ordered various items as they had a wide variety of toppings. The drinks were a bit on the expensive side, but the prices were consistent. It's nice to be able to casually enjoy sushi and drinks here. Overall, it was a pleasant experience if it's not too crowded. Thank you for the meal.

I had lunch at the Ueno 2nd branch of Ueno Katsu, and I ate conveyor belt sushi. Since it was my first visit, I chose the lunch set for only 500 yen, which included a drink and 5 pieces of sushi. Overall, the white fish was delicious and the price was just right for a satisfying lunch. It was very tasty. Thank you for the meal.

This day was after a medical check-up. I had to restrict my diet the day before, didn't eat anything in the morning, but everything was fine with the results, so it was time to treat myself. I was debating between yakiniku or sushi based on the crowdedness of the restaurants, and ended up choosing this one. I realized that I still don't have the capacity to eat yakiniku alone like Inokashira Goro from a certain manga. First things first, I ordered a beer. That was a must. One sip, delicious! This is it. Maybe due to the influence of the pandemic or the time of day, the conveyor belt was hardly moving. There was only one chef, but he efficiently handled orders coming from all directions. I was so hungry that I forgot about my beer, that's how absorbed I was in watching his skillful performance. The service was top-notch, with the chef's efficiency earning high points.

In this area, the revolving sushi restaurant has a location advantage. The neighboring "Miura Misaki Port" remains closed. The popular stand curry restaurant "Crown Ace" was also closed. I visited around 5 pm for a late snack. The prices have decreased, with each plate now priced at 137 yen plus tax, down from 149 yen plus tax. The chain restaurant "Oedo" has different pricing systems depending on the location. Despite the neighboring closures, they have chosen to lower their prices, which I appreciate. I prefer lower prices regardless of the marketing strategy. The tuna sushi has improved significantly since my last visit, with a nice hint of iron. The white clam sushi was skillfully made, and I was given a complimentary red clam sushi as they had run out. Both were quite good. The marinated herring roe was salty but not bad. The "Himo" sushi, which may have been listed as "Red Clam Himo" on the menu, was a generous portion of marinated clam. I would love to enjoy it with plenty of soy sauce. The "Striped Jack" was decent, considering the price. The "Conger Eel" was not the finale but a mid-course eel sushi without bones, only wasabi. It was surprisingly well-prepared and delicious. The "Japanese Sea Bass" and "Globe Fish" were the starting point this time. Both were just delicious. The recommended board included horse mackerel, flathead, globe fish, black porgy, black scraper, and sea bream, among others. This restaurant seems to have a wide variety of white fish types outside the regular menu. It's impressive that they can offer these varieties at 137 yen each. Perhaps it's because of the current pandemic situation that such options are available. In any case, the chefs were excellent this time, and overall, the experience was much better than before. I enjoyed 8 plates with 17 pieces in total. 137 yen x 8 = 1,096 yen. Total with tax 1,205 yen. Thank you for the meal. (By Kyonatsu Shuusora, 2021.1.27) (35 reviews/3.22)

After finishing work in Ueno, I felt like having some sushi as a snack, so I visited this place which is conveniently close to the station. The narrow entrance leads to a traditional conveyor belt sushi restaurant. The second floor is the kitchen where they prepare fresh fish, so they have a decent variety of fresh fish toppings (I saw this when using the second-floor restroom). In addition to the standard sushi toppings, they also have recommended daily specials like Houbou, Mejiro, Kurodai, and Kuromutsu. All the fish tasted good and were reasonably priced, so the owner is probably a fish lover. They also have horse sashimi on the menu, which was delicious without any unpleasant smell. The shellfish like Aoyagi and Hokki (not boiled from Canada, but fresh domestic) were also tasty. The boiled octopus was made from boiled skin of Mizudako (not Madako), which was a bit disappointing, but maybe it's a way to maintain a consistent price. It might be good for those who prefer a chewier texture in their octopus. The squid had a nice texture, and the shrimp, although Banamei, still had a good shrimp flavor. The medium fatty tuna was farm-raised, but if you can get to eat real tuna at this price, it's worth it. Unlike the major conveyor belt sushi chains, this place shows effort in their sourcing and toppings. It's a great place to enjoy affordable sushi at a counter in a casual setting.

I think the registration of this chain store's name on Tabelog is messy. This restaurant is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant called "Oedo." Embarrassingly, all three stores in my local Ikebukuro have the word "Katsu" in their names. It's like "Katsu Oedo." While it may seem like it's written that way on the sign, the character "Katsu" is clearly different in color, size, and font, and I think it's just a part of the picture. So, if you're not careful, this restaurant could end up being called "Katsu Gyo Oedo." That's something that can easily be clarified by looking at the restaurant's website, and there is no need to pick up emojis from the sign and register them. Now, about this restaurant. In the world of familiar conveyor belt sushi and standing sushi chain restaurants, names like "Tenka Sushi" and "Uogashi Nihonichi" are common, and there is also a tendency for names like "Kaisen Misaki Port" that can be found anywhere. However, I often use different chains. This "Oedo" restaurant used to have a branch in Tobu Ikebukuro's restaurant district. This restaurant is the second branch in Ueno, located next to Crown Ace's stand curry and Misaki Port. The impression is that one plate costs 149 yen excluding tax, which is clearly inexpensive. The prices at "Oedo" vary depending on the store, and some stores have a tiered pricing system for plates. This store has a uniform plate price, and it's more about whether it's 2 pieces or 1 piece. I start with the recommended board and choose from the center. I start with "Honmaguro Akami." It looks beautiful, but the taste is questionable. I continue with "Kurosoi" and "Houbou." I have experienced Oedo's Kurosoi at another store, and I feel that it brings out good points in terms of price. Lemon was served with Houbou. "Honmaguro Chutoro," which is somewhat more tuna-like than Akami. "Samegarei" has a faint but unique flavor, and I occasionally try it. If you serve it with konbu-jime, it exudes a sense of luxury and rarity. I ordered other items, but it was difficult to place an order at this restaurant. It wasn't just a matter of forgetting the order, but there were shouts coming from each table, so I quickly left the restaurant. Thank you for the meal. I often see that only the neighboring Misaki Port is crowded with customers, while this one is empty, but this time it was a bit crowded, possibly because the neighboring restaurant is closed due to the influence of the coronavirus. It may just be because I'm not used to it. Also, because it's under the guardrail, it shakes quite a bit when trains pass by. The tea had a slight ripple.

I visited during the day on a regular day. The restaurant was about 60-70% full. I had some business in Ueno and decided to have a light sushi lunch beforehand. This place offers sushi for a flat rate of 149 yen each, making the bill straightforward. I ordered items like conger eel, sardine, shrimp, flounder, amberjack, mackerel, salmon, and tuna. The quality of the fish and the rice was decent considering the price. The rare items like conger eel and flounder were particularly fresh and enjoyable. It's a good place for a quick and casual sushi meal.

In Ueno, if you're looking for "conveyor belt sushi", I recommend "Oedo". Each plate is 150 yen including tax, which is quite reasonable. The alcohol prices are a bit high, so I usually go there for lunch when I can't drink, or to finish off a night of drinking elsewhere. The rice is slightly warm and the flavors are to my liking. I think the quality of the fish is better than other major chains. The portions are on the smaller side, but the prices reflect that. On this day, I had 7 plates for 950 yen. Sometimes there's a line, but you can eat quickly and pay the bill. 15 minutes is enough. A wonderful fast food option.

This is a revolving sushi restaurant located under the guard of Ameyoko in Ueno. I visited for lunch on a Sunday and the restaurant was full. The unique feature of this place is that all sushi plates are priced at 150 yen, and they offer a wide variety of white fish that you may not have tried before. They had Shima Aji, Isaki, Old Man fish, Black Mutsu, Engawa, Shako, Grilled Mackerel, Tsubugai, Live Red Shrimp, and Houbou. Since the sushi is all priced the same, it's hard to say much about the quality of the ingredients, but the Isaki, Old Man fish, Black Mutsu, and Houbou with a mark of approval on the daily fresh fish information seemed fresh. The menu is also written in English, Chinese, and Korean, so it seems to cater to foreign tourists. Thank you for the meal.
