Inexpensive Sushi in Shibuya
I love kaiten sushi! It’s a great way to eat sushi that’s delicious and not too expensive. Food in Japan is always fresh and delicious, especially kaiten sushi, which is sushi that rotates on a conveyer belt, and you just take what you want to eat from the conveyor belt!
I went to Midori Sushi, which is located on the 8th floor of Seibu department store, Shibuya, a few steps away from the famous Shibuya Scramble crossing and the Hachiko statue.
During usual lunch and dinner time, it gets busy, so you might have to wait in a line to get in, but the longest I’ve waited is half an hour. For different types of seats you may have to wait longer than others.
Table seat: You might have to wait longer until it becomes available, but you can use a touchpad with photos to order your food, which is really convenient!
Counter seat: You can actually see the chef in action!
How to Order
There are a few ways to order sushi!
-If you’re brave, you can look at the menu without pictures and then write down the number that accompanies the dish on the menu and hand it to the waiter.
-You can order on the touch screen
-You can pick the plate of food that you want from the conveyor belt
English is available too!
The price is labelled by the color of the plate.
