Kura Sushi Higashikawaguchi — Restaurant in Kawaguchi

Kaiten Sushi, or revolving belt sushi, is always a fun experience. However, Kura Sushi takes it one step further by throwing in a mini game. At each booth or table, there is a slot where you slide in your empty sushi plates. For every five plates you slide in, you get a chance at a mini game. The mini game is akin to slot machine, where you have no agency but are simply hoping that you land a win. If you do win, you get one of the many seasonal prices. That experience alone makes the place worth visiting.

Of course, not all is fun and games. The sushi is pretty solid and they have a wide variety; from rolls to even small bowls of ramen. If you have a sweet tooth, they have you covered with a decent dessert menu. I personally quite enjoy the torched cheese salmon. It's one of my favorite sushi to order at any of the kaiten Sushi places. I would recommend staying away from any of the drinks, as they are so full ice that you are barely, and I honestly mean barely, getting anything to drink.

If your character wins on the animation then a Gachapon capsule will pop with a free prize.

Food was delicious. Service was fast and I definitely enjoyed it. I'll be returning...

It's my second time at a Kura and it's not a disappointment. The sushi and maki rolls are always delicious. The à-la-carte menu via the touch screen offers plenty of choices to cater everyone's preferred tastes. Since everything can be ordered via a touch screen, there's no need to speak Japanese either. Highly recommended for visitors to Japan who require an easy way to try sushi without breaking the bank or for those who aren't sure where to...
