Wakatakemaru Hamamachi — Restaurant in Nagasaki

An English mans review Had a great time here this evening. Its on the first floor. Take a ticket from the machine on the left as you walk in (we didnt realise this) and then sit and wait for your table number to appear/print out on a separate machine (that you cant see and wasn’t obvious to us non Japanese folk). Non of this was an issue for us and the staff helped us out anyway. Go to your table. Tablet menu is also available in English. Order a dish on the tablet as quick as possible. Order another….then another. They will appear either on a train or on the lower conveyor belt on a plate. Hit the blue button on the tablet to say you’ve taken the plate. Keep ordering and enjoy. When you’re done you take your table number ticket to the till by the door and pay. Food was superb. Loads of choice and not just sushi. Staff were great. Old lady was lovely. Plenty of vegetarian and vegetable options. Draft beer also superb and available as well as bottled beer and even non alcoholic lager too. Don’t be scared,...

I called the waiter over and she said to please wait as she was going to check on it. It showed up 10 minutes later. I waited half an hour for this one order and it was not even cleaned properly, you can see the intestines still there.

While everything else showed up quick, there was some quality left to be desired. The restaurant itself is pretty old, and the delivery system was a bit dirty and sticky; same with the tablet for ordering. Otherwise it is passable quality sushi, just don't order the...

Having sushi delivered by train seems to be quite thing in Japan. Ordering was by tablet and in Japanese. The only time we saw a person was one that showed us to our table and when the guide was paying. Need to have a Japanese speaker with you or be very trusting in the other diners since you have to take a ticket and wait for it to be called to get a seat. Food was probably quite standard for Japanese locals but was good and reasonably cheap from what I could tell. Worth a visit if you speak Japanese or if you are prepared to take a risk and act like a very dumb foreigner - something I have no problem...
