Then it’s just sitting at the waiting area until your number is called. A ticket with your queue number is dispensed. The touch-panel machine is where you enter the number of diners in your party, as well as your choice of sitting at a booth or at the bar. Upon entering, customers approach a ticketing machine instead of a member of staff. The automated sushi adventure starts the moment you step into the restaurant. A visit to Muten Kura Sushi presented an advanced system that was beyond my knowledge of kaitenzushi. Granted that the automated serving system has become a somewhat familiar scene today in sushi restaurants worldwide, the brilliant fusion of food and technology continues to evolve in a truly Japanese fashion. The concept of serving plates of sushi on a conveyor belt is said to have started as early as 1958, and the trend continues to grow internationally even today. Kaitenzushi, or conveyor belt sushi, is possibly Japan’s most famous dining invention, and continues to amaze foodies around the world.
