Some of you might be thinking, "What? A conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Ishigaki Island? Is it any good?"

"Sushinchu" is a rare conveyor belt sushi restaurant located at the southernmost tip of Japan, on Ishigaki Island, that uses plenty of local seafood and is very popular with tourists.

At Sushijin, we offer a wide variety of ingredients, including seasonal fish such as tuna, salmon, mackerel, and saury, as well as ingredients unique to the island, such as parrotfish and giant clams.

For a sushi experience where you can enjoy local island fish to your heart's content, we recommend "Sushinchu"! We'll introduce its many charms in detail.

Giant clam

What makes "Sushinchu," Ishigaki Island's only conveyor belt sushi restaurant, so appealing?

Sushijin's prices start from a reasonable 120 yen per plate.

We recommend the "Tekka Maki" (170 yen), made with tuna caught in the waters off Ishigaki Island, and the fatty "Chutoro" (390 yen).

Also, the "Irabucha" (220 yen), which has a vibrant blue surface, is a popular white fish in Ishigaki Island with a firm texture.

Furthermore, they offer a wide variety of side dishes unique to Ishigaki Island, such as "sea grape gunkan (170 yen)" with its popping texture, "assorted sashimi of locally caught fish (990 yen)," and "crispy mozuku tempura (490 yen)."

Inside the sushi restaurant

The restaurant has a total of 83 seats, including counter seats typical of a sushi restaurant, as well as comfortable booth seating.

The restaurant has counter seats perfect for solo diners, as well as semi-private booth seating, so families and couples can also enjoy their meal with peace of mind.

Menu items not on the conveyor belt can be ordered using the touch panel at each seat.

The way the food is served, featuring a model of a Shinkansen (bullet train) when you order via the touch panel, has become a signature feature of Sushijin.

Furthermore, the fact that it features a figure of Ryujin Mabuyer, a tokusatsu (special effects) hero known to everyone in Okinawa, makes it a huge hit with local children.

Incidentally, the touch panel supports English, Chinese, and Korean, so customers from overseas can place orders with peace of mind.

Afterword
