“Katsugyo Kaiten Sushi Suiten” in Kikuyo Town has a luxurious lunch menu will make you feel like a king without breaking the bank!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re hankering for sushi or a bit of indulgence at lunch, this is the spot!<\/span><\/p>\n

A Hidden Sushi Gem in Kikuyo<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Katsugyo Kaiten Sushi Suiten Kumamoto Kikuyo Branch”\uff08The name roughly translates to “Live Fish Conveyor Belt Sushi Restaurant Suiten”\uff09opened in April 2022 in Kikuyo Town.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The building has a simple and reserved exterior.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Japan, not being able to see directly inside a restaurant is often thought of as imparting a kind of mystique and exudes a sense of luxury.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>However, a glance at the menu on the signboard reveals surprisingly affordable lunch options starting from just 980 yen (excluding tax). Let’s check it out!<\/span><\/p>\n

A Spacious Interior That Exudes Hospitality<\/b><\/h2>\n

Upon entering the restaurant, you are greeted by a large counter seating area.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Further in, there is a raised tatami seating area where you can take off your shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the center, a lively fish tank with energetic fish sets the scene. It’s like an aquarium.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>You can also choose from three types of tea at your table \u2013 hojicha (roasted green tea), and genmaicha (green tea with roasted rice), and regular green tea.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Which<\/span> do you like the most? It is a perfect way to start a conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Personally, I was thrilled to find rock salt on the table \u2013 perfect for white fish sushi and tempura. The attention to detail in hospitality is impressive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fresh and Slightly Upscale Sushi – Simply the Best<\/b><\/h2>\n

I started with some items that caught my attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tenshi no Ebi (Angel Prawn) 539 yen<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>A visual masterpiece with transparent shrimp that’s sure to be delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n

And more…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nikuatsu Shiitake Ganen Aburi (Thick Blowtorched Shiitake Mushrooms with Rock Salt) 539 yen<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Iwashio Zanmai (Rock Salt Flavor) 649 yen<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shio Lemon Zanmai (Salted Lemon flavor) 649 yen<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Just looking at these sushi options had my mouth watering. The opportunity to enjoy high-quality fish in a conveyor sushi setting is a real treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lunch Deals Are Unbeatable! Great Value for Money<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>While just the sushi is reasonably priced, the lunch menu is where the real deals are!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Tsurumi Set : 1,386 yen<\/b><\/p>\n

The Tsurumi Set includes 8 nigiri, a small side dish, chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), and a choice of three soups (udon, red miso, or clam soup) \u2013 an incredible value!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>As you can see, the nigiri lineup alone is satisfying, with eight pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>On top of that, the red miso soup I chose had huge chunks of fish.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Absolute extravagance.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The Hanakago Set includes five pieces of sushi, tempura, a small side dish, assorted sashimi, chawanmushi, soup, and dessert.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can eat various kinds of food at a time since there are so many kinds of food in this set. And even dessert is included!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The centerpiece of the meal is the ornate sushi, charmingly small and bite-sized.\u00a0The artful plating is a testament to their skill and attention to detail.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>There are three different types of sashimi.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Similarly, there are three different types of tempura.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The soup is brimming with plump, delicious clams. No corners were cut in any of the dishes! <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s impressive that such a top-notch lunch is just a tad over 1,000 yen.<\/span><\/p>\n
