“Kaiten Sushi Rikimaru” Popular Sushi Ranking Top 7

Let’s jump right in, starting from 7th place〜!

7th Place: Fresh Salmon


¥385
(tax included)

Everyone’s favorite salmon shows up already! You can see those nice streaks of fat, and it’s so glossy it looks delicious at first sight〜

The thick slice melts in your mouth and tastes rich. Irresistible〜〜. Yep, I really do love salmon〜

6th Place: Grilled Eel Kabayaki


¥385
(tax included)

You can tell at a glance how plump and fluffy it is. When you lift it with chopsticks, the flesh is so tender it almost falls apart!

It comes apart in your mouth, with that sweet sauce spreading softly. The fragrant aroma from the sear is pure happiness〜

5th Place: Chawanmushi Savory Egg Custard (Homemade)


¥385
(tax included)

Apparently, Rikimaru’s chawanmushi has been handmade ever since the restaurant opened 30 years ago.

It comes with salmon roe, conger eel, donko shiitake mushrooms, kamaboko fish cake, shrimp, chicken, and ginkgo nuts.

The dashi really comes through, and it’s silky smooth〜〜. I was surprised by how sweetly seasoned the shiitake was!

The aroma of yuzu and mitsuba is also elegant, almost like something from a fine Japanese restaurant!

4th Place: Tuna


¥275
(tax included)

Whoa! The tuna is huge!! It’s about twice the size of the rice〜〜


You can tell just by looking that it’s fresh. Personally, this is the one I absolutely always order, No. 1.

3rd Place: Live Sea Bream


¥275
(tax included)

The translucent white flesh with a faint reddish tint is beautiful〜

It has a firm bounce, the kind that tells you it’s truly fresh〜〜.

2nd Place: Live Yellowtail


¥275
(tax included)

The plump, thick slices look super fresh!

The texture on the tongue is moist. The sweetness of the fat is irresistible〜. The pleasantly firm bite makes you think, “This is in season〜.”

1st Place: Fluffy Hand-Grilled Tamago


¥275
(tax included)

1st place is, amazingly, “dashimaki” rolled omelet. Apparently, it’s an incredibly popular item that sells 200,000 servings a year!

Since the restaurant first opened, they’ve apparently stayed committed to serving it “hand-grilled” and “freshly cooked.” Getting freshly grilled dashimaki at a conveyor-belt sushi place is pretty rare.

Inside the piping-hot, fluffy egg, the dashi is packed in beautifully〜. The balance of sweetness and dashi is perfect, a flavor both adults and kids love.

Apparently, quite a few customers say, “If I go to Rikimaru, I have to get the tamago♪”〜〜

By the way, with the “Fluffy Hand-Grilled Tamago,” you can even have them put sushi rice inside.

It’s an innovative sushi where vinegared rice appears from inside the egg!

I tried it too, and the soft fluffiness of the egg and the texture of the sushi rice made for a contrast that felt really new!

It’s dashimaki, but it still feels like sushi. Definitely try both versions, with and without the rice〜
