Rikimaru Nishinomiya Imazu Known for Fresh Sushi Made Right in Front of You Has Joined Nishitsu Friends

Fresh local fish and sushi made right in front of you? That’s the best

Did you know that “Rikimaru Nishinomiya Imazu,” which opened in November 2023 in Imazu Minatomachi next to Home Center Kohnan, is part of a long-established conveyor-belt sushi chain with more than 40 years of history?

Inside the restaurant, there’s a large fish tank, and the “ikesu menu,” where fresh fish is prepared on the spot after you order, is also very popular!

Their signature “hokuhoku te-yaki tamago” is cooked right in front of you after you order, so you can enjoy it freshly made and piping hot.

They bring in fresh fish from the Setouchi coastal waters every day, and the sushi made with plenty of local fish is seriously delicious. Plates start at 100 yen (tax included), and they also have a great selection of desserts that are popular with kids and women. A menu the whole family can enjoy is one of the best parts of conveyor-belt sushi, isn’t it?

Plenty of convenient services!

If you download the app, you can order takeout and delivery, and even reserve your spot in line. At the Nishinomiya Imazu location, you can also reserve a private room by phone if you book by the day before. (*Limited availability on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) They also offer takeout sushi that’s perfect for celebrations, memorial services, and other occasions.

Speaking of booking by the day before, this applies to seats too, but until Monday, January 13, 2025 (national holiday), all takeout items are 5% off when reserved by the previous day, so making a reservation is basically the way to go. They also offer delivery through services like Uber Eats and Demae-can.

Don’t miss the seasonal events and discount coupons!

Around the New Year holidays, they issue coupons through the app, and on weekends they sometimes hold events featuring fresh tuna. For the latest updates, be sure to check the official app, Instagram, and Nishitsu articles too.

Environmental conservation and food education initiatives

At Rikimaru, they not only want customers to enjoy fish from Hyogo Prefecture and the Seto Inland Sea, but also work to raise interest in marine environmental conservation and food education. Their commitment to valuing sustainable seafood is another appealing point.

For their first Nishinomiya-area location, they apparently held an opening collaboration with “Sakana no Oniisan Kawa-chan,” a Nishinomiya-raised fish and sea expert who makes learning about seafood really fun. He’s familiar to Nishitsu readers too.
