Conveyor belt sushi, known as kaiten zushi, was invented by Yoshiaki Shiraishi in Osaka, Japan, in 1958. Inspired by beer factories, he sought to eliminate inefficiencies in serving sushi, leading to a dining experience where plates rotate on a conveyor belt. This innovative concept allowed for lower costs and easier self-service dining, catering to Osaka’s vibrant food scene. Shiraishi's restaurants proliferated across Japan, introducing unique pricing based on plate colors and automating features like green tea dispensers. Additionally, proper etiquette, such as cleanliness and considerate plate selection, plays a crucial role in enhancing the dining experience.
Described as a 'sushi-go-round,' Shiraishi's invention goes by many names, including rotation and rotary sushi.
He believed it could streamline serving sushi, making it more efficient while reducing reliance on additional staff.
Rules put into place to ensure everyone can enjoy tasty sushi in a sanitary environment.
