In recent years, the number of conveyor belt sushi restaurants has increased and many people are using them, but as a result, the number of restaurants that are known as “high-class sushi” where the chefs make the sushi right in front of you has become even more popular. This makes it difficult to use and has a high barrier to entry.
However, this high-class sushi,” which is often referred to assushi that doesn’t go around,” was originally a sushi restaurant that the general public could easily visit.
Most people think that “high-end sushi” is stressful, tiring, and expensive.
I’m sure you have this impression, but is it really true?
It is true that “high-end sushi” is often more than double the price compared to conveyor belt sushi, but the satisfaction level after eating it is so appealing that double the price is not worth it at all.
This time, we will explain the price range of “high-class sushi” and the difference from conveyor belt sushi.
Market price of high-end sushi restaurants

In the first place, the definition of high-quality sushi is that the chef checks each ingredient purchased that day, carefully considers which fish and how to serve it, and then serves it to the customer by hand. You can say that.
When choosing a high-end sushi restaurant, I think the most important thing to consider is the price.
When it comes to “high-class sushi,” prices vary widely, but the typical price for a course menu is 6,000 to 10,000 yen for lunch, and 20,000 to 40,000 yen for dinner. (*Does not include drinks, service charge, or tax.)
For reference, the price of “Chu Toro” is as follows.
Conveyor belt sushi around 220 yen
High-quality sushi around 1,600 yen
At high-end sushi restaurants, prices are often not clearly stated and the prices are often set or ordered, so please use this as a reference only.
The famous Ginza “Kyubei” is 22,000 yen for this course, which includes a side dish, sashimi, grilled food, nigiri, bowl, and dessert. (*Please check the current price.)
At a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, if you eat 3,000 yen worth of food for one person, you’ll be pretty full.
Taking these into account, there is certainly a considerable price difference between conveyor belt sushi and high-end sushi, and in the high-end sushi price range, it is a bit of a financial burden to enjoy sushi on a daily basis.
All-you-can-eat high-end sushi price

In addition, the image that was popular a while ago and that all-you-can-eat sushi at all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants, cheap banquet halls, and hotels that were popular a while ago and that “you can’t eat it! It doesn’t taste good!” has changed over the past 30 years. However, it seems like he is still being dragged along.
However, Hinazushi, which has seven stores mainly in Tokyo, maintains freshness through its distribution system, live fish preservation methods, and kitchen equipment, while managing it at a low cost. We offer “all-you-can-eat” at a price that cannot be imitated anywhere else.

Difference between high-class sushi and conveyor belt sushi

Isn’t it the same for conveyor belt sushi? You may think so.
However, many conveyor belt sushi restaurants differ greatly from high-end sushi restaurants in terms of the quality of ingredients and workmanship.
■Differences in Shari
The main difference is whether the shari is held by hand or by a machine.
It is true that automation technology has advanced in recent years, and robots dedicated to making shari may be able to make delicious shari to a certain extent, but craftsmen actually hold the shari in their hands, adjust the moisture level, finely adjust the size, and adjust the air pressure. Being able to check the condition of each piece of sushi depending on the type of sushi you are holding, such as the amount of sushi in it, is an important point that can only be done at high-end sushi restaurants where you can hold it in your hands.
■Differences in material
Most conveyor belt sushi restaurants consist of mainly farmed fresh fish and frozen seafood, which are inexpensive and do not fluctuate much in order to provide customers with consistently low prices.
It’s the kind of thing you’d find in a sashimi platter that’s often sold at supermarkets with the words “bargain!” written on it.
Salmon, lean tuna, squid, red sea bream, boiled octopus, this is probably it. However, in restaurants known as high-quality sushi, while they may of course use farmed fish, they often use fresh fish from other seasons when they are at their peak season, and they use cheap and delicious ingredients at that time. We put a lot of effort into vetting it.
In addition, since we are not selling our products on low prices, we are able to offer our customers the opportunity to taste fresh fish as soon as it is available, known as “hashiri,” rather than at the peak of the season.
Also, if we take the material “Ikura” as an example, at first glance it may seem like they are all the same, but they vary considerably depending on the grade and type.
Since ikura” is defined asfish roe,” there are actually a wide variety of “ikura” served at sushi restaurants.
Is it domestic or foreign?
Are they salmon eggs or trout eggs?
Is the size large or small?
Domestically produced, salmon eggs, and large eggs do not necessarily mean that they are the best for customers.
This is where the sushi restaurant’s discernment and ability will be tested.
Naturally, these differences have a big impact on the consistent taste of sushi, and they will also make a big difference in customer satisfaction.
■difference in atmosphere
Conveyor belt sushi restaurants are close to the rhythm of fast food, as many customers come here for a meal for a relatively short period of time, and you can’t expect comfortable seating or communication with the chefs at all. , there are very few customers who ask for it.
However, at a high-end sushi restaurant, you can feel the atmosphere that reflects the history of the restaurant and the chef’s thoughts, and being able to enjoy dialogue with the staff and gain a deep understanding of their explanations of the food and drinks is a great feeling of happiness. there is.
Also, there is no doubt that you will have a relaxing and rich time.
summary
There are so many different genres of cuisine coming out, and information is circulating all over the internet.
As customers’ knowledge about food continues to deepen, the price ranges and business formats of sushi restaurants have become more diverse.
A new type of high-end sushi restaurant that can meet the needs of this era will continue to grow in strength.
