日本の料理 (nihon no ryoori) Japanese Cuisine 1

回転寿司 (kaiten-zushi) Conveyor Belt Sushi
Kaiten-zushi literally means "circulating sushi". Plates of sushi are set on a conveyor belt encircling the serving bar, and as the plates pass by, the customers select what they want. Plates with different colors, patterns, or shapes have different prices, usually ranging from 100 yen to 500 yen  Some conveyor belt sushi restaurant chains have a fixed price of 100 yen for every plate.
