Whenever I travel to New Chitose Airport for business trips or other reasons,I always make a stop at this conveyor belt sushi restaurant.

In fact, I could even say that I book flights based on the time that allows me to eat here.

There’s a famous standing sushi bar at the airport,but even in an airport setting, I prefer to sit down and enjoy my meal at a more relaxed pace.

Although it's called "conveyor belt sushi," the system has changed since the COVID-19 pandemic.

These days, you rarely see sushi rotating on the belt;instead, you order through a touchscreen panel.

Of course, you can find plenty of sushi restaurants in places like Tokyo,so you don’t necessarily have to come to Hokkaido just for sushi.

However, traditional sushi restaurants often come with complicated etiquette and high prices.

If you want to enjoy sushi casually and at a reasonable price,conveyor belt sushi is the way to go—and when it comes to conveyor belt sushi, Hokkaido offers the best experience.

The price is roughly a quarter of what you'd pay at a traditional sushi restaurant,and you don’t have to worry about any formal dining etiquette—you can just eat however you like! 🍣✨

And of course, the sushi is delicious—that goes without saying. But my personal must-try recommendation is the "Salmon Ara-jiru" (Salmon Head and Bone Miso Soup). Be sure to give it a try!

The place I go to is located on the 3rd floor of the Domestic Terminal at New Chitose Airport,

but it seems there is also a branch on the 3rd floor of the International Terminal.

However, the atmosphere and menu seem to be a bit different.

The International Terminal might not offer Salmon Ara-jiru (Salmon Fish Head Soup).

If you have time, I highly recommend visiting the one in the Domestic Terminal on the 3rd floor.

The touch panel menu supports English.
