Japan is a paradise for gourmets; dining in Japan is not only exciting but also fulfilling and satisfying. A trip to Japan is incomplete without a visit to one of the numerous restaurants of the country and having a taste of the popular Japanese delicacies. There are several restaurants in Japan that specialize in certain specific dishes and these restaurants are known as specialized Japanese restaurants. Kaiten-zushi restaurants in Japan are one of the popular specialized Japanese restaurants in the country. Kaiten-zushi is a restaurant that specializes in sushi. In these restaurants lies in the fact the dishes are served on a rotating conveyor belt that moves past every table and counter seat. This arrangement facilitates the customers to pick their favorite dishes from the wide range of dishes moving along the conveyor belt. The restaurant authorities calculate the bill from the number and type of plates used by the customer. Some of the restaurants also boast of fancier form of presentation like miniature wooden "sushi boats" or miniature locomotive cars. If you are visiting a Kaiten-zushi restaurant for first time, you will definitely be bewildered by the sight of stream of plates meandering through a restaurant. Besides sushi, these restaurants also offer in Tetra Paks, fruits, desserts, soups, and other foods. You can also avail beer from some of the Kaiten-zushi restaurants but then beer is served with empty plates in order to keep track of the total bill. Another specialty of these restaurants is that if the customer cannot find his desired dish, then he can make special order for that particular dish. Some of the restaurants even have speaker phones for this purpose. The seats of the restaurants feature many condiments and tools like pickled ginger, chopsticks, soy sauce, wasabi, pots of wasabi and small dishes for the soy sauce. The price of dishes in Kaiten-zushi restaurants generally ranges from100 yen to 500 yen. The cost of the food items are displayed on the signboards or posters in the restaurant. The shape, color and pattern of the plates are indicative of the price of the dishes. Generally cheap items are served on plain plates and costly items are offered on golden colored plates. Some Kaiten-zushi restaurants like Kappa Sushi or Otaru Zushi offer any dish for 100 yen. Kaiten-zushi restaurants are mainly aimed at customers who are looking for value for money. You must remember that these restaurants will not be able to provide the same quality of food that you can avail in expensive restaurants. For more information on Japan visit AsiaRooms.com.
