Kaitenzushi - Sushi-go-round

Kaitenzushi 回転寿司 is a sushi restaurant where the plates are placed on a conveyor belt that rotates and moves past every table. Kaiten means rotation. Customers can take whichever plate they want and can also place special orders, which are brought to the table by a toy Shinkansen - the bullet train. This one is the Kappazushi, found in several cities in Japan. Kappa is a legendary water creature in Japanese folklore.

Screen for special orders - orders are placed by touching the screen:

A toy Shinkansen immediately brings the special orders to the table.

Dessert, fruit, snacks, soups and others are available as well.
