Kanazawa Kaitenzushi Teruroli

The freshest, tastiest and most Kanazawa-like sushi!

A conveyor-belt sushi restaurant located in the rotary at the Kanazawa Port exit of JR Kanazawa Station. Since they purchase seafood directly from Kanazawa Port, Nanao Port, and other locations—caught that very morning—the freshness is exceptional. Although it’s a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, the sushi doesn’t actually move along a conveyor belt; instead, freshly made nigiri is served immediately after you place your order.

A popular choice is the “Kaga Five Varieties,” which lets you enjoy one piece each of “Chutoro,” “Nodoguro,” “Ikura Gunkan,” “Red Snow Crab,” and “Shellfish.” (*Subject to change depending on availability. ) You’ll be amazed by the generous portions of each topping. The restaurant’s original “Hime Sushi”—four varieties served with a spoon—is a menu item that’s easy for children to eat.

Original dish of nodoguro (sea bream) and gold leaf.

The restaurant is filled with items that heighten the sense of travel, such as 15 types of colorful plates inspired by Kanazawa and Kutani-yaki soy sauce dispensers.We also offer sushi that embodies Kanazawa, which accounts for 98% of Japan’s gold leaf production. The “Nodoguro Gold Leaf Sushi”—two pieces of nodoguro topped with glittering gold leaf—is a creative sushi creation you’ll want to try at least once.Since the salted rice malt brings out the natural sweetness and umami, you can enjoy it heartily—gold leaf and all—without dipping it in soy sauce.

In addition to sushi, the menu features a wide selection of à la carte dishes, such as deep-fried gas ebi, and “Kanazawa Oden.” Why not enjoy them paired with local sake from the Hokuriku region?

Morimori Sushi Kanazawaekimae-ten

Worth waiting in line to try. Three-piece feast

Located in the "Forus Kanazawa" fashion building just outside the Kenrokuen Exit of JR Kanazawa Station, the restaurant is so popular that customers line up even before it opens. The restaurant offers a wide variety of seasonal seafood from Kanazawa, Nanao, Ushitsu, Wajima, and other Noto fishing grounds. A must-try is the "Sanponzori" (three-piece dish), which is an assortment of the day's recommended items, one at a time. You can compare three kinds of fatty sea bream: raw, marinated, and salted and seared. The "Hokuriku Ebi Zukushi" plate, featuring fresh sweet shrimp, white shrimp from Toyama Bay, and rich sweet gas shrimp, is also a must-try.

In winter, enjoy Kobako Crab Gunkan

The "Hokuriku Five-Piece Platter" includes bai clam, gas shrimp, and nodoguro (sea bream), all of which have an irresistible crunchy texture, and the "Firefly Squid Three-Piece Platter" includes raw firefly squid, black sashimi, and pickled sea bream. Some regular customers come to the restaurant to enjoy the crab. The gunkan, which is served with the shell and topped with a generous amount of crab meat, inner and outer roe, is a mouth-watering dish with a rich flavor. The touch-panel ordering system allows customers to enjoy freshly made sushi.

Mawaru Toyama Wan Sushitama Kanazawaeki-mae-ten

Enjoy hand-pulled white shrimp, gundo, and other seasonal delicacies of Hokuriku

This is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant of the long-established "Kanazawa Tamazushi" group, which has been in business for more than 70 years. Seasonal fresh fish from all over Japan, including seafood from Toyama Bay, which is called a natural fish tank, arrives twice a day. The fish is prepared and served each time. We recommend the "Kanazawa-zari" which is topped with three kinds of fish representing Hokuriku: nodoguro (bluefin tuna), gas shrimp, and red snow crab. The rich sweetness of the white shrimp is wrapped in kombu (kelp) instead of nori (seaweed). The kelp gives the shrimp a salty taste, and the texture of the plump meat, which can only be obtained by hand-pulling, is irresistible.

A famous restaurant in the station building that you should visit as soon as you arrive at Kanazawa Station.

An unexpectedly popular item is “Grilled Conger Eel,” made by simmering conger eel—caught at Kanazawa Port and elsewhere—in a house-made sauce and then grilling it until fragrant. It’s plump, tender, and addictively delicious.You can enjoy authentic local flavors, such as rice made from 100% Koshihikari grown in Ishikawa Prefecture and soy sauce from Tsurugi Town in Ishikawa.

The miso soup, served free on weekdays, offers a comforting flavor. It’s self-service, and you can have as many refills as you like. The restaurant is located in “Hyakubangai,” a shopping complex directly connected to Kanazawa Station, making it convenient to stop by right after arriving in Kanazawa or before heading home.

Conveyor Belt Sushi “Sushi Kuine!” Kanazawa Station Branch

We pride ourselves on fresh ingredients shipped directly from ports across the country

A popular restaurant located on the 2nd floor of “Cross Gate Kanazawa,” a mixed-use property at the West Exit of Kanazawa Station. We are thoroughly committed to freshness, stationing buyers at major ports nationwide—from Hokkaido to Okinawa—to source fish immediately after it’s landed. In particular, for our salmon roe, we bring soy sauce from the Ono district of Kanazawa City to the production areas in Hokkaido to create a unique flavor profile. By building close relationships with producers, the restaurant achieves exceptional freshness and quality.

The sushi pieces are generously sized, allowing diners to fully savor the natural umami of the fish—another major draw. Popular with tourists, the restaurant offers a wide selection of local fish landed at Kanazawa Port, making it easy to enjoy Kanazawa’s sushi culture.

Savor Kanazawa’s unique flavors paired with local sake

Popular menu items include restaurant-exclusive sets such as the “Kirameki 5-Piece Platter” and “Kanazawa Zukushi,” which feature Hokuriku delicacies like nodoguro and yellowtail. During lunchtime, the restaurant also offers special lunch specials available only here. Enjoying these dishes alongside local sake will allow you to experience Kanazawa’s unique culinary culture up close.

Although it’s called a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, the sushi doesn’t actually rotate on a conveyor belt. Instead, you place your order via a tablet, and your food is delivered to your table via a dedicated lane, allowing you to enjoy a smooth dining experience. With a spacious layout offering a total of 106 seats—including both counter and table seating—the relatively short wait times are another welcome perk.

Conveyor Belt Sushi Okura

A pioneer in Kanazawa, a fierce battleground of conveyor-belt sushi restaurants

Opened in 1969, this restaurant was a pioneer of conveyor-belt sushi in Kanazawa. It was popular as a casual place to enjoy sushi when there were only a few restaurants in the Omemachi Market. Even today, nearly half of the customers are local regulars. The manager visits the Kanazawa Central Market every morning to purchase seasonal seafood from all over Japan. Please be sure to check out the"Today'sRecommendation," whichchanges daily.

Enjoy a plate of five kinds of local products with a large portion of fish.

The “Three-Variety Platter” and “Five-Variety Platter” menus were created in response to requests from female customers who wanted to try a variety of toppings one piece at a time. If you want to savor local Hokuriku seafood, be sure to try the “Kanazawa Five-Variety Platter,” which features local sweet shrimp, nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch), yellowtail, live bay scallops, and hand-peeled white shrimp.Each piece is generously sized and very satisfying.

Except during the fishing ban from July to August, the rich, local gas shrimp is also a highlight. Visit to enjoy Kanazawa’s seasonal seafood: red squid and shellfish in summer; hatahata and sweet shrimp in fall; and winter yellowtail, cod milt, and snow crab—whose miso is delicious—in winter.

Omi-cho Market Sushi Main Store

A popular at-home restaurant in the lively Omimachi Market

We make all sushi to order because we want our customers to enjoy the freshest ingredients at their best. But we serve it at the price of conveyor-belt sushi. The at-home atmosphere of the restaurant is also appealing. In addition to the Kanazawa Central Market, the restaurant purchases fish from connoisseurs in the neighboring Omimachi Market, such as Yamaka Suisan and Oguchi Suisan. The fish and seafood caught in the morning are prepared by the chef in a fast-paced manner. A popular set menu item is the "Nodoguro Eating Comparison," which consists of seven pieces of raw and seared nodoguro, tuna chubu, bai clam, etc. on a sushi plate. The sweetness of the fat in the nodoguro is exceptional.

Enjoy nigiri of bluefin tuna, the king of white fish, and Noto puffer fish.

Puffer fish from Ishikawa Prefecture, which has the largest catch of wild caught puffer fish in Japan, is also a delicacy. Nigirizushi of fresh fugu is lightly seared and served with ponzu jelly and grated momiji mushrooms, so it can be enjoyed as it is without hesitation. The gas shrimp has a superb taste with its sweet and plump flesh. Swordfish, called "Sawara" in Kanazawa, is another popular dish with a light fatty taste. In addition to nigirizushi, the restaurant offers a wide variety of hearty bowls of seafood, such as the "Seasonal Omakase-don" and the "Zekusu-don" bowl containing nodoguro (a type of rice bowl filled with fresh seafood). The restaurant opens at 8:00 a.m., so it is best to visit for breakfast.

Kaiten Sushi Ponta

Authentic sushi prepared by skilled chefs at a conveyor-belt sushi price.

Originally founded as a diner, the restaurant transitioned to a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in 1999. Located right in front of the Kanazawa Central Market, the restaurant’s philosophy is to source the freshest fish—primarily from Kanazawa Port but also from across the country—and offer it at affordable prices. On weekdays, the restaurant is bustling with local office workers, and in the evenings, it’s filled with families, most of whom order set menus.There are seven lunch sets to choose from; the “A Lunch” includes 10 pieces of nigiri, while the “Fill-Up Lunch” offers 12 pieces—both at great value. A la carte items are also reasonably priced.

The freshness of the fish is second to none. Free ara-jiru soup is also delicious!

Recommended items include amaebi (sweet shrimp), bai clam, bonito, and toro saba (mackerel) caught at the Port of Kanazawa. In winter, milt and kobako crab, which is richly flavored with both the inner roe (roe inside the shell) and outer roe (roe in the abdomen), are also available. The crab is not rotated, so you can order and enjoy a freshly made nigiri. The free "Ara-jiru" is also popular here. The seafood broth is so tasty that many people order another bowl. In addition to the counter, there are box seats and tables where you can take off your shoes, making families and groups feel at home.
