Each bite is surprisingly high quality and full of flavor. And the best part? You can order everything with just a tap on a big touch panel screen! 🍣✨
Let’s dive into this tasty experience and explore some must-try sushi picks!
How to order at Sushiro
Japan has several major sushi chains, and one of the most popular is Sushiro (スシロー)—a place where freshness meets variety! With seasonal toppings and creative combinations, you’ll never get bored, no matter how many times you visit.
At Sushiro, ordering is super easy. Each seat has a large touch panel screen, so you can simply tap the sushi you want. The menu photos are clear and helpful, making it stress-free even for first-timers.
And yes, it’s a conveyor belt sushi restaurant! 🍥 But here’s the twist: your sushi is prepared fresh after you order, then delivered right to your seat on a speedy belt. It’s fun, fast, and delicious!
🍣 Tuna and Wasabi: A Classic Japanese Pair
Tuna might be the most famous sushi in Japan—but it’s not just popular, it’s perfected. The freshness, thickness, and buttery softness of tuna sushi here are on another level. It’s not just a bite—it’s a complete meal. You’ll be amazed the first time you try it in Japan!
And don’t forget the wasabi. This traditional Japanese condiment is made from the root of the wasabi plant. Bright green and boldly spicy, it creates a sharp heat that rises through your nose rather than burning your tongue. In Japan, it’s usually grated into a smooth paste and served with sushi to enhance flavor—and it even has antibacterial properties, which made it especially useful in traditional raw fish dishes.
Outside Japan, real wasabi is rare and expensive because the plant is very difficult to grow. So in most restaurants around the world, what’s called “wasabi” is actually a mix of horseradish, mustard, and green food coloring.
Sushi with Red Shrimp Marinated in Shio-Koji
Let me introduce one special sushi you shouldn’t miss. Right now, Shio-Koji is gaining popularity in Japan for its health benefits and gentle flavor. It’s a traditional seasoning made from rice malt and salt, known for making ingredients soft, smooth, and deeply flavorful.
At Sushiro, you can try a unique shrimp sushi marinated in Shio-Koji. It’s topped with a thin slice of lemon, adding a refreshing citrus kick. Thanks to the Shio-Koji, the shrimp becomes rich and tender—almost like caramel in texture—while staying incredibly fresh inside. It’s a perfect balance of melt-in-your-mouth richness and bright flavor. Just one bite, and you’ll know: this sushi is something special.
🧅🥑 Onion, Avocado & Salmon with Mayonnaise: A Flavorful Twist
One of the most surprising sushi toppings in Japan is a mix of raw onion, avocado, and mayonnaise—layered on top of juicy salmon! It’s not traditional, but it’s definitely popular.
Salmon sushi is already beloved for its rich flavor, and this version adds even more depth. The raw onion brings a crisp crunch, the avocado adds a buttery smoothness, and the mayonnaise gently ties everything together with creamy richness. It’s a playful, satisfying bite that balances freshness and indulgence.
