Kura Sushi - Utsunomiya

Much cleaner, fresh fish, more friendly staff than the filials in tokio.

ネタの質がイマイチ。 回っているものはカバーが付いており、感染症対策はばっちりですが、味がいまいち。 スシローなどと比べると劣ってしまう。 商品名的には良い魚の種類などがあってコスパが良さそうに感じるが不満足。

I visited during a weekday lunch. It was around 12:20 pm, but we were seated without any wait. You can order not only from the touch panel but also from your smartphone, which is efficient. However, there is a limit to the number of orders, so for a group of 4 people, depending on the timing of the orders, some people may receive more orders than others. Well, you can just take sushi that is already circulating so it's not a big deal. The sushi itself is okay. I personally think Sushiro is tastier. Kura Sushi seems to have a better reputation for limited-time and side menu items rather than the usual offerings. This time, the chilled tantan noodles were very delicious! The medium fatty tuna was disappointingly thin compared to the photo. The bonito was large and tasty. It would be even better if they added a bit more ginger. The tuna Texas roll was interesting. The crispy texture of fried onion added a nice accent.

I went twice but I didn't think the sushi was very good. Although you can see the sushi rotating, when you order it doesn't seem fresh and you receive thin slices of fish. Even when I ordered the premium sushi, I was disappointed. It's understandable that the place is crowded with families looking for the gachapon. If you're going here, I recommend choosing other nearby sushi restaurants like Uobei or Hamazushi, as there are plenty of other options in the area. I was surprised by how disappointing the place was compared to the photos and commercials.

The online reservation system was helpful, but you still need to check in at the entrance.
