Prices on the belt start around ¥150 per plate
This Kaiten Sushi outlet in Terminal T1 runs a classic conveyor-belt setup, so you can sit down, grab plates as they pass, eat fast, and get back to your gate without fuss. It sits airside in T1, so this only works if you’re already checked in and through security for a T1 flight.
Most plates run in the ¥150–¥400 range, with a few premium items higher, so you can walk out under ¥1,200 if you just want a quick 6–8 pieces before boarding. The system is simple: different plate colors mark different prices, and staff totals the stack at the end.
Expect the usual lineup: tuna, salmon, shrimp, egg, and basic rolls, not a high-end omakase spread. Quality tracks typical mid-tier Tokyo kaiten spots rather than downtown sushi temples, which is fair for airport food inside T1. Hit the tuna and salmon first; those tend to be the safest bets in quick-turn sushi shops like this.
Beer and soft drinks run around ¥300–¥600, which keeps the bill reasonable even if you park here for a full tray of plates. Service is quick, and food turnover stays decent during peak bank times for the big Star Alliance departures from T1. Off-peak, the belt might look thinner, so you may want to order specific items direct from staff if something you want isn’t circulating.
Lines can form around main evening departure waves for US and Europe flights out of T1, and waits of 10–20 minutes aren’t rare then. Seating is counter-style, so larger groups may need to split up during those peaks. Payment works with major cards and yen cash, and the staff is used to handling passengers who are watching boarding times closely.
Tip: check your gate on the T1 screens before you sit; it’s easy to lose track of time when plates keep rolling by at ¥150 each.
