Kaitenzushi (回転寿司, 'rotating sushi') or conveyor belt sushi was invented in Osaka in 1958 when Yoshiaki Shiraishi created the first automated sushi delivery system. Plates of sushi rotate on a belt past counter seats; diners grab plates they want, and the bill is calculated by counting plates (color-coded by price ¥100–¥600 per plate). Modern chains use touch-screen ordering where sushi arrives on dedicated express lanes.
Osaka has hundreds of kaitenzushi shops ranging from ultra-budget (¥100/plate chains) to premium rotating sushi using high-quality fish. The format democratized sushi — traditionally expensive counter sushi became accessible to working-class families. The experience is quintessentially Japanese: efficient, hygienic, fun, and social.
