[2014 Kyushu Family Trip - 13] Sushi Restaurant in Canal City Hakata, Heishiro

December 24th, 2014

My family cam up to the 4th floor of Canal City Hakata at about 4 or 5 PM to have a light dinner.

and what else would you rather eat than sushi?
That's why we decided to eat here at "Heishiro"

The inside looks like this, this place is a "conveyor belt sushi restaurant" where you can either pick the sushi you want to eat that is on the conveyor belt, or order separately.

 This is what should be near you when you sit at a table: a bell switch, soy sauce, tooth picks, soy sauce plate, a cup.

and this, is green tea powder, and it's not wasabi

 what you do is, you put a little bit of the powder in a cup, and add hot water using the faucet that is located at every single seat.

Anyway, the important thing is, don't mistake that green tea powder for wasabi. (like my mother did on the third picture of this post.)


Since we weren't eating that much, we basically ate the ones we usually like.

 tuna, which all of the sushi lovers should be familiar with.

 tuna belly, which is fantastic but expensive.

salmon, my usual favorite (I already ate one in this picture)

 yellow tail, another favorite of mine.

 and eel, which is also one of the expensive ones.

wow
I've never seen anything like this.
an salmon egg roll that used salmon sashimi in place of a seaweed.

and that's pretty much all I ate.
I haven't taken any pictures of the sushi that my mom and dad ate.

So that was Heishiro.
I wasn't expecting too much from the quality because it was a "conveyor belt sushi restaurant."
However, all of the fish were really fresh and everything tasted great!

This kind of reminds me of the time when my friends and I were trying to decide where to have sushi when we were on a trip to Osaka.
One of the candidates were Genroku Sushi, which is another conveyor belt sushi place located on Dotonbori.
Although we didn't eat at Genroku Sushi back then, if Heishiro's quality is to be expected to pretty much most of Japan's converyor belt sushi restaurant, I think choosing to eat at Genroku Sushi might have been a pretty satisfactory decision.
