Kaisen Edomae Sushi Totomaru Chiryu Main Store

Originating in the Mikawa region, Kaisen Edomae Sushi Totomaru Chiryu Main Store is the flagship of a renowned gourmet conveyor belt sushi chain with multiple locations across Aichi Prefecture.

The restaurant operates under the concept of “freshly cooked, freshly cut, freshly served.” Seafood is sourced daily from local fishing ports and delivered to each branch the same day, while buyers carefully select premium ingredients from around Japan. All fish are freshly cut in-house to preserve their natural flavor and texture. The sushi rice is seasoned with Totomaru’s original blended vinegar, and a specially crafted soy sauce enhances harmony between the rice and toppings-all offered at a reasonable price.

Beyond sushi, the restaurant delivers a truly immersive dining experience through live performances such as the “Warayaki Show” (straw-grilled tuna or bonito) and the “Tuna Filleting Show.” The dramatic flames and smoky aroma of the straw-grilled bonito, in particular, are a feast for both the eyes and the senses.

Even as many conveyor belt sushi restaurants move away from rotating systems, Totomaru keeps the fun alive with creative touches-like special “winning plates” featuring their mascot Toto-chan, which reward lucky guests with a free dish.

Seasonal specialties also play a big role. In autumn, diners can enjoy delicacies such as Pacific saury (sanma), seared saury, mantis shrimp (shako), and eggplant nigiri. Combining craftsmanship, freshness, and entertainment, Totomaru offers a dining experience that transcends the limits of ordinary conveyor belt sushi.
