Kaiten Zushi Bar, Kuru Kuru Sushi, Aiea, Hawaii- August 2009

The word "kaiten" in Japanese means to rotate or spin around. Kaiten zushi (the pronunciation of sushi changes to zushi when it is combined with another word) is popular in Japan as the food is prepared in batches then distributed to diners who select their dish as it is brought to them via the conveyor belt. Diners know how much the dish costs by the color or design of the plate. Lastly, kaiten service is good for foreigners since you can eat what you like without having to speak in Japanese.

While kaiten service is popular in Japan, is can only be found in the mainland US is certain pockets. The US's Aloha State, Hawaii, has a kaiten zushi bar, Kuru Kuru Sushi located in Aiea that had sushi as it is back in Japan. Having eaten in kaiten zushi bars throughout Japan, I highly recommend Kuru Kuru Sushi your next visit to Hawaii.
