A Skylark Group conveyor-belt sushi shop in Yanagicho

Totoyamichi (魚屋路) Kawasaki Yanagicho is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant run by the Skylark Group. It is at 3-1 Yanagicho, Saiwai Ward, and opened on Feb 24, 2021.

• It is open 10:30 a.m.–10:30 p.m., the same on weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
• You order at your seat from a tablet on the table (a digital menu book).
• There are counter seats and a parking lot, and the whole restaurant is non-smoking.

In the evening it is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, and at lunchtime it serves reasonably priced lunches. The room is spacious and clean, and both the counter and the tables were comfortable. It is easy to drop in alone or on a date.

Weekday lunch: tuna trio bowl and seafood bowl

Two of us went for a weekday lunch and ordered one bowl each. One of us chose the "Tuna trio bowl (with tempura)." It is a hearty bowl piled high with tuna and negitoro, and it even comes with freshly fried, crispy tempura. This alone is very filling.

The other went for the "Salmon, ikura and negitoro seafood bowl," a colorful bowl with salmon, plenty of ikura, negitoro and rolled omelet. Packed with favorite toppings, it feels like a small treat.

At lunchtime, miso soup came free with our meals. The warm miso soup with green onion goes well with the seafood bowls. The taste is familiar and comforting. Above all, the big portions and reasonable prices are what make it worth a visit.
