Sado Kaiten Sushi Benkei Sado Main Store

This conveyor-belt sushi restaurant serves exceptionally fresh seafood, prepared the same day it arrives directly from the fishing port. You can enjoy fresh fish caught in the waters off Sado, where many kinds of fish migrate throughout the year, paired with sushi rice made from Sado-grown rice cultivated in rich soil.

The brand operates more than 10 locations, including affiliated restaurants mainly in Niigata City, but this branch on Higashi-odori in Sado City is the main store. It is a popular spot not only with locals, but also with many fans visiting from outside the prefecture.

Prices range from 165 yen to 874 yen per plate (tax included), depending on the topping. The plate colors on the conveyor belt indicate different prices. The menu features a wide selection, from standard toppings such as fatty tuna, whelk, and conger eel to seasonal choices such as blackthroat seaperch and winter yellowtail. The restaurant has 63 seats in total, including 17 counter seats, five box tables for six, two raised seating areas for six, and one raised seating area for four. Lines can form during peak hours, so it is best to visit with extra time to spare.
