Conveyor belt sushi (Japanese: 回転寿司, Hepburn: kaiten-zushi), also called rotation sushi, is a type of sushi restaurant common in Japan. In Australasia, it is also known as a sushi train.
Plates serving the sushi are placed on a rotating conveyor belt that winds through the restaurant and moves past every table, counter and seat.[1] The final bill is based on the number and type of plates of the consumed sushi. Some restaurants use a variation of the concept, such as miniature wooden "sushi boats" that travel through small canals, or miniature locomotive cars that travel on a track.[citation needed]
