It is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant located inside Naha Airport. You can enjoy not only sushi with fresh Okinawa ingredients, but also Ishigaki beef and Motobu beef steaks at a reasonable price. Among the many restaurants in the airport, this restaurant stands out from the crowd.
Point 1: Where is “Kaiten Sushi Mirai” located? What is the location in the airport?
Kaitenzushi Mirai is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant located on the fourth floor of Naha Airport’s domestic terminal building.
You can find many conveyor-belt sushi chains in the city, but it is a bit rare to find a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in an airport where you can enjoy Okinawan ingredients.
Don’t think of conveyor-belt sushi as the same as the cheapest chain sushi restaurants such as Sushi-Fat or Fatty Sushi!
Although the sushi is spinning, the ingredients are very high quality, and although the price is a little high to call it a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, many customers say that it is “worth the price” and that they did not expect such a fulfilling meal inside Naha Airport.
This “Kaitenzushi Mirai” is a little more upscale than ordinary conveyor-belt sushi, offering nigirizushi of rare Okinawan fish, Ishigaki beef, Motobu beef steak, wine, and more.
While a conventional hamburger or a po-tama onigiri from a convenience store may satisfy your hunger, why not end your trip with a sushi that you can only eat in Okinawa?
Point 2: What kind of sushi menu does “Kaitenzushi Mirai” have?
The sushi menu at Kaitenzushi Mirai is rich in Okinawan products.
For example, the “Churasan Roll” shown in the photo is a thick roll with pork and egg, bitter gourd, and sea grapes on the side, which is a good way to recognize Okinawan sushi at a glance.
Other items on the menu include Gunkan-maki with Goya plum paste, Goya-maki (not Kappa-maki), Naveler (loofah) sushi, Chikinacho (island greens), Taman (fish) with sea grapes and snow salt, fresh prefectural tuna, and Tiger Prawn Nigiri.
There is also a wide variety of seared sushi and gunkan (warship). Some of the sushi include the “Dragon Fantasy,” an intensely visual conger eel.
For people from the mainland, this is the first time they have seen any of these sushi.
Prices range from 165 yen to 1,585 yen, which is a bit higher than regular conveyor-belt sushi.
Point 3: What else is on the menu at Kaiten Sushi Mirai?
In addition to nigirizushi, Ishigaki beef and Motobu beef steaks are also available at Kaitenzushi Mirai.
Ishigaki beef top lean steak is 2,112 yen for 100g, and Motobu beef sirloin steak is 2,475 yen for 100g.
Okinawa’s B-class gourmet foods are also well represented, such as deep-fried Okinawan tiger prawns (924 yen), island rakkyo tempura (803 yen), deep-fried tofu from Hiroshiya (440 yen), red potato croquettes and prefectural mozuku tempura (440 yen).
There are many reviews that say that the restaurant is “a restaurant that caters to tourists” or “expensive even though it is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant,” and the reviews are divided between those who praise the restaurant and those who think that the prices are reasonable, but since the ingredients are from Okinawa and the sushi is top quality, I think the prices are reasonable.
Please give it a try.
