My husband and I went around 7:00 on a Thursday night. There were about fifteen people in line in front of us and we had to wait about 25 minutes to get in. The food was good and it was great fun to watch the food go by and grab what you wanted. We had 11 plates of the regular price sushi and 1 plate of the expensive and a beer each and our bill was 3200 Yen.

Catching your food from a Assembly line is fun when you are in Japan. This restaurant is famous for this speciality and popular for the Japanese citizens. You have to make reservations, if you are not at ease with waiting for a table for at least 3/4 of an hour.

There was a queue when we went but the wait didn’t take long. There were a few chefs standing in the centre, making fresh sushi and placing them on the conveyor belt. You can also order from the menu if you don’t see what you want on the belt.

Was looking for a good conveyor belt style sushi place and this one was convient being inside Kyoto station! The food was good, it was fun to watch all of the sushi chefs making the food right there and putting it out fresh all the time. There was a lot of variety and very well priced! Great value for the money!!

For kaiten-zushi, Sushi No Musashi has exceeded my expectations. Plates of nigiri are unbelievably priced at ¥146 and ¥346. Right smack in the middle of the restaurant encircled by the conveyor belt are sushi chefs constantly and consistently doing their magic to ensure guests get only freshly made sushi. Don't believe me? You can watch them with your very eyes no matter where you sit as you dine here. I've seen them toss away plates of sushi that's been rotating more than they'd like. Don't find what you're looking for or want something fresher than what you see? Ask the chef or the server and they will make it for you. How's that for pure awesomeness?!

Each colored plate has a designated price and also represents sushi with or without wasabi. Not to worry, a sign is explicitly on display for your reference as well as labels of what fish or meat you are eating. I found myself like a kid in a candy store as I saw all the options going around the belt before my eyes. I wanted to try everything! Abalone, fresh water eel, otoro, chutoro, fatty salmon, crab miso, cuttlefish herring roe, you name it, I ate them all, some a few too many. The one thing I couldn't eat was the raw horsemeat & mane. Call me weak but I just couldn't. All I got other than my husband's confused expression as he ate this was "it's chewy". And there you have it.

I have completely forgotten uni was unavailable as I was too busy enjoying the impressively fresh sushi spread and stellar service from such a casual place. A golden option inside Kyoto Station, no doubt!
