'Sushi terrorism' brings restaurant conveyor belts to standstill in Japan
The Guardian
|March 08, 2023
The growth threatening of "sushi terrorism" is to change forever the way that millions of diners in Japan eat their country's signature dish.
The days of carefree hi-tech sushi dining in which customers take plates directly from a conveyor belt - appear to be over, as restaurant chains scramble in response to a spate of hygiene incidents caused by badly behaved clientele.
In the weeks since a viral video appeared showing a teenager licking the open top of a communal soy sauce bottle and rubbing saliva on passing food at a kaitenzushi (conveyor-belt sushi) restaurant, chains have attempted to restore their reputation for cleanliness - even if it means removing their main attraction.
Choshimaru, which operates restaurants in the greater Tokyo area, recently said it would bring its conveyor belts to a halt - instead, staff would deliver orders by hand.
