Katsu Midori

Shibuya & Shimo-Kitazawa


This kaiten-zushi (conveyor-belt sushi restaurant) iis known to be far better than average, so there's nearly always a queue. Go at nontypical meal times (also convenient when you get hungry outside typical meal times). The menu is huge, including lots of non-seafood items; especially tasty is the sushi served 'aburi' style – lightly seared with a blowtorch.
