Kura Sushi Inc. (Kura Sushi), one of the world’s most popular revolving sushi chains, announced on September 12 that it will open a revolving sushi restaurant with 338 seats, the largest number of seats in the world for a company outlet, at the Osaka-Kansai Expo, which will open on April 13, 2025, at Yumeshima, Osaka.
The restaurant will be located in the Future Society Showcase Zone on the west side of the Expo site. In addition to having the world’s largest number of seats, the restaurant will also have the world’s longest conveyor belt, at about 135 meters long, and deliver sushi and other food right to the customer’s seat.
The exterior walls of the restaurant will be constructed with the SDGs in mind, using plaster made from about 336,000 discarded ark clam shells. The walls are designed to be instantly recognizable as Kura Sushi, with a picture of tuna sushi in an ‘antibacterial sushi cover’ one of Kura Sushi’s unique features.
The interior is designed in a modern Japanese style with a white wood base, and the design of the Kura Sushi plates on the ceiling and the model of the antibacterial sushi cover in the waiting area are eye-catching to customers.
The restaurant will also be equipped with the following state-of-the-art, proprietary Kura Sushi system, which is standard at all Kura Sushi restaurants in Japan.
