Produced by Nobuo Yonekawa, a conveyor belt sushi critic, nine conveyor belt sushi restaurants from all over the country will be exhibiting, and the original "Big sushi" will be offered.

The En-eating editorial department who participated in the media preview decided the "ranking to eat" from the ones that were surprised to actually eat. Introducing TOP3!

[3rd place] Dokuraku Sushi "Global Sushi Challenge 2015 World Champion Atsushi Jibiki Supervised Melting Engawa Sushi Truffle Salty" 500 yen

This is the champion, Mr. Jibiki.

A variant of Western-style arrangement. Black truffle salt is combined with a large "engawa".

I was surprised not only by the aroma of truffles and the taste of porch, but also by the texture. Generally, it has a unique texture that is thick, but this porch is thick. You don't even have to chew, right? It melts as soon as you put it in your mouth! It was my first experience.

It's covered with green onions and it's hard to understand, but there are 3 pieces of rice under the big porch.

[2nd place] Gatten Sushi (Saitama Prefecture) "Long, Kumagaya Inari Special" 1,000 yen

I definitely want people who like fried tofu to eat it

"Kumagaya Inari" made with thick fried food over the business "Atsuzo! Kumagaya" that took advantage of the heat of summer. There are 3 large swords that will exceed 10 cm, lined up vertically. The ingredients on it are "crab loosened meat", "how much + sea urchin", and "negitoro".

Impressed by the thick fried wild flavor (!) Texture. Another point is the sushi that you can enjoy fried, sushi, and sushi at the same time. While the sushi with the overflowing material is conspicuous, you may think "What? Inari?", But the fried food was so delicious that I was selected as the 2nd place!

[1st place] Himi Kaiten Sushi Sui Sushi (Toyama Prefecture) "Kanburi Toyama Seafood Prime" 1,500 yen

A treasure trove of local conveyor belt sushi, a shop in Hokuriku

Among the authors, this is by far the best! You can enjoy the winter taste of Toyama Bay, "Himi's cold yellowtail," "crab," and "white shrimp" all at once.

Inside the large shell are crab claws, crab meat, white shrimp, and yellowtail dipped in pickled sauce, and under the shell there is plenty of crab meat and rice. Fully enjoy the taste of the material!

The yellowtail sauce was insanely good

In addition to this, the event has a variety of themed areas such as "Local Donburi Championship", "Ikemen Stamp Rally", "Local Sweets Street", and "Exquisite! Gem! Choinose Market".

Needless to say, it is impossible to eat all of them, so it is strongly recommended to prepare for the sales menu on the official website etc.!

"Nagoya Cochin Oyakodon", which won the gold medal for the second consecutive year and has an irresistible rich egg
