Sushi restaurants in Okayama: common questions

How much does sushi cost in Okayama?

Conveyor-belt sushi runs ¥1,500–¥3,000 per person. A set (moriawase) at a counter restaurant is typically ¥3,000–¥6,000 at lunch and dinner. Omakase at a reputed counter in Okayama starts around ¥10,000 and can exceed ¥30,000.

Do I need a reservation for sushi in Okayama?

Kaiten (conveyor) shops don't take reservations — just queue. Counter restaurants with under ten seats generally require one, often days ahead; hotels can call for you. Mid-range places with set menus usually accept walk-ins early in the evening.

What's the etiquette at a sushi counter?

Eat each piece in one bite, soon after it is served. Dip fish-side down, lightly, and don't add wasabi to soy sauce at a counter (the chef already seasoned it). Hands or chopsticks are both fine. Ordering "omakase" means the chef chooses; "okonomi" means you order piece by piece.
