Tsubame Rotating Sushi’s name was inspired by the Tsubame Shinkansen (Bullet Train) on the Kyushu Line. Tsubame, which translating to “barn swallow” signifies good luck in Japan. Our technology at Tsubame doesn’t stop with Shiraishi’s invention. Tsubame is equipped with sushi robots that assist our staff in the kitchen, bullet train delivery from table-side tablets and freshness systems that ensure every plate is on the conveyor belt for only a brief period of time via microchip technology. We hope you enjoy the experience at Tsubame as much as you do the meal.
