Japanese conveyor belt sushi restaurant chain Sushiro has opened its first Hong Kong outlet.
The franchise is moving for a foothold in the local market and aiming to use the city’s international status to expand across the region.
The flagship store, located at a commercial building near Jordan MTR Station, offers traditional sushi alongside other side dishes and desserts. To ensure freshness, it will soon deploy a high-tech system currently used in Japan, that can automatically remove unclaimed plates after they travel more than 350 metres on the belt and replace them with new ones.
“Hong Kong has a sophisticated Japanese cuisine market,” said Sushiro Hong Kong president Kazuo Aratani. “People here love sushi and demand the best.
“All of these conditions work perfectly with our competitive advantages. We are dedicated to offering customers the highest quality sushi at affordable prices.”
“We are happy to see that a popular Japanese sushi restaurant chain has set up a presence in Hong Kong and joined our dynamic food and beverage scene,” said investment promotion associate director-general Dr Jimmy Chiang. “We wish it every success in leveraging on Hong Kong’s business advantages to expand in the region.”
