Grim acts of 'sushi terrorism' has forced four of Japan's 'big five' sushi restaurants to scrap self-service after footage showed customers rubbing their saliva on the dishes.
The 'sushi-terrorism' trend in Japan sees customers do gross things in restaurants such as licking soy sauce bottles and eating ginger directly from a communal pot. Yoshinoya was then forced to stop offering the belt serving feature after Shimazu 'provoked anxiety and ill-feelings among other customers, and raised doubts about safety and security in the food service industry'.Other footage also captured a teenage diner at Japan's Akindo Sushiro touching pieces of sushi on conveyor a belt with freshly licked fingers and licking cups before leaving them in a stack to be used by other customers.
Dubbed Digital SushiroVision, or Digiro, a monitor at each table and counter seat shows animated images of sushi dishes riding around on the conveyor belt that can be ordered. While the move removed the popular and fun element of ordering sushi, the firm reasoned that the absence of plates travelling through the restaurant on a conveyor belt would make it near impossible for pranksters to tamper with other customers' orders.Kura Sushi is adamant they want to keep their conveyor belt system
Tablets are also installed into the tables, reducing the need for customers to have any physical contact with dishes before or after ordering.Yet, Kura Sushi is taking a stand against the 'sushi terrorists' and keeping the conveyors alive through the use of technology.
