I can’t believe it’s already been a year since Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera Hawaiʻi opened. I vividly remember going to the media preview — and how busy the conveyor belt sushi restaurant was during opening weekend.
The eatery is celebrating its first anniversary with two weekend deals. From April 19 to 20, the restaurant’s popular wagyu sushi will be available for $15 instead of $30. Customers can also take advantage of aburi toro sushi at half price (it’ll be $6 instead of $12). This is one of my favorite nigiri, as the flame-seared toro still retains its fattiness and rich, buttery flavor, but has a slightly charred exterior and smoky aftertaste.
It’s important to note that these discounts are available for dine-in only. Customers who dine in on April 19 and 20 will also be able to participate in a lottery; the grand prize is a pair of lunch invitations to the eatery’s sister restaurant, Sushi Ginza Onodera Hawaiʻi, which is known for its omakase.
Customers who dine in for at least 30 minutes will be granted one spin from the lottery wheel, and all winning coupons will be redeemable starting from May.
The following weekend, the eatery is offering discounted bluefin tuna nigiri from April 25 to 28. Customers can enjoy akami ($3, regular price $6), chutoro ($4.50, regular price $8.50) and otoro ($6, regular price $12) nigiri from April 25 to 28. This is an especially good deal for the more luxe pieces of chutoro (medium-fatty tuna) and otoro (the fattiest part of the tuna belly).
There will also be a bluefin cutting show at 6:15 p.m. on April 28.
