Sushi robots in action

[mamster]

Are there any sushi restaurants in Seattle that use one of those sushi-making robots and places it so that customers can see it in action? This is very important.

I'm thinking the larger super markets probably have one of these or outsource it. Maybe asking around at one of these you can find one. Those things look amazing.

I've only seen them at trade shows (in Tokyo). I'd be surprised if any place other than something like Blue C would be obvious about it (and I just don't go there because Chiso is right across the street); I don't know if Blue C uses them or not. What about the various Marineopolis locations (they all go by different names) or Todai?

I think Uwajimaya does most of the sushi preparation offsite now (though I'm not quite sure); perhaps they could arrange a tour if they're using that kind of equipment.

Marineopolis sushiland uses a machine that forms the rice for their gunkan style sushi, but you must be talking about a machine that does more than that. Right? Can you explain what the machine does

balomi, the machine you're talking about sounds like what I'm looking for. There are various types, but the simplest just makes rice balls. I will check it out. Are you talking about the one in Queen Anne? Thanks!

I saw the tortilla robot in action in the lobby of Torrero's at Factoria. That was pretty cool. The tortillas weren't bad either.

I saw one at that big Mexican grocery in Burien. Guadalupe?

Whenever I look in the window at the SouthCenter costco their sushi robot is going like crazy, in fact I think I've seen it in other Costco's too....

Blue Island Sushi (upper scale conveyor belt sushi) in Fed. Way just opened last week. They had a sushi machine that makes the rice balls but not the rolls. They don't use it all the time though. You may want to call them to see the machine in action. This place totally copied Blue C, but it's actually better than Blue C so far.

They use Hikari premium rice for their sushi, run by Koreans but good quality sushi, very creative rolls. I saw the sushi roll making robot machine in Paris, at Lo Sushi. Costco also used to have it but it's no more. -Moose

Thanks, Moose. I called Sushi Land and they thought I was nuts. I'm looking forward to trying Blue Island.
