Choshimaru is a conveyor-belt sushi chain based in Chiba Prefecture and expanding across the Kanto region. Because you can enjoy fresh toppings that match the image of the fishing-port town of Choshi, many Chiba residents are said to love Choshimaru. This time we introduce Choshimaru's takeout menu.

Choshimaru's Takeout Menu Is Diverse!

What we introduced so far were general sets, but there are also rice bowls, bo-saba (mackerel pressed sushi), and sukeroku available. The most interesting among them is the "nigiri sushi set," which lets you try making nigiri sushi at home. The 24 portions of rice and 8 kinds of toppings come separately, so it is a service where you make the nigiri yourself.

While you can buy hand-rolled sushi sets even at the supermarket, you rarely see nigiri sushi sets, right? Using the "nigiri sushi set," a home party is sure to be a hit.

This time we introduced Choshimaru's takeout menu, and the general sets are well-rounded, while the other sets are distinctive and truly diverse. When you want to quickly and cheerfully throw a party with family or friends, you will surely want to give it a try!
