Updated October 2026: the Tokyu Plaza Ginza conveyor belt branch permanently closed on 23 September 2026. This article preserves our original visit and explains the nearest current alternatives.
Kaitenzushi Nemuro Hanamaru brought Hokkaido seafood to the tenth floor of Tokyu Plaza Ginza. The restaurant paired a lively conveyor belt format with seasonal fish and colour coded plates.
Our visit delivered fresh salmon, seared fish, tuna and other small plates at accessible prices. The busy counter and visible chefs made the meal feel energetic rather than formal.
Important closure update
The official Nemuro Hanamaru website states that the Tokyu Plaza Ginza conveyor belt branch closed on 23 September 2026 after ten years. Visitors should not travel to the old address expecting it to be open.
Nemuro Hanamaru still operates elsewhere in Tokyo. Its current conveyor belt branch inside KITTE Marunouchi is a practical alternative near Tokyo Station.

Our sushi experience
The visit photos show a broad meal rather than one signature order. Salmon was rich and clean tasting. Seared pieces added warmth, while tuna and other plates made it easy to compare textures.
The conveyor belt format kept ordering simple. Guests could take available plates or request specific dishes. Colour coded plates made the running cost easier to understand.

Value
Nemuro Hanamaru offered a useful middle ground between budget conveyor belt sushi and formal omakase. Seasonal seafood and Hokkaido specialities could raise the bill, but plate colours helped guests control spending.
The photographed plates and prices belong to our former Ginza visit. Do not treat them as a current menu for KITTE Marunouchi.
