侍悟丸迴轉壽司（台中米平方店）

Last time I went to a budget sushi place that claimed to beat chain conveyor belt sushi, but before long I was proven wrong by Shiwumaru, hahahaha.

🏠 Environment and Service
Located in the M Square Plaza on Guoan 1st Road, this regional chain conveyor belt sushi restaurant (currently with locations in Taichung, Yunlin, and Chiayi) has a nice environment. It’s on the first floor, and you don’t have to queue on weekdays during lunch. Everything you need while dining is at the table; most dishes come via the conveyor belt train, with a few items delivered by staff (you have to press a button to send the train back, which is pretty fun xD).

🍽️ Food
All the sushi rice is freshly shaped; the balance of sweet and sour flavors is quite good, not leaning too much to either side. It has an airy quality, and the fish portions are well attached, so they don’t fall off when dipped in soy sauce (that's basic, right?). There’s also a distinction between the light soy sauce for sushi and the soy sauce paste for tempura. Overall, the food is quite good, though the squid from Penghu was surprisingly a bit tough to chew; I didn’t try the bright skin fish this time, saving that for next time.

I highly recommend the grilled seafood set, which includes salmon, mackerel, tuna, flounder, and scallops, with each piece having slightly different seasonings—quite nice.

The side dishes were also good; the miso soup had a rich vegetable base, and the fish was cooked just right. The fried chicken was on the saltier side, with little sweetness; it was juicy dark meat with a light, crispy batter. It was originally a bit salty, but after squeezing some lemon, it became just right—then I added some soy sauce paste for a touch of sweetness.

The only downside is that the seasonal menu items don’t have pictures; the staff will read them out, but with my goldfish memory, I only remembered that the squid gunkan was 40 NT dollars, and I forgot the prices of the other two items xDDD.
