4. Get a waiting ticket

At the restaurant entrance, the reception screen shows the approximate number of parties ahead and the estimated wait. The interface may change, but the walk-in flow is straightforward.

Enter the total number of guests and the number of children, then choose a table or counter. A table is usually easier for families, but choosing either may shorten the wait.

The machine prints a ticket with a three-digit waiting number. If parties are ahead of you, keep the ticket and wait near the entrance where you can see or hear the call screens.

5. Watch the two call screens

The monitors show which waiting number is next and which numbers are currently being called. Announcements were made in Japanese and English during Aya’s visit, but the restaurant can be noisy, so watch the numbers rather than relying only on the audio.

NEXT is the next number scheduled to be called. The boxes above show guests currently being directed to a seat.
Second Sushiro waiting monitor showing called and upcoming numbers
The second monitor carries the same queue information. Keep your three-digit ticket ready.

When your number is called, scan the barcode printed on the waiting ticket at the machine. It will issue a new slip with your table or counter seat number.

Do not throw away the second slip.

It identifies your seat and works as the payment card at the end of the meal. You will scan its barcode at the self-checkout.

If there are zero parties waiting

The machine may print your seat/payment slip immediately instead of making you wait for a call. Check the table or counter number and go inside.

6. Enter and find your seat

The slip tells you whether to use a table or counter and gives the seat number. Signs are displayed along the aisle. If the number is hard to find, show the slip to a staff member and say, “Sumimasen” (Excuse me).

9. How the sushi and plate system work

During Aya’s visit, sushi was not circulating freely around the restaurant. Each item was ordered from the touchscreen and delivered to the seat on the upper delivery lane. Watch the screen and lane after the arrival alert, then take only the food delivered for your seat.

Made-to-order dishes arrive directly on the upper lane. The service system can change, so follow the screen shown during your visit.

Prices are grouped by item and plate-price category. Your order history and checkout screen show what was ordered and the total. Leave empty plates at the table; there is no need to carry them to the register.

What payment methods can you use?

11. Aya’s family and first-timer tips

  • Choose a table when possible. It gives families more space than the counter, although the wait may be longer.
  • Include children in the check-in count. The restaurant needs the correct party size to assign suitable seating.
  • Keep children away from the hot-water tap. The lever releases very hot water for tea.
  • Keep the seat/payment slip visible. Place it somewhere dry so it is easy to find at checkout.
  • Watch for separate arrivals. Dishes ordered together may reach the lane at different times.
  • Use the Allergens button. The English touchscreen includes an allergen information option, but speak with staff if an allergy is serious.
  • Ask before blocking an aisle with luggage. This is a busy Tokyo Station branch; staff can help you find the safest place for large bags or a stroller.
Aya’s local tip

Lunch and dinner queues can grow quickly. If the waiting screen shows a long estimate, get your ticket first, stay close enough to watch the call monitors, and have one person keep the three-digit ticket. Do not confuse it with the seat/payment slip you receive later.

12. Quick FAQ

Is Sushiro Yaechika inside the Tokyo Station ticket gates?

No. It is outside the paid JR area in Yaesu Underground Shopping Mall, so leave through a Yaesu ticket gate first.

Can I make a reservation?

Yes. Sushiro’s official FAQ says regular branches accept reservations through the smartphone Sushiro app; telephone reservations are not accepted. In the app, choose “Go Later” to select a time slot up to one month ahead, then check in at the reception machine when you arrive. The time slot gives you priority, but it does not guarantee immediate seating and the actual call time can move depending on the queue. Walk-ins can still use the ticket process shown in this guide.

Can I order in English?

Yes. The photographed touchscreen offers English, and Sushiro’s official information lists English, Simplified Chinese, and Korean support.

Do I need to speak Japanese?

Not for the basic check-in, ordering, or self-checkout flow. If you need help, show the relevant ticket and say “Sumimasen.”

Do plates continuously rotate around this branch?

During Aya’s visit, food was ordered on the touchscreen and delivered directly on the upper lane rather than circulating freely. Follow the current instructions because store systems can change.

Can our group pay separately?

The photographed checkout screen states that individual payment is unavailable, so plan to pay one bill for the table and settle between yourselves afterward.

Can I pay with Suica?

The current Yaechika branch listing says electronic money is unavailable. Bring cash, an accepted credit card, or a supported QR payment method.

What if the payment-slip barcode will not scan?

Do not discard the slip. Say “Sumimasen” to a staff member and hand them the paper so they can assist.
