Osaka’s highly anticipated Expo 2025 (関西万博) has officially kicked off, bringing with it a world-first dining experience at the new Kura Sushi Osaka Expo store (くら寿司 大阪万博店). Touted as the world’s largest Kura Sushi location, this restaurant features an impressive 338-seat dining area and an expansive 135-meter conveyor belt, making it a must-visit spot for locals and international tourists alike.
The video takes you inside this massive kaiten-zushi (conveyor belt sushi) establishment, showcasing its innovative design and dynamic atmosphere. Customers will discover how the queue and ticketing system operates to efficiently manage large crowds, and get an inside look at the restaurant’s decor, which has been generating significant buzz on social media.
A highlight of the Osaka Expo store is its unique global menu featuring exclusive dishes from 70 different countries, crafted specially for Expo 2025. The video provides a comprehensive look (with actual taste tests) at limited-time items such as San Marino’s piadina, UAE’s papparoti, Angola’s chicken moamba, Peru’s ceviche, and many others like German currywurst, American hamburgers, Indonesian kolaq labu, British Sunday roast, Korean soy-marinated shrimp (kanjangsaewoo), and more. There’s also a segment where the reviewer wins a gacha capsule prize—a popular Japanese twist to the dining experience.
Conveniently located at the Expo 2025 site in Osaka, the Kura Sushi Expo store blends Japanese culinary culture with international flavors, offering one-of-a-kind souvenirs, exclusive dishes, and an immersive kaiten-zushi adventure. Even if you’re not planning to attend the Expo, the restaurant provides a rare glimpse into how Japanese chains innovate during major global events, and serves as inspiration for food enthusiasts wanting to sample cuisine from around the world—all in one place in Osaka.
