Every 5 dish allows for one draw opportunity. The prize is a cellphone strap with one of their dishes as the hanging deco. A well thought-out marketing scheme, as guests would try to eat more to round up to multiples of five for more draw chances.

In addition to the standard rotating belt, you can also make special orders all via their computer touch screen.  It will be served to you in an "express belt" where your selection will stop at your table. The
Express lane that stops at your table.  The computer screen will also show its estimated arrival time.

Empty dishes are dropped in this slot counter that adds up your total dishes consumed.  Also used to count the number of dishes for billing purposes.

Unlike typical green tea served in Japanese restaurants, Kura serves matcha - thumbs up!

Kura also serves more than just sushi. They also have tempuras & soup noodles. No sashimi though, so you quickly become full with all the rice ingested.

 

Becareful not to overstuff yourself!
