Kura Sushi is set to expand to Framingham into the old Shoppers World location at 1 Worcester Rd Unit 700B, according to recent permit filings.
A representative of Kura Sushi did not immediately return What Now Boston’s request for comment.
While the opening date has yet to be confirmed, with Kura Sushi’s origins dating back to 1977 in Japan, they have gained popularity for its unique conveyor belt sushi concept, where a variety of food items are displayed on a moving conveyor belt, allowing diners to select their desired dishes as they pass by their tables.
Embracing the Japanese virtue of serving natural and healthy meals, Kura Sushi takes pride in using only fresh, premium ingredients to deliver an exceptional taste experience. The restaurant aims to provide an authentic Japanese dining experience, and all dishes are free of artificial sweeteners, seasonings, preservatives, and colorings.
One of the key factors that set Kura Sushi apart is its commitment to freshness. To ensure the highest quality of food, they have developed a patented technology known as Mr. Fresh™. This system utilizes ventilated sushi lids with plate-tracking technology, ensuring that each dish is always fresh when it reaches the customers’ table.
Adding to the dining adventure at Kura Sushi is the presence of their beloved mascot, Mutenmaru. On the tablet screens available at each table, Mutenmaru entertains customers and seeks their assistance in a fun game. By depositing 15 sushi plates, diners can unlock a surprise reward, adding an element of playfulness to their meal, according to the company website.
