When Robots Roll Your Sushi: Tokyo’s AI-Powered Omakase is Real, and It’s Hilarious
Ever looked at your sushi and thought, “Wow, I wish a robot chose this for me”?
No? Well… Tokyo did. And now it’s a thing.
🎌 Welcome to the Future of Sushi Dining
At the ever-trendy Sushiro Namba Amza in Tokyo, the sushi experience has gone full sci-fi. Here, artificial intelligence crafts your omakase menu based on data, vibes, sushi sorcery, and possibly your browsing history (kidding… we hope).
No chef with a man bun and judgmental eyes. Just cold, calculating AI that knows you:
- Like tuna but secretly adore crab mayo rolls 🦀
- Hate cucumber maki (because why is that even sushi, right?)
- Can demolish a platter faster than the algorithm can say “matcha mochi”

🤖 How It Works (Spoiler: The Robot is Smarter Than All of Us)
This sushi-brained AI looks at:
- What people are ordering
- What’s trending right now
- What ingredients are seasonal and sexy
- And somehow, what you might like before you do
Your sushi is optimized, personalized, and served like it’s been through a culinary dating app and swiped right on you.
🍱 Result? A tailor-made sushi experience that’s efficient, less wasteful, and honestly kind of cool.
🧠 Chef’s Take: Would I Let a Robot Make My Menu?
As a chef who’s chopped across continents and created multicuisine madness, I’m equal parts intrigued and slightly threatened by our new robot overlords.
But hey—if the AI serves up the good stuff (and saves me from questionable cucumber rolls), I’m down.
Still… if a robot ever suggests pineapple nigiri, we riot. But grading tuna like a Michelin inspector on Adderall? Now that’s next level.

But Wait, There’s Tuna-Tech!
Tokyo’s AI sushi scene isn’t just about picking your plate—it’s also about grading your fish like a hyper-intelligent seafood sommelier.
Meet Sonofai, a wild invention by Fujitsu that uses ultrasound + artificial intelligence to scan whole tuna and judge their fat content.
Here’s the tea (or, the toro):
🐟 It scans the fish like it’s doing a CT scan for sashimi.
💻 It analyzes the marbling, fat layers, and overall sushi-worthiness.
🎯 It tells the chefs, “Yeah, this one’s got melt-in-your-mouth energy.”
Basically: Robots are now better at spotting premium fish than some sushi chefs.
