Controversies and legal

Incidents

Japan

A Japanese Consumer Affairs Agency report released in June 2022 accused Sushiro of false advertising, by claiming a "limited offer" of sea urchin and crab sushi while having no stock of these in most stores.

On 29 January 2023, a video emerged showing a 17-year-old student at Sushiro’s Gifu Masakiten licking a soy sauce bottle and a cup before returning them, sucking his finger, and touching sushi moving along the conveyor belt. This caused the stock price of Food & Life Companies, the parent company of Sushiro, to plummet. Its market value lost more than 16 billion yen. In August, Sushiro dropped its lawsuit against the student, saying that he admitted his "responsibility" and reached a "reasonable" agreement. His attorneys argued that the decrease in customers could have been due to competition from other restaurants.

Taiwan

At the beginning of 2021, a two-day promotional event by Sushiro in Taiwan promised to serve free sushi to people with the word "salmon" in their name. This caused multiple Taiwanese people to change their names to include the word "salmon", an event the media dubbed "salmon chaos".

China

Multiple Sushiro chains in Guangzhou, China came under fire for linguistic discrimination after the chain's supervisors banned the Cantonese language between employees on its online chat groups. Sushiro later apologised, amid local boycotts.
