Write a short summary of what happens in the ambient or digital execution or campaign.

The Yamanote Line forms a loop around the center of Tokyo, serving some 60 million monthly passengers. By turning platform gates into sushi store counter seats, and trains into sushi-bearing conveyor belts, we made the world's largest kaiten-zushi (conveyor belt sushi) appear in Tokyo. The first of its kind in Japan, the combined advertising on trains and platform gates offered commuters a simulated sushi experience, in a grand attempt to entice their tastebuds.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

Kaiten-zushi is one of Japan's national foods, beloved by people of all ages. Despite being Japan's top kaiten-zushi chain, Sushiro only has four stores in central Tokyo, and even these are not well known. Seeking to boost sales and make serious inroads in the capital, Sushiro urgently needed to raise its presence in Tokyo.
