Kura Revolving Sushi Bar officially opened Friday on the Country Club Plaza, marking its first Missouri and Kansas City-area location.
The high-tech sushi bar took over the space formerly occupied by health-focused eatery t.Loft, which failed to reopen after the COVID-19 shutdown in spring 2020. In a May city filing, Kura projected the buildout would cost $1.5 million.
Kura’s new location at 200 W. 47th St. in Kansas City delivers Japanese cuisine to guests via a double-layer conveyer belt that weaves through the dining room.
