noun
sushi counter; counter in a sushi restaurant
Refers to the counter where sushi is prepared and served directly to customers, typically with a display case for ingredients.
付け台の前で職人が握るのを見るのが好きだ。
I like watching the chef make sushi at the counter.
人気店の付け台はいつも予約でいっぱいだ。
The counter at popular sushi restaurants is always fully booked.
Compound of 付け (tsuke, from 付ける 'to attach' or 'to prepare') and 台 (dai, 'stand' or 'counter'). The exact derivation is uncertain; the spelling 漬け台 suggests a possible association with 漬ける (to soak/pickle), but this is not standard.
