For the seasoned sushi aficionado, there's the sushi bar omasake, where you'll be instructed by the sushi master on how to eat each delicious morsel. While very pricey, this is a one-of-a-kind experience highly recommended to those who respect the art of preparing Japanese food. Reservations are required.
With two sushi bars, four master sushi chefs, countless types of nigiri sushi and at least 15 kinds of sashimi, it is no wonder that this place is regularly voted best sushi in Honolulu. In addition to sushi, there is a six-page menu of cooked and raw Japanese specialties ranging from broiled fish to Tororo. The drink menu is equally impressive, including several varieties of sake. Also, the combination lunch menus are a real bargain. The entry walls are decorated with photos of visiting celebrities including Michael Jackson and Gene Hackman. The restaurant can be unpleasantly crowded at dinner, while lunch is more comfortable.
