    A wonderful experience. We had a great time and will be back. The homemade tofu is excellent. Sake selection was also outstanding.

    This is a small gem on Oahu. Easily one of the best and most authentic Japanese restaurants on the island. This is my third time and meal, service and ambiance was perfect! I look forward to my next time

    We had a wonderful time! Service was excellent and food was delicious. We really enjoyed the amaebi head miso soup, deep fried baby shrimp and the Omakase Chirashi. We will definitely be back for more!

    Food was excellent, our previous experience with the quality of the food always brings us back here to dine. However our service was disappointing: not so friendly waitress (rarity) and feeling rushed to get our food ordered and eaten. It could be that another very large group of people made this small izakaya a little stressed but nevertheless we were disappointed. We were a party of 4 with 2 guests from the mainland and so looked forward to this special dinner.

    The food is all appetizing, especially 5 kinds of Sashimi and chicken karaage are fantastic.
