Customer Reviews
“ *Reservations Recommended* small Japanese Kyushu Style izakaya that packs a big crowd due to their wide variety of food. Hidden gem on Beretania street across from Dew Drop Inn and next to the Salvation Army. Known for their motsu nabe and chicken nanban, their sashimi is also top notch (the owner goes out and catches the fish himself at times). Crowd is mostly Japanese customers so you know this is legit Great for a group of friends so you can share dishes. My go to is the motsu nabe, horumon yaki, chicken tebasaki, gyoza, squid rings and chikuwaAnd the Super Lemon Chuhais. カンパイ Limited parking available in the building parking lot (5 stalls) or on the street. ”
“ I first came here in 2022, and came again this week! One of my fav izakaya spots since it has it all - delicious food, great service, and fun izakaya atmosphere that reminds me of Japan. Favorites: assorted sashimi plate, salt + pepper chicken wings, deep fried corn, radish salad, gyoza, grilled mackerel, and monk fish liver. I want to go with a bigger group next time to order more ”
“ Very attentive staff. They ask u if you have a reservation even if the place is empty which I found rather strange. Good food and drinks at reasonable prices. Wish the air conditioning was little better but other than that.. Great place for a quick bite or place to hang out and catch with family and friends. ”
“ Nice authentic izakaya place! Vibe was cozy and very Japanese style. We got the fried chicken recommended by the waiter, my boyfriend loved it and said it’s currently his no.1. Sweet potato was glazed but would have prefer if it were crispy. The croquettes were gooey and so smooth, I loved it! Potstickers were so juicy, loved the sauce. Sashimi was super fresh especially the ahi! Overall great place to visit for authentic Japanese style food! ”
“ What a Gem! Had the chef sashimi special… throw out the wasabi soy sauce! This is THE BEST I’ve had in Honolulu. Felt compelled to order 4 more things off the menu, but only took one photo. ”
“ Great food! Highly recommend the beef small intestine hotpot with dashi soup base. Monkfish liver also tastes delicious. Pasta is too salty for me. ”
