    Unassuming spot with incredible sushi, uni was especially fresh. Tempura was excellent, and they have house made tofu. Extensive sake menu. We loved it.

    Our reservation just happen to be on the day when Kubota sake had a free tasting of their new 2025 offerings. Food was excellent and Kubota sake was flowing. What's not to like.

    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
