Daichi Ramen

Tried this Japanese restaurant in Hawaii (we had an interesting conversation about a Japanese restaurant in this state, but I guess 80 years is a long time that it isn’t an issue).

I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was good, but the pork was too salty. Also, I tried the gyoza, and only thought it was ok. The shrimp and chicken karaage were basically like breaded shrimp and chicken. I was ok with it, but definitely under impressed.

Also, unfortunately this place does not serve any alcohol.

Overall, not sure if I would go back to this place.

Kemuri Japanese Baru

This place was awesome for several reasons. One, it has a full bar, and two, the food was great (but not cheap).

For drinks, I ordered the Kemuri Manhattan ( I gotta say it was a bit too Smokey for my taste). My second drink, however, was amazing. It was the RWC Breeze (Vidka, April, pineapple juice). It was just the right amount of sweetness and tasted refreshing.

For the main dishes, we ordered the soft shell crab, the Kobe style beef (grill), shiitake mushrooms skewer, chicken karaage , beef tataki kale salad, and the uni paella. Everything was great except for the mushrooms (they seemed under cooked or dry).
