There's nothing fancy about this little Japanese restaurant--the only Japanese restaurant convenient for East Honolulu residents--but the food is solid and the value is great. You have the standard Japanese fare of teriyaki, sashimi, yaki-zakana, etc.--nothing fancy but tastes ono and you don't have to pay any premium. There is no sushi bar so there's no emphasis on pricey sushi or sashimi--but on the other hand there is also no variety and the quality, appropriately, isn't something to write home about (what little offerings they do have is still better than those awful rotating sushi joints in town). Items of note though are their Chanko Nabe (a hotpot made famous by it's being the staple of big sumo wrestlers) and the Unagi Yanagigawa (imagine Unagi bathed in egg and a shoyu-laden broth).
During lunch they also sell great bentos in various sizes--none more than $6.50. The large bento (containing beef teriyaki, tonkatsu, salmon, tempura, rice and tsukemono) can be ordered at dinner time.
