Our second Hawaii location, known for its fresh seafood bowls and our hugely popular Negitoro Don (minced tuna bowl), is now open on Piikoi Street in the Ala Moana area—just a short walk from Ala Moana Shopping Center. The interior recreates an authentic Japanese atmosphere, making you feel as if you’ve stepped right into Japan—not just in taste, but also in ambiance and hospitality. We proudly serve fresh, locally caught Hawaiian tuna, as well as uni (sea urchin), scallops, and ikura (salmon roe) flown in directly from Japan. Be sure to try our signature Negitoro Don, loved by many! If you love seafood and Japanese cuisine, this is definitely a place you’ll enjoy.
