march 6 – honolulu – hatsuhana (hilton hawaiian village's japanese restaurant)

by far, the best sushi i’ve ever had. my pal brad and i tried several kinds:

unagi (apparently my new favorite sushi)
squid (delicious if ever so slightly tougher than i expected)
spicy tuna (fantastic, probably the best of our selections)
fresh fish roe (i actually did not try this as i had some at todai’s the night before and did not like it at all)
volcano (creamy spicy scallops)

exceptionally fresh, nicely presented, and very reasonably priced.

service was quite good too as dave, unable or unwilling to try sushi, ordered chicken teriyaki, which he also did not like. the server was so upset that he hadn’t eaten enough that she gave all of us free ice cream. we should all eat with dave more often.
