"There are only two Dean & DeLucas left in the country, and they’re both in Hawai‘i. Head to the one at the Ritz-Carlton, which offers bento boxes made to order by Sushi Sho, the 10-seat restaurant a few floors up, where sushi master Keiji Nakazawa presides. An omakase there starts at $300, but you can taste a bit of the chef’s exquisite precision with the bento box ($16), which includes oversized but meticulously crafted maki rolls. The exact contents rotate, but you might find rolls stuffed with unagi, shrimp, and tamago as fluffy as sponge cake, accompanied by hearts of palm grown in Hawai‘i. [$$]" - Martha Cheng
