Yoshitsune

Authentic Japanese restaurant · Diamond Head

"Many of the Japanese restaurants in Waikīkī are new outposts of chains from Japan, but Yoshitsune is an old-school, independent holdout tucked into the back of Park Shore hotel. In the early mornings, the restaurant serves a traditional Japanese breakfast teishoku (set meal) of broiled fish, rice, pickles, and natto. At lunch and dinner, many tables order kamameshi, iron pots of rice simmered with seafood such as crab or abalone (and in the fall, matsutake mushrooms). Also stunning is the two-tier chirashi, presented like a box of jewels. [$$$]" - Martha Cheng
