Shokudo Japanese Restaurant and Bar Honolulu, HI

Located in what was earlier a bank, Shokudo strikes you as po-mo with its stark whites and reds. With around 60 delicacies to choose from, it's rare for someone to walk away displeased. They also have a bar stocking Shochu and Sake along with other wines, beers and soft drinks. Yet, none of this is intimidating and it's easy to relax after the initial assault on the senses. The service is quick, whether you call for sushi, dishes with tofu, made fresh everyday in house or their rice and meat preparations. You also have a choice of making your own temaki rolls. Make yourself comfortable at the booths or tables or at the bar and enjoy the new trend of izakaya dining.
