This low-key sushi spot in Keeamoku offers an exceptional omakase experience, thanks to Chef Ryuji's careful attention to detail and delicate balancing of bold flavors that highlight (but never mask) the fresh fish. Try to nab a seat at the sushi bar directly in front of him to watch the magic happen. You can trust that Ryuji will bring you his best, but if you prefer a la carte to omasake, the move is to order the off-menu Wagyu Musubi, which melts in your mouth and is worth the hefty price tag. End your meal adventurously with the natto sundae -- its unique combination of natto, shiso, vanilla ice cream, corn flakes, and Jack Daniels sauce plays together unexpectedly well.
