Here's a great restaurant to go to if you want to taste some good Japanese food, this is the place to go. The owner is from Osaka, Japan and a very nice guy. Osaka is known for their great food so he had open up his own restaurant in Hawaii to share with others.

It has a counter table where you can chat with the owner while he's cooking or making something for the customers. It's a very relaxing place to enjoy eating Japanese food and chatting with other from all over the world.

What we recommend on the menu to try is the "Geso Kara-age" (Deep Fried Squid legs), "Chirimi-Cabbage" (Dry White Bate with Cabbage Stir fried), "Hottke" (Japanese fish from Houkaidoo, Japan), and "Adamame" (Boiled Soybeans). On the bottom is the address on where "Takonoki" is located, also if you you click the link it will take you their site where you can get a discount coupon. So if when you get a chance to visit and dine there, tell the owner that Nao & Tomie from Osaka sent you.
