Sushi Ginza Onodera's Hawaii outpost, housed in a small wood-hued building on Kapahulu Avenue, was the Ginza Onodera group's first US location, open since 2013. The restaurant holds one Michelin star and serves exclusively omakase, with no a la carte ordering. Chef Takeshi Shimbashi leads a team trained at the group's Ginza flagship, applying traditional Edomae techniques: curing with salt and two types of red vinegar, marinating in soy sauce, and flash-blanching certain fish. The rice is prepared with aged red vinegar blended with sake lees.
Dinner omakase runs $300 and is served Monday through Friday at 5pm and 7:30pm. On weekends, lunch omakase is offered at 11am and 1pm for $150, with an expanded menu on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays that adds abalone steak and a larger nigiri course. All seatings last about two hours. Seating is counter-only, with a private room available during lunch service in September and October only; it is not offered for dinner.
Reservations are booked through OpenTable, and the restaurant is classified as a moderate booking difficulty, so advance planning is recommended. Credit cards are accepted. The address is 808 Kapahulu Avenue, Honolulu, in the Diamond Head/Kapahulu/St. Louis Heights area, and the restaurant can also be reached by phone at (808) 735-2375.
