Sushi Sasabune offers a unique Omakase-style sushi experience. We specialize in using as much local fish as possible, creating a meal that can be found nowhere else in the world! Sasabune is a specialty sushi restaurant, meaning we do not serve tempura, noodles, California rolls etc. All nigiri are served with its own unique sauce and topping, meant to be eaten as is. In the words of head chef and owner Seiji Kumagawa, "Trust me!"
Omakase only, limited seating (party of 6 max), please call (808) 947-3800 for reservations.

It started out with some very good fish, albeit with a somewhat peculiar preparation: a squirt of some kind of mayonnaise? Overall, the food was just OK, and definitely NOT authentic Japanese style. Not worth the very high prices.
