   We are Wine Educators as well as Wine Consultants formerly from NYC so we take restaurant reviews very seriously. My wife is an amazing Chef/Cook so we really don’t have to go out for dinner too much. Han No Daidokoro was a true epiphany and we have rarely used this term when reviewing a restaurant. We love US Prime beef and we usually have it shipped to us here on Oahu either from Snake River Farm or Peter Luger. Our knowledge and experience with Wagu Beef either from Japan or the mainland is very minuscule so with the unbelievable help of our Master Waitstaff Shizue we ordered the 2 Miyazaki & Washu courses. This included both Japanese and American Wagu from different parts of the cow. Shizue was a total master in teaching us what parts of the cow and where each portion was from. The Japanese portion was to die for. So complex it can only be compared to Uni from Hoekido or white truffles from Italy. Being both Wine Educators as well as Elementary School Teachers we were overjoyed with her techniques and warmth. We only hope we get her or someone similar the next time we come back. Of course the Japanese meat was overwhelming the best. Even the kimchi and salad were great. We did bring our own wine ( $35 corkage) which truly married the meat. The ambiance was so refreshing and relaxing. The total gastronomic experience. Worth every $$$.

   Staff and service were great! We ordered the washyu and miyazaki beef tenderloin lunch set which was served with a toss salad, tofu, miso soup and Hokkaido rice. The meat was so tender and tasty! After our meal we were served a cup of corn barley hot tea. It was flavorful and tasted the way popcorn smells. We’ll be back again soon!

   どの部位もとても美味しかったです。 やまいもキムチやカクテキ・白菜キムチも白ごはんも美味しいです。 ハイボールが、微炭酸でとても薄かったのが残念です。

   Great service, great food. Definitely recommend this restaurant for yakiniku style meats. Exhaust is amazing. You leave there without a hint of your bbq meal. Extremely attentive staff from kitchen to the manager.
