Japanese Comfort Food
Our recipes provide new twists on family favorites. Our local Japanese-style deli serves a wide variety of sides, snacks, and entrees available to take on the go or enjoy in our okazuya. We change our selection slightly every day, and we’re always adding new items to our menu, so you can return again and again to try Japanese food you haven’t tasted before.
Newly Expanded
In 2018, Nu'uanu Okazuya expanded to include a larger kitchen and spacious dining area. Customers will appreciate our newly modern atmosphere and upgraded seating options. We provide a warm, brightly lit space to enjoy your Japanese food with friends, as well as a vast display case that features all of our daily offerings.
Locally Owned
Our owner, Mark Kitagawa, grew up enjoying Japanese food from local okazuyas. When he noticed a decrease in the number of beloved Japanese delis on the island, he decided to keep that childhood tradition alive by running his very own restaurant. As a result, here you’ll find food that recalls the comforts of home, prepared with time-honored recipes.

Unlike other local okazuyas, we’re open seven days a week! Stop by Nu'uanu Okazuya to try our signature fishcakes or andagi, which comes in more than 80 flavors. Experience everything our newly expanded Japanese restaurant has to offer by visiting us today.
