Genki Sushi Hawaii

45-480 Kaneohe Bay Drive
Kaneohe, Hawaii 96744
808-247-9595

Several locations on Oahu; Also located on Maui and Kauai.

A good Revolving fresh sushi place. Check out the site: genkisushiusa.com

The menu offers several different types of sushi, sashimi, fried items, and other small Japanese orders served on color-coded plates to distinguish price:

You can wait for the pieces to come around, or order it right away! Although it’s mostly self-serve, the service is also great.

Unlimited ginger right in front of you!! The wasabi goes around the conveyor belt with the sushi, and it’s also unlimited.

Conveyor belt action. Just pick it up and eat! Impulse-item sushi.

Nigiri. So fresh and tasty for simple fried tofu. Just the right amount of sweetness and the sushi rice was fresh, too. Tidbit about the rice from genkisushiusa.com: Known as the sushi robot, [a] machine can produce 1,000 rice balls (Gunkan) in one hour. Today, the latest model can produce double the quantity within the same period. Traditionally, these rice balls were made by hand and were time consuming. With the introduction of the sushi robots in 1980, Saito’s little army of mechanical arms once again set the way to bring sushi within the reach of everyone. $1.40 2/pc

Nigiri Ikageso: So fresh; So good. The squid legs were just the right texture. Only $1.40 2/pc

Set your own Natto roll. Natto, fermented soybeans, usually has quite a bitter after-taste, but this roll was really good. Practically not bitter at all, but we could still distinguish the distinct natto taste.

Vegetable croquette: This was very, very good, fresh, and warm. It was similar to a hash brown, but so much better. Potato, Corn, Carrots, Peas, Panko, Egg fried with light, flaky Japanese batter.

Once done with each color-coded plate, we simply stack them up and put them to the side where the server counts them up later.

Unfortunately, Genki’s only USA locations are in Hawaii for now. If you are in Hawaii, I definitely recommend stopping by when you are looking for good, cheap eats. It’s something different.

Miniature Food Erasers

This is my 2 year anniversary post for Foodnatic! Hooray! I hope you enjoy the lovely spread I have collected throughout the years… as well as my passion for all things related to food.

Has it been 2 years already?? Actually, it was 2 in January but of course you know my procrastination habits… regardless, I still wanted to give you readers something a little different and special! I have here my collection of miniature food erasers I gathered throughout the years, specifically by manufacturer, Iwako. More pictures less talk right? As always…

This is the mega spread, I do have duplicates, but I decided to keep those in the box for picture purposes… I know this picture will be updated in the future.

This is how a typical package looks like, a collection of about 6-8 erasers. They also come in singles and groups of 3-6. For this particular set theme, it was Chinese dim sum. The detail is so intricate that is what makes it so amazing to look at and collect.

And here I have them spread out for the photo shoot.

Here we have the noodle soup from the picture above taken apart to show each separate piece. The best part of these erasers is that a different color is a different piece! Great to take apart and put together again and again.

Japanese meal collection complete with tempura bento and burner.

Japanese sushi collection with maguro, ika, shrimp, tamago, uni, and roe.

For those with a penchant for sweets.

Instant ramen in detail.

The American super value meal.

American junk food? Delicious!

Canned fizzy drinks.

Cute bottled drinks.

The fruit tray.

The veggie tray.

Size comparison of the honey dew melon to a quarter.

Again, just look at the details!

So, I hope you enjoyed looking over my eraser collection. I absolutely love them to pieces!  And the best part is, zero fat and lots of fiber!
