We met at Mamaya, I think this shop recently opened in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center.
It is an okazuya/sozaiya type place which you can purchase pre-made bento or "make your own".
Similar to Japan, The "make your own" is weighed after you fill up your container of choice. But, is $7.75 per pound, so if you think your eyes may be bigger than your stomach, I would suggest going the pre-made route.
Genki and I had their mini poke bowls...each $5.75 + tax (this is something that Japan should start serving!).
She had the spicy ahi (yellow fin tuna) while I had the shoyu ahi (they also have an oyster sauce ahi poke). I thought these mini bowls were the perfect serving size, though Satoshi would probably disagree.
I had a nice time chatting with her and the poke bowl was delicious. (Oh, and you can choose multi-grain or white rice, I chose multi-grain and was impressed that there is no extra charge for the multi-grain rice...whoo!)
Besides sweet bean paste, did you know that Nisshodo has fillings like coconut & peanut butter? I didn't...so yummy!
It was so nice to put a face to the blog, and I hope she had a nice time too.
Thanks again Genki!

I'll probably check that place out next time I'm on that side!
If you're ever in Kailua area, I recommend Hibachi. They have really good variety of poke.
