Before it feels too much like fall, here is my trip back to Hawaii
One of my favorite beaches for some tanning, swimming, and sun.
The complete Hawaiian spread when I got home from the beach.

The feast for two at Lanikai.
Grandma's home cooked meal. Macaroni salad, my favorite fried chicken, musubis, and fried noodles.

The Deadbeats at Jazz Minds. My favorite local band.

Katsu at
Bairin-Ginza. This is our go-to place for late night happy hour katsu treats! I've been craving some top notch katsu for months. My fave..yamaimo shiso katsu. Also a must-have at Bairin...shime saba!!!
