Tsumami
Tsumami are the plates you eat standing up in an izakaya. Ours come out within four minutes because they are built to fill the gap between sitting down and the bowl arriving, not to be a starter course.

Tsumami dishes
Pork gyoza餃子
$11Six pieces. Big Island pork shoulder, Nalo cabbage, garlic chive, folded by hand at 7 am. Pan-steamed with a lace skirt, black vinegar and chili oil.
Rice lager. The lace crust wants carbonation, not more fat.
Shoyu karaage唐揚げ
$13Thigh marinated overnight in shoyu, ginger and sake, dredged in potato starch, fried twice. Served with yuzu kosho mayonnaise and a lemon wedge.
Junmai, chilled. Acidity rinses the double-fried crust.
Ajitama味玉
$4One soy-cured egg, cooked six and a half minutes, chilled hard, then marinated 12 hours in tare and mirin. Jammy centre, never chalky.
Chashu plateチャーシュー
$14Four slices of the belly we braise for the tonkotsu, torched, brushed with tare, finished with karashi mustard and shaved onion.
Junmai, warmed to 105F. Warm sake softens rendered belly fat on the palate.
Cucumber sunomono酢の物
$8Smashed Japanese cucumber, rice vinegar, kombu salt, toasted sesame, shiso. Dressed to order so it never weeps.
Charred garlic edamame枝豆
$9Blistered in a dry wok, tossed with confit garlic, Kauai sea salt and a squeeze of lime.
Kauai shrimp tempura海老天
$16Three head-on prawns from a Kekaha pond, ice-cold batter, fried at 355F, served with tentsuyu and grated daikon.
Ginjo, chilled. Floral sake keeps a delicate batter from tasting heavy.

Allergens in the tsumami list
A filled square means the dish contains it. A hollow square means we can leave it out if you ask when you order. Pork is not a clinical allergen but it is tracked here because it matters in a ramen shop.
