The food at the Halekulani Hotel is generally a cut above other Waikiki hotels. But somehow, Mel wanted something “more” after last night’s reception at the Hau Terrace. After all, yesterday was Girl’s Day in Hawaii.

So, to satisfy this craving we again stopped at our favorite sushi bar, Zen Shu, for “supplemental dinner” on the way home.

Ryuji sensei always delivers.

Here is a sampling of some of the wonderful sushi by Sensei Ryuji.
