NIce Video! /remember growing up in Palama near Kaiulani Elem School there was Naka"s Okazuya. Musubi,fried chicken,corn beef hash patty and gobo......25 cents, those were the days!
I miss the Okazuya's. Yes pretty expensive but worth it. My go to places are Gulick Deli and Mitsu-Ken. I will give Fukuya a try. thanks for the video.
Torrance, CA is where I was born, grew up and my mom still lives there. I spend Saturday with her every other weekend and I laughed when you said the kaki was from there because yesterday.....I also brought home a tray of kaki.....from Torrance, CA!!! haha I like it crunchy, so I'm eating mine before they get soft! =)
I like your Okaasan reply. My obachan would say if it tastes good or not. I think today the style of okazuya is different. I grew up with the issei and 2nd generation Japanese and Okinawans and let me tell you those obachans can cook. My obachans sushi and andagi was a treat when she use to visit us.
Your so right about Okazuya being so expensive these days! Used to love to go to Honda’s delicatessen back in the day in Liliha! So ono! Now and then since the price went up is still good as a delicious meal to enjoy ❤️really love this video with your mom being the star of the show 🙂
Niki Niki Her spirit is so humble and loving she is definitely a good hearted person and will definitely pray for her health. I’m enjoying seeing her so happy in your videos. What is Ebisu?
First time viewer here. You both are supercute! 🙂 I used to love cone sushi as a kid on Oahu. I have not had it in over 35 years since living on the mainland. You bring back memories of tasty box lunches of my childhood. 🥰 Take care and I will keep watching! 🙂👍
Mah mah, hoo hoo,(horse horse, tiger tiger) is so so in Mandarin also. That food may have been so so, but I could gobble it all up! LOL! Niki, I am so touched by what a caring daughter you are! I hope when you are elderly your family will take such good care of you. You are certainly setting a fine example! Take care and have a good week.
Oh interesting, guess because we lived out in the countryside we never had an okazuya when I was growing up. Nice to see what kinds of items they sell but sorry that the food was only maamaa Lol. My mom also grows both Fuyu and Hachiya persimmons. We had a lot of Fuyu ( more still on the tree) but very little Hachiya so we didn’t make much hoshigaki this year. Thanks for sharing! Good to see your okaasama smiling!
New sub here..I just want to say I admire and respect your love and devotion to your lovely mom..may God bless you and when it's your turn your children will also be there for you..I am enjoying all your videos.
This video was absolutely delightful, especially hearing your okaasama’s honest reviews. My mother is exactly the same. And I’m so happy that your okaasama has been looking so genki lately. Funny coincidence, my mother's maiden name is Fukuya. And she also lives in Southern California and grows kaki. But the birds have been pretty greedy lately, so she doesn’t have very abundant harvests now. Sending love and hugs to you and your okaasama.
My fave is the green with white bean mochi! As your mom says about the cornbeef hash, she can make tastier hash! Lol, I bet I could too! I actually made some last week. The mochiko chicken was expensive! Not worth it if it's ma ma! Now you know, you do have to try it that least once. Your Okasama is looking good and at least she wants to participate. 💜🙏💜🙏
looks so yummy. I remember as a kid going early in the morning with my grandma to one that was on s king street .. i believe it was kinda across kings bakery... man! i miss the food! and the way they use to use paper plate and wrap it in brown paper with a rubber band to hold it in place lol.... fried purple potato was my fave =)
Nandemo mah-mah, ne! Your okasama is too kawaii! I’m with you sister! I can only eat mochi grilled, dipped in shoyu, and wrapped in nori. I’m so sorry that your food was just mah-mah! Especially, with all of the money you spent. The mochiko nori wrapper chicken looked pretty yummy to me. I had to giggle, when you kept giving your okasama so much food! Her reaction was priceless! ☺️ Yes, there are plenty kaki trees all over Southern California . Both Fuyu and Hachiya, are the two varieties around where I live. My okasama had an amazing Fuyu kaki tree. I’m so happy that your neighbors’ family gifted you with some kaki from Torrance. Thank you for sharing your okasama and your meal with us! Continued prayers for your mama! 🙏♥️🙏
My California relatives used to send us dried kaki which I love. I just brought back a big bag from Tokyo--not the best grade but still yummy. Okazuya food is so expensive. Waimalu Kabuki used to have oishii food but haven't been there in ages. Our favorite used to be Sakura in Aiea but alas they closed up. Love your food reviews with your mom!
YUMMY! I Love Fukuya and always make it a point to stop there when I visit Honolulu.. Fukuya, Chi Chan and Mitsuken are my favorites. Oh my, I'm hungry now. Ahahaha!
Hi there,how lovely getting gifts I still confused between Persimmon and Fuji 🗻 fruit,one is firm and one is soft and messy. Years ago my sister brought back another variety from Queensland that had slight chocolate 🍫 flavour. That food looked 😋, but I have to be careful when I visit next year as your $30 equates to $40 in Australia Best wishes to you and your mamma cheers 🍻
Is this Hawaiian's version of Japanese food? Looks good 👍 nice to see your mother enjoying her food 😊 mama means so so in Japanese? Ma in my language means grandma so when you say mama it sounds like you are saying grandma grandma to me lol 😂😃
Great to see your mom today! I know how picky my mom was about Japanese food so your mom's maamaa is still probably pretty good. I wonder what your mom will cook for Thanksgiving? Have a good one! Thanks for sharing and best to you both.
I love Fukuya, but you do have to go earlier in the morning or heat up the food if it's closer to lunch. . I love their miso butterfish and vegetable tempura .
The old time sushi had watercress in it. Nowadays they use spinach since it is cheaper and easier to obtain. Good to see that your mom is genki and eating all kinds of food.
look like blanched/boiled choi sum ?okazu foods are getting more $$$, remember one post earlier this year on Facebook of a order from Mitsuba Delicatessen and was over $11.00. People (who have not purchased these items in a while) were saying the buyer was 'getting ripped off'. Not the case...
Hawaii-style okazuya is a dying art... no one place does it well, to get tasty and good priced okazu you need to go to multiple places depending what items you're seeking... Fukuya is overrated and very expensive

Did you buy it from Tokyo Central, Nijiya or Mitsuwa?
@@keithfreitas2983 She actually got them from a friend that knows I love them and lives nearby. Apparently, her friend has a HUGE tree! =)
Yes the green vegetable was watercress in the maki. Crab cake is bought pre-made

I like Nuuanu Okazuya!!!! if still there

I remember Ebisu? Oh, my mom, my star.. I just have to a catch her in a Good mood
Niki Niki Her spirit is so humble and loving she is definitely a good hearted person and will definitely pray for her health. I’m enjoying seeing her so happy in your videos. What is Ebisu?
Looked so good. I have to go out more.
Good to see your mother doing well.
🙏🏽✍️
Your mom is looking very well. I'm so relieved. Yeah, that 'crab cake'...no no no. Come to East Coast and we'll make you some real ones :D

Yes, the persimmons in Maui are delicious. In fact, we went to the farm a few weeks ago to buy some.
Everything looks so colorful and scrumptious 😍😍 😍 enjoy Bella's ✌️🍀🤗😘
Mah mah, hoo hoo,(horse horse, tiger tiger) is so so in Mandarin also. That food may have been so so, but I could gobble it all up! LOL! Niki, I am so touched by what a caring daughter you are!

Go Cornell! My alma mater- many good memories from there. The campus is so pretty, definitely worth a visit.
Love your videos, as always!
looks so yummy.

It’s against state law to mail fruits and vegetables to & from Hawaii. People can decimate our crops if there’s any bugs inside of the produce.
Lovely adventure video, miss!
Loved the video. Maybe some spicy mayo or other sauces would have helped to perk up your lunch. So glad to see your mother is enjoying the day.

I loved Okaasama’s reaction to the chicken-when she said, “ No....that’s too BIG!!” Made me laugh 😂
Listening to your mother reminds me of my mother in many ways....

That's alot of Okazu. Looked good but it is expensive. Hey the pool looks good!

I didn't know they opened Sunday! I will try next week
Is this Hawaiian's version of Japanese food? Looks good 👍 nice to see your mother enjoying her food 😊 mama means so so in Japanese? Ma in my language means grandma so when you say mama it sounds like you are saying grandma grandma to me lol 😂😃
Pheng Ov Hi Pheng Ov! I always see your name on Shinichi and Satoshi's vids. It's maa maa for so-so.
@@51941028Hello, okay thanks that's a bit different then lol or my spelling wrong for my language? Not sure?
Great to see your mom today! I know how picky my mom was about Japanese food so your mom's maamaa is still probably pretty good. I wonder what your mom will cook for Thanksgiving? Have a good one! Thanks for sharing and best to you both.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have always wanted to try there! Now I will ... Arigatoo Nikki-san, Omaasaaan!!😊🧡
Just noticed that you don’t drink when you eat. Maybe it’s not on camera.
it's true. my mom used to scold me about drinking while eating.. maybe it's a habit...
Nice volg mom is happy ❤🎄🎅💯🆒️👍
To us on the mainland that still looked better than my lunch lol
I agree. I can't even get any of that where I live and if I did, it would be at least twice the price.
I love Fukuya, but you do have to go earlier in the morning or heat up the food if it's closer to lunch. . I love their miso butterfish and vegetable tempura .
The old time sushi had watercress in it. Nowadays they use spinach since it is cheaper and easier to obtain. Good to see that your mom is genki and eating all kinds of food.
Either you went to Fukuya late and missed all the good stuff, or their menu/cook changed. And yes, $3 for a piece of chicken is takai!
Okinawan food
A lot of persimmons in California and cheap, selling for 79 cents a pound.
