    Find this place! Well worth it. Nice service and the chef’s specialty - Hawaiian shrimp with garlic miso butter - is incredible.

    Amaterasu is a hidden gem of a restaurant. Yes, you can book reservations online through Open Table and in my experience, reservations secure seats at the counter for the prime omakase experience. We showed up for our reservation a few minutes early, but we were also allowed to take a seat inside before all guests were in attendance. The restaurant has elegant wood finishes and decor that draws a clear line between the interior and exterior surroundings of the area. I believe this is an omakase only restaurant. You shouldn't come expecting to order ala carte. However, I can't confirm that for walk-ins so I would advise you check that out yourself if you waltz by and want to give this place a shot. There is a large table that is used to seat walk-in customers. The chef has an immense amount of experience and prepares unique, but familiar types of dishes. This is 100% the best omakase for the price in Honolulu today. Highly recommended.

    Don’t be fooled by its unassuming location - sandwiched between Barnes & Noble and Macy’s, Amaterasu is a true hidden gem. Sushi Chef Hideo Ohmiya breaks from rigid tradition, delivering a refreshingly inventive omakase that pushes the boundaries of classic sushi. Highlights include Hawaiian-style uni with garlic butter, perfectly tender shrimp, seared sumo katsuo (bonito), and tai delicately finished with umami-rich moshio (Japanese seaweed salt) and a hint of soft lemon. Each bite is a savory revelation. The flavors here don’t just impress—they command your attention. The sushi flavors burst through the palate, leaving no room for anything bland or forgettable. Much of what’s offered is both seasonal and rare, elevating the experience beyond the ordinary. Amaterasu has quickly earned a top spot in my dining rotation. Though new to the scene, Chef Hideo is not to be underestimated—he delivers a masterclass in bold, flavor-driven sushi that both honors and reinvents tradition.
