I see from this posting above that Minamoto Kitchoen has a Honolulu location, but when I go to their website, Honolulu is not listed. Does anyone know where this store is? Or where I can find Hakuunno Hotori in Hawaii? I have recently tried this dessert for the first time and was immediately hooked.

The fish shaped waffle filled with red bean paste? it's really delicious, I couldn't get enough of it. It's one of my favorite Japanese snacks...give it a try and post what you thought about it.

They were 5/$3.50! I thought they were delicious, but I was expecting something more ethereal. Maybe I didn't think they were that special because I've grown up eating sweetened bean desserts. It's strange when I see "common" Chinese food being elevated to haute cuisine. For example, soup dumplings, seitan, soy products and mochi (the first wagashi that you made) were my childhood mainstays. But now I see them being analyzed by the NY Times, Gourmet, etc. and don't understand the fuss. Hi Kelli, I finally had this dessert this week at Cafe Zaiya (41 St/Mad.).

I was reading this post with a little bit of jealousy, thinking how lucky you are to live in New York City! :) But that jealousy only lasted until the end of the post. I didn't realize the Japanese store I often visit here contains the Honolulu outpost of Minamoto Kitchoan. Thanks for the post, you've convinced me to go. I'll check them out as soon as I can! :) Hi, Kelli!
