Lucas, You said you wished you did something useful. I think you can guide people to the foods and chefs that respect the land and our natural resources. That can definitely be a challenge but encouraging a culture of agricultural and culinary stewardship is, and will continue to be, an absolutely essential part of preserving our planet for the future. As a local example: the non-profit Surfrider Foundation certifies restaurants on Oahu that they deem ocean friendly. No affiliation with them, just really respect the work that they do for our community. Dining On a Dime isn't exactly a perfect match in terms of mission or purpose, but you guys have the skills, charisma, and platform. Thanks for keeping local businesses alive! And for the onigiri! Beers on me next time. Aloha, Dylan

mad respect for your research - I grew up eating spam, and we always had this and a lot of other canned goods in our cupboards because we always felt the need to be ready for emergencies (war, hurricane, tsunami, etc. at pretty much any meal in Hawai'i, you might have three, four or more ethnic backgrounds represented - filipino, hawaiian, japanese, chinese, and portuguese were the first immigrants, now there's korean, vietnamese, thai and others influencing the food culture here.

The Shirokiya village has a nice atmosphere and they put on shows which are pretty cool but its in Ala Moana which is touristy as hell meaning the food is overpriced, although not horribly (expect to spend about 15 minimum per person. The best value at Shirokiya by far is the beer garden, so Im surprised he didnt mention it. Talking about 1 beers, and its a decent sized plastic cups worth too.

My local tradition which i grown up with, is that, when you are eating noodle, you should not, in any case, bite the noodle and snap the string of those noodles. You were supposed to slurp it until the end of those noodle strings. Something about local beliefs of 'cutting your own luck'. So it is a bit painful for me to watch this when Lucas was eating the okonomiyaki xD

It's tough to appreciate the musubi in such a setting. It's travel food. You eat it on the road when you're hungry and there's no restaurant nearby. It's been like that in Japan for hundreds of years. The best place to eat a Spam musubi is in a car when you're hungry and have to be somewhere and don't have time to stop to eat. Kids love eating Spam musubi in a car.

Lol Lucas trying to describe food like Nick Solares is so unnatural. It's alright, you don't need to tell us about the vaguely sulfuric essence of the egg. We all like you better than the other hosts anyhow. : )Just say it's tasty af and give us a moneyshot of the food, it's all good

Great episode, Lucas! I've been waiting to see you beat that drum since the preview before the season began. Love your facial expression while you are doing it! BTW, the food selection was amazing in this episode. Everything looks so tasty! And your cursing. made me guffaw. :)

Hi! Dylan. Thank you for introducing shirokiya japan village walk. about okonomiyaki, there is no Tokugawa style. the okonomiyaki you were eating was Hiroshima style. and the other is Osaka style. Osaka is well-known of okonomi and takoyaki.

lucas is such a brilliant presenter, but what really makes him one of the best on the internet is the research he obviously does. totally respects the culture and is so excited to put himself into a new situation. keep it up, eater!

Shirokiya is so disappointing, iyasume is better at the location across the street, the one inside the mall is not so great, a lot of choices but nothing is very good, way overpriced unless you like dollar bud lights
