Fresh Sashimi Platter
PLAT HOME Kanazawa Kitchen Japan (Fresh Fish Sashimi Platter).
Fresh Sashimi Platter for two- 2400Y. But you can order it for one or for three.
Today, I wanted to share a great visit to PLAT HOME.

To me its like an izakaya with a modern twist.

Not really someplace you'll go to if you've starved for days
because it's all about sharing the small bites (similar to tapas),
​drinking, and enjoying company of those around you.

On the main itinerary for this day was:

100 Sails Prince Hotel Waikiki Oahu (Buffet Dinner Review).  Restaurant Decor layout.

​We saw a commercial on TV regarding the newly renovated buffet and bar at the Hawaii Prince Hotel.  It looked really interesting.  Fully remodeled, fresh vibes.  But could the food be better than when it was the Prince Court?

Since I knew we were going to a buffet, I deliberatly did not eat as much that day.

So I was quite starving.

Let's talk about one of my budding interests today, and that my friends is Whisky

Yamazaki Distillery is "the distillery" to go to since it's the oldest (and first one built in Japan). 

After Yamazaki won the title of World Whisky of the Year Award for their Sherry Cask (2013), demand and interest for Japanese Whisky has suddenly surged.
