Where In Hawaii is Edward Sugimoto? - December 2, 2009

December 2nd, 2009
By World Wide Ed

I'm pretty excited today. Not so much for anything other than the promise of this post's potential comment count.

You see, if history is any indication, the Japanese food shots tend to get a lot of action comin' in from da regulars and lurkers alike. On top of that, this Hawaii restaurant is not exactly a "mainstream" one. Combine that with the fact that the dish looks like it could be from anywhere, and we've got the perfect storm. Record-breaking comment count hurrr we come! Muhahaha!

OK, I know somebody will probably get it early and burst my bubble, but a fella can dream right? In the meantime, please help me congratulate da 4 winnahz from last week (kuya.d and snow with 2 points a piece, and Coconut Willy and rayboyjr with 1.5 points a piece). I kinda like this multi-point per week scoring action. Congrats! ;)

This week, we're back on Oahu, but I think (and hope!) it'll be quite the challenge. Put on your thinkin' caps and guess away y'all!

    Heya gang. Sorry was kinda in and out only fast kine for this one. Kinda crazy here at work da last few days. But anyway, if you didn't already read, pink lady got um right on #81 with Miyako Restaurant. For those, who nevah heard about um, here's a link: http://www.kaimana.com/miyako_2.htm . It's in the New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel, the same one with Hau Tree Lanai. It's pretty cool on Friday nights when they have the fireworks cause the view overlooks the ocean.

    Majahloz for all of your participation on this one! Triple Digits is a rarity on this blog, so it's nice to see every once in a while. :) BTW, that's without Rosey's help too! Rosey wea you stay? We coulda made 2 hunny! ;)

    Anyway, hurr's today's blog. Have a great Friday y'all!
