Penny/Pudge, Rokkaku

Morning "play" time.
Penny wants to be friends with Pudgie around his crab bag.

Birds are so territorial and Pudgie is all bird.
Luckily Penny is a gentle girl.

Our monthly lunch with Grandma,  Pat and May.
Usually it's at Michinoku but the owners are in Japan so we decided on Rokkaku at the Ala Moana SC.

The textile on the chairs has the sheen of soft velvety silk, but is vinyl.

May had a fresh Aji sashimi set.

R, the tonkatsu lover, had their pork tonkatsu.  The cheese in the center gives extra delicious calories.  The cabbage was finely cut.
In some Tonkatsu restaurants in Japan they keep bringing exta servings of  the airy cabbage which is so good and healthy with the fried tonkatsu.

Pat, the Hamachi Kama fan.

Grandma and I had the salmon which was really delicious-moist and tender and not too salty.

We've been coming here since they opened and only recently noticed the "Hamakatsu" added on to Rokkaku.
Hamakatsu is a 50 year old restaurant specializing in tonkatsu.
