Following Shingen Hawaii’s success- ful relocation from Waikiki to Moiliili amid the unpredictable COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant team continues to serve up an intriguing variety of delicious Japanese cuisine.
Shingen Hawaii features popular Japanese dishes, including soba noodles crafted from buckwheat flour imported from Japan. Ac- cording to Shingen Hawaii president Shohi- chi Nakatani, soba has long been popular in Japan as a healthy food and has been eaten on various occasions as a lucky charm.
The restaurant at 2334 S. King St. also draws rave reviews for its udon, curry and tempu- ra selections, as well as specialty dishes. A new winter menu is available, and guests can enjoy special seasonal options like Oyster
Nanban ($18.80), a warm soba noodle dish featuring rich seafood, and Chikara ($15.80), a rice cake eaten in Japan as a good luck charm. Curry Nanban ($15.80), meanwhile, is perfect during a cool winter evening.
“Curry is one of everyone’s favorite foods, isn’t it?” Nakatani muses. “Curry is one of the most popular foods in the world, and even in Hawaii it can get chilly in the winter. Please enjoy the harmony from the sweetness of the onions and the savory soup stock.”
The restaurant will be open for extended hours on New Year’s Eve, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., with last call at 10 p.m. Shingen Hawaii continues to offer takeout and free delivery service for customers from downtown to Ha- waii Kai (delivery may not be available on New Year’s Eve), so guests can enjoy items like Toshikoshi soba noodles, which repre- sent long life.
