I had no idea Fujiya Hawaii is still open for business. I was gifted these Pure Peanut Butter Mochi…read morefrom one of my students during Teachers appreciation week. It was sooo delicious! Soft, fresh mochi filled with crunchy peanut butter. Yum! I remember when they were on Waikamilo Road in Kalihi. If you didn't know, like me. They've relocated to the McCully area. Where mochi is continued to be made fresh and a window to see the making of it. The bright and colorful painted wall caught my attention. Great for taking selfies or pictures your purchases. There's three benches outside decorated with stickers that's available for purchase. Too cute! Fujiya Hawaii offers much more than delicious mochi. Such as iced cold drinks, locally made snacks, mochi leis, T-Shirts and the cutest stickers, to name a few things available for purchase. I asked a few questions and the pleasant lady that answered my questions was very helpful and offered me samples of the different flavors of Senbei & Japanese Okoshi- crispy puffed brown rice with macadamia nuts. That was really yummy! I had to add a bag to my order. By Supporting a locally and family owned business, that's been in business since in 1953.

There was one employee working at the register and another in the back. The service was attentive and efficient although there was only one person on the floor. They carry a great assortment of mochi and manju, including some varieties that need to be refrigerated. In addition, they offer local favorites like li-hing gummy bears and assorted flavored sembei, giving you plenty of sweet and savory options to choose from. The employee at the register was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happily sharing information about the different mochi flavors and offerings. Most importantly, the mochi here is absolutely delicious. During this visit, we ordered a Girls' Day pack and tried the chocolate ganache Oreo flavor which was amazing. The mochi was perfectly soft and paired beautifully with the rich chocolate ganache filling. My friend loved it so much that she went back the very next day to order more! If you love mochi, you really need to stop by. I highly recommended this shop.

I'm so glad I found All Hawaiian Honey on Yelp! I contacted the owner, Linda, and she responded…read moreimmediately. We communicated via text and I placed an order for several items (see the photos). Being that I'm in Kaneohe, we met at Burger King (super convenient). She allowed me to test taste 4 of the honeys, which was very helpful to compare the uniqueness of each. The prices are very reasonable being it's all local honey! The 3 pack of 2 oz. bottles are $9 each pack, 1 pack is $10. Very nicely packaged and makes wonderful gifts! You get the Macadamia, Christmas Berry and Ōhi'a Lehua honeys! I definitely support AHH! Mahalo, Linda!

I currently have 8 different honey jars open in my pantry because I use them every day for various things, but my all time favorite is the All Hawaiian Honey. If they could market the Macadamia Honey into coffee shops it would sell so well. It has a full, rich flavor with no bite or tang and therefore it can go into any drink, tea, or coffee, because it doesn't compete with the flavor notes. It's just delicious!

YOW! It's happened again... my review for this food stall has disappeared even though I've been…read morebuying their preserves in-person and locally at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market for the past year and have never been to their actual farm which is located on another island. I was originally introduced to the luscious International Taste Award and International Flavor Award-winning tropical jams, butters, and honeys at a local food festival. However, since then, I have routinely purchased the unique tropical-flavored preserves at their food stall at this Farmers Market although they do have the option for online purchasing (http://www.akakafallsfarm.com) and ships Worldwide. There are usually two gregarious representatives from this farm who will offer you free taste samples of whichever product you see in their vast display. They'll even recommend how to use some of their preserves to complement chicken, pork, beef, seafood, or vegetables or use their butters in desserts or as dessert toppings. I like to chit chat with them and exchange recipes with them. Their jams and butters are sourced from fruits grown on their farm, and they use organic cane sugar or naturally evaporated cane sugar as their sweeteners. I believe that their honeys are harvested from local apiaries where the bees collect nectar from local blossoms like macadamia, kiawe, and lehua. They have over 25 different jams or marmalades, 14 kinds of butters, and 7 kinds of honey. Of the 25+ jams, they even offer hot and spicy tropical flavors that work very well with seafood, chicken, venison, beef, pork, or lamb. When you purchase from this stall, a jar of jam or marmalade or fruit butter will cost you about $12/11 oz jar. However, if you purchase 3 or 6 jars, you'll receive further discounts. Bear in mind that some kinds of butter will cost more like $14/jar, because of the higher cost of the ingredients such as their Kona Coffee Hawaiian Chocolate butter or Coconut Dark Chocolate butter so it's good to ask before you buy. We've brought several friends and visitors here to get some of these preserves because we not only praise the high quality and flavors but their jar labels are so darn pretty! Slowly, we're working our way through their preserves and different kinds of honey but will admit that we have our favorites that we've returned to buy more of. Give them a try and you'll taste Hawai'i's Aloha.

Locally made chocolate!…read more I've seen Manoa Chocolate bars sold in various local grocery stores and shops over the years. My husband and I never had them until we booked a reservation for Manoa Chocolate's factory tour at this location during our local honeymoon six years ago, days before the pandemic started, when the factory tour used to be held here. My husband and I sampled a few chocolate pieces while our tour guide showed us Manoa Chocolate's cacao harvesting and chocolate-making process. We learned that those mainstream confectioners use fillers in their chocolate bars and lists sugar as their first ingredient! Since then, my husband and I have had Manoa Chocolate's monthly subscriptions at least on two different occasions, including today! A monthly subscription costs $25 for 3 bars--1 limited edition bar and 2 bars from their permanent menu; a better deal than buying individual bars! The subscription has better value the longer the subscription is. I love the variety of milk and dark chocolate bars. We've also ordered a bag of cacao brew and have mixed it with freshly ground coffee for a hot brew. If you love getting ice cream from Sage Creamery, their chocolate ice creams are made with Manoa Chocolate!
