Did this: Eat the Street Japan
Flavors of Japan hit Kakaako Friday night, with 42 food trucks and street food vendors outdoing themselves to provide Nihon-themed eats. Yakisoba hot dogs, sakura dango mochi pops, sushi, yakitori, okonomiyaki — hai! All on our favorite mega-block on South Street between Halekauwila and Pohaukaina, no umbrellas needed.
And if you missed it, not to worry. Honolulu’s mega-street food rally happens again April 26, as it does on the last Friday night of every month, with maybe the ultimate crowd-pleasing theme:

When: Friday, April 26, from 4-9 p.m.
Where: 555 South St. in Kaka’ako (at Halekauwila, kitty-corner from Restaurant Row)
Admission: Free

Kakaako turns into Nihon-town for Eat the Street’s third Japan-themed event. It all started back in 2011, weeks after Japan’s northeast suffered the triple-punch of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear fallout. That first ETS Japan benefited relief efforts and gave rise to a popular annual theme.
