Kona's Coffee Ritsurin Garden — Restaurant in Takamatsu

Let me be clear. I have been a customer for several years as an American citizen and resident of Kagawa Japan. I have brought foreign guests to this restaurant because they were a flagship of good quality in food and service. Last week I was in the Takamatsu location and asked the waitress before ordering if the Corporate owners donated corporate funds to Maui Relief. I was advised by the staff that they collected money for relief from their customers only. My wife and I left and cancelled our order. An email was sent to the President of the company. He did not respond. I await a response and hope the ownership does more than exploit American culture and Hawaiian cuisine in particular for profits sake here in Japan. I hope I am wrong and Kona Cafe addresses the need for relief in a real, enduring manner. The world and Maui need real actions not words. Show a " Good Heart" to the people of Hawaii and put your money where your mouth is. Joshua Hoffman , JoshuasTrees, Facebook...

They even speak a tiny bit of English! Can't...

The acai bowl was just as delicious as those I've had in Hawaii. The mochi chicken was ok, I didn't enjoy it as much as the acai bowl but still good! The atmosphere is very cute as well. It can be a little confusing in the beginning since I wasn't sure who the hostess was, the cashier or the wait staff, so it took me a few minutes to get seated. Definitely recommend for the acai bowl alone. One of the few places I've seen in Japan in this area that...
