The Search for Signs of Hawaiian Life: Osaka, Japan

OUT OF LUCK IN OSAKA | If only the Ka‘apuni Cafe had been open last month on the day Vincent and Maribel Fra­go­mene of Maka­kilo discovered the little patch of home on the frigid streets of Osaka, Japan. They would have welcomed the warmth, said Mari­bel. “We would have gone in for drinks and pupus because it was very cold outside,” she said. A passer-by took their photo before they headed off to the airport for the flight home.
