Hakone, Yanagi, Sasabune are what come off the top of my head.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm a hardcore traditionalist. These recommendations are based off quality of nigiri, not jiveass rolls.

^^ All those are really good, but honestly, coming from the mainland you could go to Genki and it would be the best sushi you had ever had...

Sushimon all you can eat in vegas.

Hawaii? I just go to whatever is close, I'm not too picky. If you want the belt style (like genki) go to Kuru Kuru, not real fancy, but better than genki.

Cool

Anyone tried Furusato on kalakaua?

I thought it was ok, but not one of those "exclusive" places.

You mean Furusato in Waiks? Nothing special.

+1 for kunio at waikele. I go to Oahu a couple times a year to visit family and it seems like we always go to kunio at least three times in a week. The prices are good and the sushi and everything else is really tasty. The only bad thing is they don't take reservations so there's almost always a wait to be seated.

Just went to Yohei last week... rather expensive, kinda on the same level as Sasabune, but good stuff. I'd like to try Mitch's next.

Since I can't afford to eat like ^ very often... it's usually kuru kuru for me & once in awhile Kabuki.
