Kauaian Japanese
‘Āina Kaua‘i offers creative and delicious Japanese cuisine that highlights the flavors and bounty of Kaua’i.
On Wednesday and Thursday, we offer a Sakana Dinner Set that features locally caught fish in a decadent mango sauce.
On Friday and Saturday, we offer a Robata Dinner Set celebrates the art of cooking with binchō-tan charcoal.
Dinners are an intimate experience for up to 8 guests and require reservations.
Our menus are curated with the freshest ingredients from local farms.
We combine our reverence for Kaua‘i and admiration for Nihon-ryōri to create meals that reflect the essence of Kaua‘i through Japanese style.
Our commitment to locally produced ingredients begins on Ai Farm in the moist and cool hills of Kapahi where we grow herbs and vegetables used in the kitchen. We are grateful to partner with passionate farmers on Kaua‘i to offer the freshest ingredients. Our dishes highlight produce grown on Kaua‘i and our seafood is sourced from Hawaiian waters.
