Kauaian Japanese
‘Āina Kaua‘i offers creative and delicious Japanese cuisine that highlights the flavors and bounty of Kaua’i.
Our lunch bento can be enjoyed in our dining room, at the beach, or on your flight. Our intimate dinners feature fish, vegetables, and meat thoughtfully seasoned and grilled over binchōtan charcoal. Re-opening soon.
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.
