Overview
If you're looking for the "true" Hawaii, there's no better place to find it than in Hana. Join us for a patina, a celebration of organic cultural authenticity and you'll understand why. We share with you stories of our cultural upbringing and our efforts to continue generational knowledge to our children. You'll savor seasonal flavors of Hana, and traditional dishes, and witness the husking, cracking, grading, and milking of the coconut. Take it from a native, you haven't experienced Hawaii yet, but now you can.

As you dine, we explain traditional methods used to prepare your meal.
Childhood recipes from papa's pantry, where love is the first ingredient, second is coconut milk.
