ENGAWA

OUR DINING HAPUNA GOLF COURSE

The Kohala Coast is home to one of the most beautiful natural areas on the Big Island. A glass of sake can be enjoyed at dusk as the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean, turning the vast lawn red. The Mauna Kea Resort, which has a sake brewery, was established as a guest house for Rockefeller, and its golf course was designed by Arnold Palmer. Despite the location of the island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the golf course clubhouse is the best place to stay. Traditional sake brewing is carried out in this 8,500 square-foot space.

 

For visitors who want to learn about the supreme taste of sake and its art, we have established a restaurant called Engawa. The Engawa offers Islander Sake as a meal option. In Japanese culture, Engawa is considered the most comfortable space in the house, with the purpose of separating it from the outside world. Visitors are welcome to chat casually with house guests on the Engawa, or to unwind with a cup of tea or a snack. Taking a sip of our sake will help you relax and forget about your daily work. It is similar to landing at Hawaii’s airport, exiting the plane, and unwinding in the tropical air.

 

Spectacular ‘Omotenashi’ Dinner
5:30 PM & 7:30 PM.
Prix fixe menu because this place is run by a small sake brewery. The philosophies of Hawaiian aloha and Japanese sensibilities are the foundations of our hospitality, ‘Omotenashi’. $75, plus tax, and includes one glass of “Daiginjo”. After receiving your initial glass of sake, you can try different flavors of sake by paying an additional fee.

 

Monthly updates are made to the menu.
*If you have any allergies, please inform us at least 24 hours beforehand via text.

DIRECTIONS

TESTIMONIALS | ENGAWA

  • Never thought I'd come across a sake brewery at a golf course clubhouse, only in Hawaii! Beautiful sakes and the tastings are a great value. You can also buy bottles to go. Highly recommended for sake lovers.

    -

  • This was a huge Big Island highlight for me. Can't say enough good things about Islander Sake Brewery!

    -

  • The sake itself is top notch and the staff including the head brewer Chiaki are extremely welcoming and more than willing to chat and educate you on any aspect of sake if you're interested in that.

    -

  • If you're a sake fan I HIGHLY recommend you visit Islander Sake Brewery. They're just getting set up in their new location in the Mauna Kea Hapuna Golf Course clubhouse, which is a beautiful setting to enjoy a sake flight or two.
