Where Japanese Flavors Meet Island Spirit

Here at ZIGU, we believe the key to running a successful restaurant is to serve fresh local ingredients. We cook in a Japanese style using only ingredients found here in Hawaii. You'll enjoy authentic Japanese cooking and sake either inside our cozy interior or outside our spacious courtyard terrace.

Our Menu

Our menu is not going to be strictly Japanese or any particular style. The only rule when it comes to our menu is that we will use only fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We believe that this is essential in creating an exquisite and flavorful fine dining experience. We will source fresh ingredients every day in order to bring you the best possible menu. 

Our restaurant works closely with local farms in order to deliver not only a food that tastes great, but also one that is healthy and free of any harmful toxins.
