Engawa is Hawai‘i’s only sake brewery and a cozy restaurant on the Big Island. We serve a prix fixe tasting menu to just 20 guests a night. Each course is paired with our hand-crafted sake, brewed in-house by Dr. Chiaki Takahashi. One of our sakes won a Silver Medal at the 2024 Milano Sake Challenge in Italy. We’re proud to be a finalist in the 2025 Hale ‘Aina Awards, recognized among Hawai‘i’s top restaurants. Engawa is located inside a four-star resort, a short walk from a white sand beach that’s been named America’s #1 beach twice. On clear evenings, enjoy beautiful sunset views before or after dinner. Whether you’re a sake lover or trying it for the first time, we’ll guide you through each pairing with care and a smile. Our menu features dishes inspired by fermentation techniques rooted in sake brewing, offering a clean, nourishing experience—perfect for guests looking to refresh after a long journey. Join us for an intimate evening of great food, sake, and heartfelt hospitality.
