Why Nuka

Rice bran, milled here

In Haiku we mill our own rice, pickle with the bran, and cook what local fishermen and farms bring in.

Ask the sushi bar what’s coming off the boat today.

We mill our own rice

Embryo rice with the taste of white — bran becomes our nukazuke. We fry in rice bran oil only.

Local fish, local farms

Seasonal when we can, simple when we should — Haiku produce and Maui waters on the plate.
