Dine In Events

Two-time James Beard nominee Brian Hirata of Na`au will create a dinner highlighting coveted locally sourced ingredients from mauka to makai. This event will be an intimate experience with Chef Brian describing each course and offering dialogue with guest in a friendly casual environment.

Brian Hirata is a former educator who left the security of a tenured position to focus on Na‘au, and dedicate his life to preserving Hawai‘i's food culture while progressing the local cuisine through thoughtful presentations. Na‘au has gained worldwide recognition for its mission since launching in 2019, earning Chef Brian a semifinalist nod for the James Beard Foundation Awards in 2022 for Emerging Chef, as well as a semifinalist nod in 2023 for Best Chef, Northwest and Pacific.
