Worth Lingering For

The table at Nobu Lānaʻi.

Some meals are just dinner. And then there are the ones you find yourself describing months later — the light, the setting, the way the food tasted like it belonged exactly where you were. Nobu Lānaʻi is that kind of place. Perched above Hulopoe Bay, with the Pacific stretching out in every direction, it’s one of the most beautiful dining rooms in Hawaiʻi. The food is extraordinary. The setting is unforgettable.

Hawaiʻi & Beyond

Taiwan and Japan.

My love of travel extends beyond the islands. Taiwan — where I have deep personal connections — and Japan, with its extraordinary food culture and refined sense of hospitality, are destinations I plan with the same care and firsthand knowledge I bring to Hawaiʻi.

Taiwan and Japan itineraries are available on request.
