• Japanese • Kohala Coast
Booked 1 time today
We are a sake-focused dining experience featuring a seasonal tasting menu designed to pair with sake brewed on site. “Engawa” is a traditional Japanese word for the wooden outside porch of a home, a place where neighbors gather and relax together. Our dining room reflects that spirit—casual, welcoming, and centered around sharing sake. Our menu is designed so each dish complements the flavors of the sake produced in our brewery. Because the experience centers on sake, courses are intentionally paced so guests can enjoy both food and sake together. Dinner typically takes about 90 minutes. One welcome sake sample is included, and optional guided sake pairings are available. We are unable to accommodate vegan diets or extensive dietary restrictions. If bringing children, please let us know in advance. OpenTable Experience reservations show an estimated price and are not prepaid. Payment is completed after dinner using our Square terminal.

    We ate here twice during our stay at the Mauna Kea resort. Both times were incredible experiences. There were different managers working each night, and each made sure to make our nights remarkable. They went out of their way to insure our every need was met, and then some! The personal attention they showed us truly made us feel so welcome and special, they truly went above and beyond what was expected, making them the most memorable dining experiences!

    Wow! Just wow! The food was amazing. Our server John was very kind to our table and I. The music was delightful. But best of all, the food was the best. The butter fish was amazing! But that can not even compare to the sushi rolls, every one was amazing but I really recommend the dragon roll. Every drink was great as well. I would definitely go to this restraunt when you are in Hawaii (big island). Thanks again copper bar!
