Alan Wongs at The Veranda at Kahala Hotel Resort

Available from September 8-12

FEASTival EXCLUSIVE: Alan Wongs is bringing back two of their award-winning drinks featuring Awamori, the heritage drink of Okinawa, for FEASTival! Alan Wongs was the first restaurant to feature Awamori on their regular menu, so it's really special that Awamori Sunrise and Ghost of Okinawa are making a return! Awamori Sunrise is a twist on a local favorite "POG" with lilikoi, orange, and guava. It's a refreshing blended concoction with Awamori, perfect for those who don't like a strong alcohol flavor. Ghost of Okinawa is a clear, "Blanc de Blancs" spin on the classic Manhattan using aged Awamori, aromatized wine and elderflower liqueur. This drink showcases the complexity of aged Awamori.

FEASTival Special: Junko Bise and her crew will be popping up in the covered parking lot of Marukai Dillingham serving her famous Boro Boro Jushime (soft rice porridge), regular Andagi, and Aloha Dogs (the Okinawan version of the Corn Dog) for FEASTival.

Junko’s Hawaii Okinawa style jushime uses katsuobushi for the dashi and features pork, miso, mustard cabbage (cos hard to procure Okinawan sweet potato leaf), edamame, sato imo, tofu, shiitake, and maitake mushrooms. Each family recipe is different but I love Junko-san’s Hawaii Okinawan style jushime!
