Japengo
Japengo is an award-winning restaurant that offers Asian cuisine infused with island flavors. It provides a beautiful backdrop as it is located along the Ka‘anapali beachfront with views of the Pacific. The extensive menu features fresh seafood, steak, and hand-crafted sushi made with locally sourced ingredients. The chef duo is a unique partnership between Chef de Cuisine Gevin Utrillo and Sushi Chef Masamichi “Masa” Hattori. Together, they bring an innovative approach to Pacific Rim cuisine and the art of sushi, fusing traditional flavors with the mixing pot of island heritage recipes.
