Description
Indoor and outdoor drinks and food on the way to/from the ferry.
This eatery offers a modern Japanese–inspired menu with Hawaiian touches, focusing on fresh, boldly flavored seafood, handcrafted sauces, and house-made drinks.
Guests will find a wide range of options, starting with signature poke bowls built around ahi tuna, salmon, scallops, or octopus, each layered with seaweed salad, imitation crab salad, tobiko, pickled vegetables, crispy toppings, and light soy or ponzu sauces. Health-conscious diners can opt for gluten-free poke bowls featuring fresh greens and the same vibrant toppings. The restaurant also sells poke by the pound, perfect for take-home meals or catering.
From the hot menu, comforting favorites include Hi-Life Ramen in varieties like creamy DanDan, spicy pork, and Tokyo curry ramen — each crafted with rich pork broth, sesame, and fried toppings for texture and warmth. Daily specials such as Grilled Unagi-don (sweet-glazed eel over rice) or Kasuzuke Black Cod marinated for days showcase the kitchen’s premium selections.
The Premium Bento Boxes combine these flavors beautifully into complete meals, while the "Sho-Ka-Do" Poke Box offers a sampler of eight different poke varieties — ideal for sharing. There are also lighter bites like edamame, sashimi (both classic and seared “aburi” style), tofu salad, and seaweed salad.
To drink, expect house-crafted sodas and syrups built from ingredients like ginger, yuzu, and matcha. Non-alcoholic favorites include matcha or hojicha lattes made with Sugimoto Tea, or freshly made yuzu soda. Alcohol options lean Japanese: craft beers from Echigo, Orion lagers, and whiskey highballs infused with yuzu or ginger.
The Grab & Go section features nostalgic Japanese snacks such as rice crackers, Pocky, and shrimp chips — alongside bottled sauces and syrups for recreating Hi-Life’s bold flavors at home.
