From the opening of American Cafe in 1923 to today, there has been over 350 Okinawan owned restaurants in Hawaii. Most of the original restaurants have closed but there is a new generation operating today. In the spirit of Yuimaaru (communities supporting one another, especially in times of need), we are asking the community to help support these local Okinawan owned restaurants. This year, FEASTival will follow Okinawan Festival (09/05-09/19)! Okinawan Festival will be in-person this year at the Hawaii Convention Center on September 3rd & 4th.
