ZIGU was proud to be a food provider at The Joy of Sake 2023 event held recently. We served "Local Mix Fish Poke," which pairs well with sake at this event, and received many favorable comments from those who attended.
Although The Joy of Sake event has ended, we continue to offer sake specials every Wednesday at ZIGU in Waikiki. Additionally, we are committed to sourcing fresh ingredients daily to ensure that we provide you with the best possible menu.
