As always, the pages of HAWAIʻI Magazine are filled with stories from across the Islands. In this issue, we take a step back in time to a beloved Kauaʻi restaurant that’s been a pillar of its community for more than a century; we travel to Hawaiʻi Island to meet a tōji (sake master) reviving the art of sake brewing in the Islands; and we celebrate the resurgence of palaka in local fashion.
Gracing our cover is a stunning shot by talented Maui photographer Travis Morrin. The image of the Milky Way was captured on a secluded beach in Mākena on Maui during a new moon. Maui is a dreamy place to stargaze, especially in the summer months from June to September, when typically clear skies offer incredible views of the stars.
