Today is my 1-year anniversary working @naturewaikiki 🥂 Last year, when I asked @makoto_hasegawa_mild for one shift a week to make some extra cash I had absolutely no intention of going back to the restaurant business full time. But, after a few shifts of learning our food and wine and getting to know the rest of the staff I couldn’t deny the fact, that I was home. Back where I need to be. Working with food, connecting chef @naeogawa with local ingredients, talking shit with people who “get” me and serving people up with a good time. I’m super proud of the food (and drinks!) and service at natuRe. Best of all, like so many restaurant teams I’ve worked with in the past (but not all), our team (as wonderfully dysfunctional as it is) is comprised of some of the most dedicated people I know who always have each other’s backs, know how to keep each other laughing when we are getting f-ed during an overbooked service and always show up with cake and beer on your birthday. To team natuRe (BTW we’re “nat sure” either): We are coming up on our second year in business in 7 weeks. Can you handle another year of “You dropped your leaf!,” “It’s the next door down!” “Austin, you’re going to get fucked tonight!,” as well as continuing to look for the damn pineapple key?! I know I am! LET’S GOOOOOOOO!!! Much love @naeogawa @korian.eats @makoto_hasegawa_mild @daisukegram_hi @jacob_cedeno @jonny_ow @jjferraro @j_e_n_n_m @mercyluvsurguts @foxeatingsocks @tama_network @yoshi.kuno1102 Roze, Austin, Charmaine, Hayden, Kaily, Hirumi san, Ken, Piggy, Carlo, Chloe and anyone else I missed. 😘🖕🤙

A little blast from the past for this way back Wednesday. Our intro short beautifully made by @_roblau . Its crazy to think that it has almost been a year since then. A nice reminder to ourselves on staying the course and making sure we remember our beginnings as we move into the future. Aloha friends 🤙🏽

Team zetton,Inc, next leaders Field Trip. We are learning a lot and growing together here in Hawaii for the bright future! Team zetton,inc. メンバー達のハワイ島 研修視察。 食材の宝庫 ハワイ島で、現地で実る農作物の成り立ちと美しい自然環境を実際に目にし、体感し、team zettonの未来成長へ繋げます。 We grow together!! Repost from @takanori_kitagawa • • Big Island Field Trip It was a great opportunity to feel and learn a lot from the greatness of nature on the Big Island of Hawaii, the crops grown there, and the warmth of the people who live there. I respect the people who are coexisting with this nature and creating crops and dishes at their farms and restaurants. This field trip made me realize once again what a wonderful place Hawaii is. We’re Lucky We Live Hawaii ハワイ島の自然の偉大さ、そこで育てられる農作物、そこに住む人の温かさに触れて多く感じ、学びました。この自然と共存しながら、ファームやレストランで食という形でモノづくりをしている方々を尊敬します。ハワイが本当に素晴らしい所なんだと再認識できました。 素晴らしい機会をありがとうございます #hawaii #bigisland #aloha #zettoninc

tucked away in waikiki is this absolute gem 💎 of a restaurant that is a euphoric experience to say the least @naturewaikiki is all about creating unique dining experiences through locally & 🌱 sustainably sourced ingredients with french & local techniques ✨ 💫 we tried the $95 6-course tasting menu, paired with a 🥂 $25 non-alcoholic drink pairing and finishing off the night with two incredible desserts. each course is beautifully prepared and has so many different components, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes every dish so perfect. the courses rotate based on seasonality but here’s what we had during our visit: 💜 Taro Poi x Sunchoke 🐠Tomato Consommé Gazpacho x Kajiki topped with Royal Ostera Caviar 🦐 Molokaʻi Shrimp wrapped with Pono Pork 🌽 Macadamia Nut Tofu x Ewa Corn Puree 🥬 Sumida Farm Watercress Risotto x Tako 🥩 Big Island Beef x Kahumana Root 🍊 Tarte au Citron 🍠 Local Okinawan Sweet Potato Mont Blanc 🌟 i highly recommend getting a seat at the Chef’s Counter to get the full experience! find them right above @zigu.hi in waikiki! and park at the Hyatt Centric for 4 hrs validation 🚗 #hawaiireels #hawaiisbestkitchens #waikikieats #frenchcuisine #frolichawaii #yelphawaii #naturewaikiki #hawaiifoodfinds #hawaiifoodie

I try hard not to overuse superlatives when I’m eating because I put so many incredible food items in my mouth (especially while traveling), I would constantly be saying “this is the best this, this is the best that,” until the words lost all meaning. Still, I can confidently say this shrimp was the best bite of my Hawaii trip. Jeffrey and I visited natuRe on our last Oahu adventure, by chance during the first week it opened. The food, which is billed as “sustainable Island French,” has only gotten more exciting, as evidenced by this white gulf shrimp raised in local mud pools for ecological research and offered only at natuRe. The sizable crustacean was wrapped in prosciutto (!), fried in a filo-dough-like kadaif crust, and laid in a little lake of lemon sabayon. I immediately described the addictively salty/crunchy/saucy sea creature as “shrimp cordon bleu,” reminiscent of that caloric-free-for-all I loved in the 80s-90s and rarely/never see on menus today. And when the most welcoming waitstaff (another superlative, sorry) told me I could eat the shrimp head, I was like, you couldn’t have stopped me from doing so, and that crispy noggin did not disappoint in its additional layer of umami. Because the dish was intent on winning me over on every level, it was garnished with a locally grown, edible cucumber flower, complete with actual mini (unpickled) gherkin, and dreamed up by an uber-talented female chef (@naeogawa). The rest of the chef’s counter meal was filled with additional highlights, including an oyster with Hawaiian sea salt gelee, smoked venison carpaccio resting on a generous schmear of goat cheese and topped with shaved beets, tako and black garlic risotto, and beef with sautéed mushrooms/mushroom puree, an au poivre glaze, and an optional mountain of shaved white truffle. Jeffrey also swears the bartender makes the perfect (superlative count: 3) mai tai—and he is currently a walking mai tai, so I trust him on this. Finally, natuRe’s purveyors are all listed in detail on the website because this restaurant gives a mighty fuck about supporting and crediting local businesses. 20/10. I will see this meal again in my Island French dreams. 🦐❤️

The more you can connect your personal life and values to your work, the richer your life will be. So stoked to take #teamzetton to Kōkua Learning farm yesterday for a volunteer workday. Mahalo Kelly, @flyingflip @kokuahawaiifoundation and #diamondislandfarm for hosting and including a talk story sesh and a bounty of vegetables to take home at the end. Beautiful day!

📷 Check out our incredible team at the Hawaii Food Bank: Hawaii chefs fight hunger charity event! Our very own Executive Chef Nae from Nature Waikiki, Corporate Chef Keigo and Assistant General Manager Jason did an amazing job for their first appearance at this wonderful event. They truly put their heart and soul into this and we couldn't be more proud of them. We also want to extend a big thank you to all the chefs who put in countless hours of effort to create an unforgettable night for everyone who attended. Your dedication and passion for the culinary arts truly shone through in every dish. Of course, we couldn't have done it without the help of all the participants and donors who made this event possible. Mahalo for your support in fighting hunger here in Hawaii. In the coming months, stay tuned to see what efforts we are putting in community service for the food and beverage industry to help our local community members. Here at Zeton, we make it a priority and a mission to give back to the community. We take this responsibility very seriously and are committed to making a difference in the lives of those around us. #SustainableCuisine #zetton #naeogawa #naturewaikiki #restaurants #waikiki #hawaiibestkitchens
