Contemporary approach to Japanese tradition
Doraku Sushi brings a modern energy to the Japanese izakaya experience, blending time-honored traditions with bold flavors, creative cocktails, and a lively atmosphere. From expertly selected sushi and sashimi to grilled specialties, there’s something for every kind of craving — including vegan and vegetarian favorites.
At the heart of the experience is our love for sake, featuring our signature Aoki Junmai Sake’s and an extensive collection sourced from Japan and beyond. Add in artisanal cocktails, quality ingredients, and a passion for hospitality, and you have the Doraku experience.
Whether it’s lunch, happy hour, dinner, or a late-night bite, come for the food, stay for the experience.
Welcome to Doraku Sushi — the road to happiness.
始めに
A Legacy, Reimagined
My father helped introduce Japanese dining to America, sharing the culture, flavors, and spirit of Japan with a new generation. Inspired by his legacy, I wanted to create something of my own — a restaurant rooted in Japanese tradition, but shaped by a different perspective.
Doraku is our interpretation of that journey: a contemporary expression of Japanese dining, bringing together great food, sake, hospitality, and the energy of gathering around the table.
A Journey That Keeps Unfolding
Every story has a beginning. Ours began in 1999 at Lincoln Road Promenade, where Doraku brought together Japanese tradition, bold flavors, and the energy of an izakaya. After establishing multiple locations in Miami, the journey shifted to Hawaiʻi, where we focused on growing the brand across Oahu.
Our first Hawaiʻi location opened at Royal Hawaiian Center in 2008, followed by Kakaʻako in 2012, Kapolei in 2022, and our newest location at Hilton Hawaiian Village.
At the heart of Doraku is a passion for Japanese craftsmanship, from our two signature Aoki sakes — Junmai Ginjo Nama Zume and our more premium Junmai Daiginjo — to our extensive whiskey collection and exclusive single-barrel collaborations. From the first pour to the last bite, we’re always looking for the next way to surprise, inspire, and bring people together.
