From 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. nightly through next Tuesday, Dec. 31, Makena Beach & Golf Resort’s former Hakone Restaurant is now “Rare” in both name and availability.

For the next six nights you can revisit the speciality sushi creations you may remember – or experience for the first time – as prepared by Chef Ivan and Chef Kamijo.

Try the colorful and award-winning Hurricane Ivan Roll ($23) featuring shrimp tempura, avocado and cucumber and surrounded by hamachi tempura, Thai chili sauce and sprinkled with tempura flake and flying fish roe.

Fish-haters and vegetarians will prefer the “I No Like Fish” Roll ($10) made with avocado, cucumber, lettuce, daikon and kanpyo squash.

The menu also offers sashimi combos, salads and a variety of nigiri options.

Eight sakes, a plum wine and soju are also available.

Seating is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

For reservations or more information call (808) 875-5888.

“Rare” can be found inside the Makena Beach & Golf Resort, located at 5400 Makena Alanui, Makena/Wailea.
