Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea announced its newest culinary addition, KOMO. The intimate 50-seat restaurant, including its 14-seat interactive sushi bar, transforms a portion of the Resort’s lobby into a dining space featuring Japanese cuisine.

Under the direction of Tokyo-born Chef Kiyokuni “Kiyo” Ikeda, whose 25-year culinary journey spans from the mountains of Nagano to Morimoto’s kitchen, KOMO’s sushi-centric menu celebrates both time-honored techniques and contemporary vision.

“Each piece of nigiri showcases masterful precision—from fish maintained under precise conditions to enhance its natural umami to custom soy sauce blended with three distinct varieties and house-made dashi to fresh wasabi hand-grated tableside, all exemplifying the attention to detail found throughout the menu,” according to the announcement.

Inspired by the electric energy of Japan’s legendary fish markets, the signature Mystery Box adds an element of discovery to the dining experience. Weekly deliveries from Japan’s renowned Kanagawa Prefecture’s Misaki Megumi Suisan market introduce rare and pristine seafood varieties to diners—allowing for “spontaneous creativity at the counter and resulting in the ultimate omakase experience.”

The curated beverage program features exclusive sake varietals such as the Sohomare Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo “Tuxedo” alongside premium Japanese beers and inspired specialty cocktails.

The culinary journey extends to an artfully crafted dessert program, where the Resort’s Executive Pastry Chef Ashish Thalakkat’s signature Hōseki-Bako “Jewel Box” presents delicate creations including Matcha Raspberry Roulade, Hibiki Chocolate Torte, Strawberry Sake Cheesecake, and Yuzu Cremeux Tart. Playful interpretations of beloved Japanese street foods including Taiyaki and Mochi Donuts are also featured on Chef Thalakkat’s menu.

Designed by Atelier Pond, KOMO’s design draws inspiration from Maui’s natural landscape. The design is enhanced by L’Observatoire International‘s lighting concept.

KOMO joins the Resort’s collection of signature restaurants, including oceanfront Ferraro’s Restaurant & Bar and Wolfgang Puck’s Spago Maui. “KOMO adds an exciting new chapter to Four Seasons Resort Maui’s legacy of exceptional dining experiences,” said General Manager Ben Shank. “It embodies our commitment to creating unforgettable evenings for our guests, where world-class Japanese cuisine meets genuine Hawaiian hospitality in a setting that celebrates the magic of Maui.” 

KOMO welcomes guests from 5 to 9 p.m. For more information or reservations at KOMO, visit fourseasons.com/maui or call 808-874-8000.
