Experience Fine Dining At Home In Hawaii With A Takeout Tasting Menu From Mugen
There’s no doubt in our minds that the Hawaiian Islands are home to some incredible restaurants, and while we love ambiance as much as the next person, it can be easily argued that the food is the most important aspect of a restaurant, and we’ll take what we can get right now. For a delicious meal you’ll never forget, you’ll want to order the takeout tasting menu offered at one of our favorite luxury Hawaii restaurants.
Found inside Espacio — the jewel of Waikiki — a new hotel nestled in Hawaii’s most famous tourist destination, Mugen is one of the most unique restaurants in Honolulu.
Mugen — pronounced Moog-in — is a Japanese-French dining concept that is taking the city by storm and elevating Hawaii’s status as a destination for culinary travel.
The son of a French mother and Japanese father, Chef Jason Yamaguchi drew his inspiration for Mugen from each culture’s rich culinary lineage, mixing traditional preparation methods with his signature experimental style.
Patrons will typically enjoy globally-sourced cuisine, rare wines, and elegant spirits in a space unlike any other, and while we can’t dine in right now, the takeout tasting menu at Mugen is elevating our at-home date nights to an unparalleled level of luxury.
Offering a curated selection of dishes plus a brand-new bento option that rotates weekly, there’s no better time to try Mugen. At just $25 per box, these bentos will give you a taste of what this fine dining restaurant has to offer at an affordable price.
Parisienne gnocchi, bouillabaisse with local shellfish in a saffron broth, and gem salad with shio-miso vinaigrette are just a few of the tasty options you’ll find on the takeout menu at Mugen. If you want to be extra fancy, you can even order the kiawe-smoked Sasanian Osetra caviar.
The restaurant is even — for the first time ever — offering its full wine and drink menu for carryout as well, including a range of signature cocktails.
