Irasshai: Eat, Drink, Kanpai! presented by Bank of Hawaiʻi

Taste, sip, and indulge under glowing lanterns at our magical evening in Mōʻiliʻili! Join us for the 4th Annual Irasshai: Eat, Drink, Kanpai! presented by Bank of Hawaiʻi, a fundraiser for the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaiʻi (JCCH).

Step into the vibrant energy of Japan's street festivals as glowing lanterns, live music, and the aroma of delicious food surround you. Wander throughout our courtyard and ballroom to enjoy street food-inspired tastings from local chefs, along with refreshing beverages to toast the night. This year, we are excited to welcome The Local General Store, Sachi Sweets, Sumida Farm, and Yuji Hawaii, along with returning favorites like ABURIYA IBUSHI, C4 Table, and Peace Cafe. More restaurants and vendors are coming soon. Check out our event page for updates!

Your ticket to Irasshai includes access to all the above, but most importantly will provide year-round support for the JCCH’s cultural outreach programs and educational resources.

This is a 21+ event. Tickets are available for purchase at www.jcchawaii.org/events/irasshai2026

A silent auction, golden ticket drawing, and cultural activities will add to the excitement. Please join us for an unforgettable evening of vibrant flavors, festival spirits, and community celebration!
