HMSHost has opened its newest restaurant concept, Mauka Market, in the new concourse at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). The restaurant will provide passengers with Hawaiian inspired cuisine and homegrown retail products.
The 92-seat Mauka Market – named for the nearby mountains – features pupus (starters) such as street fries, made with togarashi, aioli, yaki glaze, furikake, scallion, and bonito; and loco moco, a half-pound grilled local beef patty atop steamed furikake rice with brown gravy, cage-free fried eggs, mac salad, scallion, and crispy onions.
Mauka Market also serves ramen, and its bar features island-inspired cocktails made with regional flavors like lilikoi, guava, lychee, pineapple, and coconut, along with local spirits such as Ocean Organic Vodka and Kōloa Rum, both distilled from local sugar cane. Local craft brews from Aloha Beer Co. and Kona Brewing are also on tap, and Mauka Market has an assortment of bottles and cans, as well.
“Mauka Market pays homage to the land and resources Hawaii provides. We are delighted to offer visitors a taste of the islands the moment they arrive at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and offer locals a taste of home before they depart,” said Anthony Alessi, HMSHost vice president of business development.
Mauka Market’s grab-and-go is open 24/7 and travelers can enjoy the convenience of smart self-checkout of grab-and-go beverages and snacks.
