About Us
    Established by the Nagamine family some thirty years ago, Nu’uanu Okazuya   remains a
fixture in Honolulu for its traditional and innovative Japanese and local food selections that are
offered to the public. It is still located on Nu’uanu Avenue, just mauka (mountain-side) of
Chinatown.

    When Mark Kitagawa noticed a decline in Hawaii’s traditional Okazuya establishments he knew
he could make a difference. He wanted to offer foods to the many others that, like him, grew up
with in an Okazuya setting. In May 2007, Mark Kitagawa joined the Nagamine’s. He was taught all
of the “secret” recipes which made the Nagamine owned establishment such a popular eating spot.
Mark is now the new owner of Nu’uanu Okazuya, and remains true to the recipes he was taught.
Born and raised in Hawaii, Mark has been in the Food and Beverage industry for over 20 years,
and understands customer diversification and satisfaction.
