Our Story
The Heart Behind Kenepelas Kitchen
Kenepela means Jennifer in Hawaiian. With roots in the traditions of Hawaii and Japan, we proudly embrace the spirit of Ohana, which means family. Some of Jenn's favorite childhood memories were spending time with her Ohana in Honolulu. We would pick plumerias, and make leis for the visitors at the Honolulu Church of Christ.
