I May Look Japanese, But I Only Talk Story

Local first. Japanese later.

From a distance, people might assume you speak Japanese.

Then you open your mouth and it's pure local Hawaii.

Featuring the phrase "I May Look Japanese, But I Only Talk Story", this design is for the countless locals, mixed families, and island kids who grew up with plate lunches, family gatherings, and plenty of talk story.

It's a light-hearted nod to Hawaii's unique blend of cultures and the funny moments that happen when people make assumptions based on how you look.

Because being connected to Japanese heritage doesn't automatically mean speaking Japanese.

Sometimes it just means talking story, laughing with friends, and knowing exactly where to find the best poke.
