Neale Asato is an entrepreneur from the island of O’ahu. He is the owner of Asato Family Shop, which is best known for making “Local Kine” sherbet that honors the past while sharing it with the next generation. Their sherbet is more than just a treat, it’s a memory inspired by the old-school flavors of crack seed stores, the Manapua man, and the local snacks we grew up with, every scoop is a taste of small kid time in Hawai’i. Their mission is to carry on the history of Hawai’i, the food, and the culture. In this episode we talk about growing up in the restaurant industry, all the jobs he used to have, starting his business Asato Family Shop, making local flavors of sherbet, working with family, their new Waikiki location, and so much more.
