SASHIMI AND AVOCADO

DINNER AT HOME

So lucky to live in Hawaii and enjoy incredible fresh Ahi most of the year.  This small block of Ahi cost $21 at Foodland Farms and it was more than enough for two.  When the Ahi is this fresh, it cuts like butter and melts in your mouth.  A HUGE difference from most store and restaurant bought Ahi which is injected with carbon manoxide to keep the deep red color.  You heard me right "carbon monoxide".  We always try to buy fresh non-treated Ahi and can tell the difference from the treated Ahi when it is served in restaurants and in Poke.

SEARED AHI AND SASHIMI

DINNER AT HOME

Scored the perfect block of fresh Ahi and decided to prepare it two ways.  Blackened with Cajun Spices and Sashimi style.  This is one of my favorite meals on the planet and perfect when you want a satisfying light meal.  So lucky to live in Hawaii where we can get such great fresh fish.

RINKA JAPANESE RESTAURANT

Really enjoyed our evening at Rinka.  Food and service were excellent.  Great waiter who was doing his best to take care of tables with small children.  From spilling water to loosing a toy behind the seat, he cleaned and helped the families with a smile.  The Blue Fin Tuna Bowl which included fresh Uni was excellent as was the Hot Udon and Tempura.  At almost $70 this set was not cheap, but the quality and flavors were fantastic.  My wife enjoyed the Regular Sashimi Set and loved it.  Will definitely be back to Rinka.  In fact, my daughter saw the photos and requested that I take her here.
