On an online survey, people were asked which "pupu" or appetizer/seafood/sushi item they liked better, spicy ahi or the age old Hawaiian staple, ahi poke. The results we quite interesting. 2 out of every 3 people chose spicy ahi! However, most of the same people that love spicy ahi, also love ahi poke as well...just not as much? We at Hawaiian Grown believe its more of a mood thing. You know: spicy vs. not spicy, chopped ahi vs. chunk ahi, limu & onions vs. no limu and onions! We did see a trend though, and to make sure we had something to offer to the competition, we created the dream combination of spicy ahi and sushi rice conveniently layered on top of each other! No fuss with sushi rolling or wraping nori around nigiri, just scoop and grind! Hanapa'a Sushi Company, sushi bar quality at take out prices!

There is no question, fresh Ahi and anything else go hand in hand, right? Well some people may debate that statement, especially if the other key ingredient is Natto, which is Japanese fermented soybeans! However, many many others, perhaps millions of Natto loving consumers, may attest that Natto, especially partnered with fresh Ahi, is an amazing combination! We agree with the pro's at Hanapa'a Sushi Co. that Ahi Natto is a true local favorite of many people that are indeed Hawaiian Grown! In fact it's one of Hanapa'a Sushi Co's top ten items sold at their 1st Times Supermarket location in Kaimuki! Ahi and Natto, oh nah?!
