Prior to enjoying one’s entree, Tanaka of Tokyo vice president Hiroshi Lamansky recommends the flavorful Blackened Ahi ($11.75) that is caught in Hawaiian waters and seared to perfection on the outside to lock in the fresh flavor. Another popular appetizer is Ahi Poke ($10.95), a Hawaiian staple made with fresh island tuna that is marinated with onions, sesame oil, soy sauce and local spices.
