The awe-inspiring Rinka restaurant was constructed with an open concept that includes a sushi bar, a sleek interior complete with warm tones and a high ceiling accented by modern lighting elements.
Situated on the Aeo tow- er’s ground level within the bustling Ward Village, Rin-
ka offers an assortment of authentic Japanese cuisine including sushi, tempura, soba and sashimi prepared fresh by the talented heart- of-the-house team. Like the Japanese flower that it is named for, Rinka continues to blossom with an array of delicious dishes and flavor combinations within its spa- cious, inviting setting.
Seafood enthusiasts will be thrilled to enjoy the diverse
options that Rinka prepares with the freshest ingredients. Sashimi Combination Deluxe ($68.75) is crafted with pre- cision featuring assorted fish from Japan.
Simmered Flounder ($16.75) is prepared in a sweet soy sauce, while Roast Beef Salad Japanese Style ($12.75) is crafted with succulent beef, greens and tomatoes with a housemade mustard dressing.
“If you’re looking to enjoy Japanese food with your fa- vorite beverage, and hang out with friends and family, we’re here to welcome you,” says Rinka manager Midori Omura. “The goal is to pro- vide a great meal, drinks and excellent customer service.”
Omura also recommends the Summer Omakase Course ($100), which comes with a variety of specials in one meal.
