Point 2: Introducing the “FF POKE” poke-don menu!
FF POKE is run by the daughter of a fisherman and is steadily gaining recognition on the East Coast as a place where you can enjoy delicious poke-don on rice.
Since it offers the familiar Hawaiian dish of poke-don, which is freshly caught, the number of fans is steadily increasing, especially among locals, and it will probably not take long for the restaurant to become a “restaurant with lines out the door”.
The ordering system is as follows: first select the size, then choose the type of rice (white rice, millet, or vinegared rice), and select toppings and seasonings.
The poke bowl pictured is the regular size (1,250 yen) with sushi rice, salmon, and soy sauce, topped with regular toppings furikake, sesame, onion, and green onion, and additional avocado (+180 yen) and fried onions (+100 yen), creating a bowl with a crunchy texture! The crunchy texture is irresistible.
Thus, unlike Japanese rice bowls, the appeal of poke-don is that you can freely combine seafood with avocado, fried onions, and other toppings.
In addition to salmon, the main seafood toppings include tuna, octopus, shrimp, etc. Seasonings include soy sauce, garlic soy sauce, salt, garlic, spicy mayo, cold ginger, etc. You can add whatever you like.
Toppings include avocado, fried onions, cucumber, edamame, boiled egg (+50 yen), umi Budou (+150 yen), and Tobikko (+180 yen), allowing you to create a poke bowl that “looks good” according to your preference.
