PUPUS, Hawaiian snacks similar to hors d’oeuvers,
tapas, and canapés,
make up the third segment of my A-to-Z Challenge
theme.
Unagi
is the Japanese word for freshwater eel. Genki Sushi Restaurant in Honolulu
serves sliced unagi over rice topped with a dipping sauce called Tare, a
sweetened, thickened soy sauce.
I
am not a fan of eel in any form but do believe in authenticity when writing
articles. So I patronized the Genki Sushi at Ala Moana Center and selected a
platter of Unagi from the converor belt of ready-made offerings.
If
you have read my ‘O’ post for AtoZ, you’ll understand when I say that Unagi and
Uni (Sea Urchin Roe) are not on my list of Ono
foods.
My
second sushi choice for the day was a plate of California Rolls, far better
suited to a palate accustomed to fried perch and smoked salmon.
