Koko Prelude



Spicy Ahi Tartare can be found on the menu at Koko Sushi Bar & Lounge under Preludes.  This delectable appetizer can be shared or easily consumed by oneself. A simplistic japanese plate presentation highlights a mound of Maguro Ahi that has a kick of heat from finely diced peppers and modestly embellished with a cucumber garnish. The plate is sprinkled with yuzu citrus soy and served with light puffy triangles of baked wonton chips. 


Diner notes that may be helpful:
Tartare=preparation of chopped sushi grade raw ahi
Ahi=high grade tuna that is best served raw or rare
Maguro (mah-goo-roh)=Japanese term for Bluefin tuna, a most commonly known fish eaten in sushi dining
Yuzu Soy: also know as Ponzu sauce, is a soy sauce blended with Yuzu fruit, an east Asian citrus, that has a distinctively sweet, sour, and slight salty flavor good for all kinds of seafood.
