Already a favorite for poke, Foodland now offers a new flavor for its fresh fish. The ginger scallion ‘ahi tataki poke echoes Hawai‘i’s own melting pot culture, combining the zingy, savory and refreshing sauce of cold ginger chicken with cubes of quick-seared ‘ahi. Try it by the pound, or as a poke bowl or bento!

The makers of POG have hit another home run with a new drink that can only be found at Foodland. Smooth black tea, made sweet and tropical with the addition of pineapple juice, this iconic local sip is the perfect solution to Hawai‘i’s scorching summer heat. Enjoy alone with ice, or get creative as a mixer for your own refreshing cocktail creation.
Maika‘i Shaka Session IPA

Foodland joined forces with local fave Honolulu Beerworks to produce its very first beer. With a bright, hoppy flavor and low ABV, the Maika‘i Shaka Session IPA makes for easy Island drinking, sun up or sun down. It pairs perfectly with pau hana staples, including the ones on this list!
Fried Chicken Skin

Move over, pork rinds: There’s a new crunchy obsession in town. Foodland’s fried chicken skin is positively addicting and might just be our favorite new chip. Each piece is dusted and deep-fried just right, resulting in crispy savory bites you’ll keep reaching for. Pair with dip, beer or nothing at all—just don’t be surprised when it disappears.

What’s a party without some fireworks? The Firecracker Seafood dip is a rich, creamy spread with just enough kick to wake up your tastebuds. Featuring mayo, sour cream, imitation crab, sriracha, green onion and more, it’s good with just about any dip. May we suggest fried chicken skin?
