After a few bites of my first bowl at Boulder’s only shop devoted to poké, big flavors were pinging around my tastebuds like pinballs ringing bells and flashing lights.
Tender chunks of spicy raw salmon harmonized with house-made kimchi and marinated shiitake mushrooms. Furikake spice and nori seaweed combined with a little chili oil and ponzu to add oomph to a bed of steamed brown rice, sauteed bok choy, edamame and cucumbers.
Like the finest nigiri and sushi rolls, this bowl I enjoyed at Pearl Poké spoke to me like any other culinary work of art…
