Tsunami's offering is part of a menu created by Chef Ben Smith, who is known for an innovative culinary style influenced by extensive travels in the Pacific Rim. The rich, buttery flavor and firm texture of the yellowtail pair well with a crisp, dry sake or a light Japanese beer, which cleanses the palate between bites.
