MIAMI, July 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Benihana Inc.
(NASDAQ: BNHN), the nation's leading operator of Japanese-themed
and sushi restaurants, has created a new lounge menu with nine
Japanese-inspired bites, added one entree to its famous Teppanyaki
menu and crafted seven new refreshing cocktails.
For those looking for a delicious way to relax after a long
day's work, Benihana has created a new lounge menu featuring
slightly lighter fare. The 1964 Roll offers a variation of a
classic with Kani Kami crab, shrimp, cucumber and crunchy spinach
tempura bits in a sweet eel sauce. For guests who prefer
cuisine with a kick, the Volcano Shrimp – crispy shrimp served
on a bed of mixed greens with a creamy spicy dipping sauce – will
hit the spot. Or for those who enjoy a more contemporary dish,
the lounge menu offers a Trio of Fish Tacos, featuring tuna, salmon
and tilapia sashimi with avocado, grape tomato, shallot salsa and
taco sauce.
Guests looking to enjoy Benihana's traditional Teppanyaki dining
room experience have a delicious new option, too – Hibachi
Mango Salmon. The dish features hibachi salmon with sweet potatoes
and vegetables, served with delicious Asian-inspired mango
salsa. The Hibachi Mango Salmon is the perfect meal to enjoy
with family and friends in the dining room while watching
Benihana's famous performing chefs.
Any of Benihana's seven new cocktails are the perfect complement
to either dining experience. Start off the evening with the
Yuzu Margarita – a delicious blend of Patron Silver Tequila,
Patron Citronge, organic agave nectar and yuzu sour mix. Or
try Tokyo Wild Tea with ABSOLUT Wild Tea Vodka, iichiko shochu,
yuzu sour mix, organic black iced tea and Gosling's Ginger Beer. Top off your night with the Tokyo
Manhattan – a sophisticated mix of The Yamazaki 12 Years
Single Malt Whisky, Lillet Rouge,
Cherry Herring and Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters.
