Hurricane Popcorn quickly gained popularity on the islands, with both locals and tourists rushing to the pushcart to try this unique and delicious food. As demand increased, the company expanded, building additional sites throughout Hawaii and sending its goods to the mainland.

Hurricane Popcorn’s success can be credited to the company’s commitment to listening to customers and continuously experimenting with new flavor combinations. They have recently added various variations to the original recipe, such as hot sriracha and sweet caramel, to cater to varied tastes.

Despite their expansion and success, the company stays true to its roots in Kaneohe, sourcing local foods whenever possible and giving back to the community that helped them get started. Hurricane Popcorn has become a treasured staple in Hawaii, embodying the spirit of innovation and originality that defines the local culinary scene.

Munch on some Mochi Crunch, also known as kakimochi, a popular Japanese snack called Arare. This crispy treat is made from sticky rice and seasoned with shoyu for a burst of flavor. Whether at the park or school, it’s always been my go-to snack, especially when paired with popcorn during movie nights.

Furikake is the final touch to the Hurricane Popcorn, adding a burst of flavor. This Japanese condiment is traditionally sprinkled over rice, but as a kid, I loved using it to enhance the taste of plain rice. To make it stick to the popcorn, grind up the furikake seasoning with salt until it becomes a powder. Don’t forget to season the popcorn according to your preferences and savor every bite!

Pour melted butter over the popcorn and mix well to coat it evenly.
