Caffeine-packed KonaMoka makes its debut
in stores this week.

A new way to get your
jolt of java

What's brewing on the isle caffeine scene? Award-winning KonaMoka, powered by three shots of 100 percent Kona coffee espresso -- more than the two-shot grande at Starbucks.

The creamy, rich KonaMoka won two prizes in Fresh Cup magazine's 1996 Coffee Cool contest -- best mocha drink and grand prize for best beverage.

KonaMoka premieres this week at Daiei, Foodland, 7-Eleven, Times, KTA, Sure Save and other stores. A 16-ounce bottle costs about $2.

Serve KonaMoka cold or hot. But beware of its hefty 24 grams of fat.

Swimming in salmon

Atlantic king salmon continues to swim into isle stores at best buy prices of $3.99 to $4.99 a pound at Foodland, Star and Daiei. Other best buys include asparagus for $1.47 to $1.89 a pound at Sack N Save, Foodland and IGH (Independent Grocers of Hawaii), and red delicious apples for 68 cents at Daiei and, at Foodland, 48 cents for Maika'i Club members or 79 cents for others.
