Catch Hari’s
return on TV

Hari Kojima returns to the kitchen and to television Sunday with the premiere of "AT&T Taste Hawaii with Hari," a new half-hour weekly series on KFVE.

Kojima's "Let's Go Fishing" was a local staple for nearly 30 years on KHON. "Hari's Kitchen" aired for a decade. But the station canceled the shows after a dispute with Kojima earlier this year.

The new show will continue Kojima's fishing adventures in Hawaii and elsewhere as well as feature cooking segments with guest chefs. Kojima promises it will be done in "typical Hari style."
