About Tamura's Market

FAMILY HISTORY OF SERVING HAWAII FOR 100 YEARS

In the 1920s, Makitaro Tamura opened his first store (Tamura Shoten) on the main street of Waianae. Makitaro eventually turned the store over to one of his sons, Katsuichi Tamura. Katsuichi changed the name of the store to K. Tamura Store which is currently known as Tamura Super Market.

Herbert Tamura (Katsuichi’s son) and his son Glenn Tamura, decided to venture out from the original family company (Tamura Super Market) and start their own establishment. In 1995, Tamura Enterprises, Inc. was formed, operating a grocery store and liquor division. Today, Tamura Enterprises, Inc. has grown to include three Grocery Stores, eight Fine Wine & Liquors Stores, one takeout Kitchen, and one Restaurant & Bar with locations on Oahu and Maui. We firmly believe that we provide our loyal customers everyday low pricing and do not need a courtesy card required for in-store special pricing.

All our Poke Departments use FRESH AHI from Honolulu Fish Auction. For 9 consecutive years, Tamura’s Poke has been voted as a finalist for Hawaii’s Magazine Reader's Choice Awards for Best Place for Poke. We guarantee you will find something that you’ll fall in love with!
