Tamura's Market - Wahiawā

Did not expect such a large interior for this food store. Large selection of fresh and frozen fish (and a Pome counter, natural, and meat, and fresh products, including a lot of vegetables that are harder to find in generic supermarkets. (Sadly, many vegetables are already packaged in plastic bags, which means that if you do not want plastic bags due to the pollution they cause, you are lucky. Also has a whole range of dry goods, et cetera. Services friendly, although check-ou lines can move slowly at times.

Delicious Poke. Didn't really drink into the market. Great in this place is that there is a chain, so there are several of these markets on the island/s. This makes it fantastic if you want consistent quality poke.

Tamura is as local as possible. It is a family chain store and it carries everything you expect from a grocery store. In addition, it has a plate counter, a schnapps section and they even sell decent cigars. And if you need poke, it has one of the best choices and prices on the island.

Tamura's is a small town grocery store with a handful of locations distributed on the island. Nothing beautiful, but it gets 5 stars for a reason. Special items. They bring various foods from frozen, packed- they deliver!! I was addicted to various BBQ chips (my favorites like Stubbs, and loved the Detroit Frozen Pizza (please bring back!!! But today I will tell you about my favorite. LI HING LEMON PEEL GUMMY BEARS. I had all the different brands from all different places, and this is the hands below THE BEST in my humble opinion. I started to overthrow these ruthless bears for a while, but I never noticed mentioning them. I'm sorry. Better late than never right? No matter, they are the perfect ratio of Li-Hing and lemon peel on each bear. I don't know how they do it, but there are no “naked” bears in there. (I really hate it when they are naked!!! Lol And like the company name, Hawaiian addictions. You're really addicted. Not cheap special price at $7 per bag. Regularly near $10 but worth it. You have Japanese so I love buying Jarritos Mexican Sodas for Taco Tuesday are a regular favorite. My family loves Tamara's brand Chili Pepper Water and her poke. A lot of delicious things. As always we support local so if your passing thru stop by!

Food is awesome, can always find what you need. Prices are about the same all over the isles. The Poke here is phenomenal.
