OUR STORY

A Family Legacy

More Than a Market — It's Home

Since 1995, Tamura's Market has been more than just a grocery store. It's a gathering place, a taste of home, and a celebration of everything that makes Hawaii special.

What started as a small family-run market in Waianae has grown into Hawaii's most beloved local supermarket — with three locations, a legendary poke bar, a full kitchen, and a fine wine and liquors department that rivals any specialty shop in the state.

Through every expansion, we've held onto the same values: fresh ingredients, fair prices, and the kind of warm, genuine service that makes you feel like ohana the moment you walk through our doors.
