“For the markets and Fine Wine & Liquors stores, we’ve tried to make our poke department a destina- tion. Just recently this year, we were voted No. 1 for best poke department (in Ha- wai‘i’s Best 2021, awarded by Honolulu Star-Advertis- er),” Mita adds. “That’s one of the niches we’ve devel- oped. We pride ourselves on always having fresh ‘ahi, not previously frozen ‘ahi.”
Katsuichi’s son — and his son Glenn branched out on their own to create Tamura En- terprises Inc. in 1995. Glenn continues to guide the compa- ny’s operations.
Spicy ‘ahi, pipikaula and more are among the store’s big sellers within the poke selection, he shares.
The company is also ac- tively seeking good can- didates to work at all of its stores, including clerks in the poke, produce and cour- tesy departments, along with cashiers. They can visit the
store directly and ask for an application or apply online at tamurasmarket.com to fill out a PDF application, which can be emailed back.

“Tamura’s is four gener- ations strong,” Mita says. “For Glenn Tamura, he had a vision. He’s a good entre- preneur ... He likes fish, so that’s why he wanted to fo- cus on the poke department. One thing grew and it kind of snowballed into what we are today.”
