Celebrating 98 years

Since 1928, Uwajimaya has been more than just a grocery store—it’s been a part of the Pacific Northwest community. From our founder, Fujimatsu Moriguchi, serving fishcakes from the back of his truck in Tacoma, WA, we’ve grown into the largest locally and family-owned Asian grocery retailer in the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you for being part of our story for 98 amazing years.
