Uwajimaya

Uwajimaya is an Asian grocery store chain operating in the Pacific Northwest. Its history traces to 1928, when Fujimatsu Moriguchi, a native of Yawatahama, Japan, began selling homemade fishcakes and other Japanese staples from the back of his truck in Tacoma, Washington; he named the business Uwajima-ya after the town of Uwajima where he learned his trade, with "ya" meaning "store" in Japanese. The company operates stores in Seattle (its flagship, anchor tenant of Uwajimaya Village), Bellevue (established 2011), Renton (established 2009), and Beaverton, Oregon (established 1998). Stores offer departments including grocery, seafood, meat, produce, and deli, and some locations house partner businesses such as Kinokuniya Bookstore, Beard Papa's, Ramen Ryoma, and Oasis Tea Zone.
