Specifically came in looking for Crème de Cassis after failing to find any at Longs, Walmart, Costco, and Don Quijote, and score! They had like 5 different brands of it. Also picked up some nice whiskeys. The owner/worker is super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Easily accessible location right near my house, never too busy, with ample private parking. The interior is nothing fancy, but I'm here for the excellent product, good prices, and great service, not the vibes. Highly recommend shopping here for your alcohol(ic) needs.

I was craving a poke bowl so I decided to go to Tamura's which is just walking distance from where…read moreI work. I ordered the All Ahi Poke Bowl, and I got the Ahi Sunrise and Ahi Tamura's Sauce. Ahi Sunrise is more of a loaded Spicy Ahi, and you can really feel the heat from the sriracha mayo. As for the Ahi Tamura's Sauce, I liked how flavorful and tangy it was. They don't do samples of the poke but you can ask the staff all about the different types of poke that they have. The cuts of the ahi were HUGE, which was a plus for me. Really satisfied that I had this for my lunch, I told my coworkers about it so they ordered too and were satisfied as well.

This wine shop is a treasure trove of imported wines, spirits, and beer. Their wine selection is decent and pricing reasonable especially in their champagne. They have a wonderful range of selections from France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Argentina, etc. They also carry wines from Washington, California, and Oregon. Their spirits selection was equally impressive! We were looking for a couple bottles to bring to dinner. We ended up getting a bottle or Vincent Wengier Chablis and Loriot-Pages Brut Champagne. These were based on recommendations by the staff. Service was amazing. The staff were very friendly and walked us through their collection and provided excellent recommendations.

But, they do not have just wines (a vast and impressive selection of, by the way)! I went to check out their whiskys and whiskeys, of which they have a very good selection of, but not too extensive. You do not go there to buy the cheap stuff, rather to look for something special or unique. Been there a couple times: first time we went the person behind the counter was way too helpful, almost forcing their knowledge on you when it wasn't warranted. The second time was met with a very friendly and non-intrusive but knowledgeable employee, which made me feel better about buying a few bottles of whiskey. I'd say prices are the same as other stores. Ambiance is great. If I go again, next time I'll check out their wine selection.

This Tamura's happens to be right down the street from my doctors office. Their poke selection is much bigger than the one closer to home.

Also, if anyone is looking for disposable masks... she's selling them in packs of 10 for $20. A bit pricey, but... hey... if you want it or need it, she has a bunch here! Nice mama too! After I found out it was $20... I apologized for not wanting them anymore and she was ok about it. She didn't treat me like dirt! Like MOST liquor shops would agree you turn down a purchase. Maybe it's because I bought the last bottle of liquor I needed. Lol! I dont know... but I hope she's not like the other mom & pop shops. To me she was nice! They seem to have what other liquors stores have EXCEPT, they actually had the ONE LIQUOR EVERYONE SEEMED TO BE LOOKING FOR @ THIS VERY TIME. And funny things is... ITS NOT THE SAME NAME. So for me... I asked if they had that liquor & she showed it to me and unfortunately for those who was looking for the liquor by NAME... it was under another name. I just so happened to have gotten the very LAST BOTTLE for a while. Perhaps if people didn't forget how to communicate during COVID-19 ISOLATION/DISTANCING... maybe everyone would find what they needed. Lol! Or just saying "Hello" could make a persons day. Thank You Mama for the assist! Take care & be safe! Be back soon.

Quite the memorable experience, we are so thankful. We were also pleasantly surprised to find a rare bottle of a Japanese smokey whiskey! We haven't seen this in other stores so I purchased it. Additionally they sell chilled beer from Japan, again, in flavors that aren't common in the grocery store. Thank you again for the information and sake tasting. We are quite thrilled to try the smokey whiskey at home. Most certainly coming back when we need a bottle of sake, or two.
