If you’re searching for the best poke on Maui, Tamura’s Fine Wines & Liquors is a must-visit spot. While it may sound surprising, this liquor store is famous for its fresh, high-quality poke that rivals even the best restaurants on the island. I am not a fan of Poke, and I have heard from many friends and acquaintances that Tamura’s is the best on the island.
Tamura’s is located in Kihei, Kahului, and Lahaina (and other locations across Hawaii), Tamura’s offers a wide variety of poke flavors, from classic Shoyu Ahi to Spicy Ahi and unique creations like Wasabi Masago and Kimchi Tako. The poke is made fresh daily, using premium-grade fish and flavorful seasonings, making it a local favorite for grab-and-go meals or snacks. Many locals and visitors alike swear by Tamura’s poke as the freshest and most flavorful on Maui.
Tamura’s is not a restaurant, so there’s no sit-down dining—it’s a liquor store that just happens to have an incredible poke counter. This makes it the perfect place to pick up some poke for a beach picnic, a quick lunch, or to share at a gathering. Along with poke, Tamura’s has an extensive selection of wines, beers, and spirits, so you can pair your poke with the perfect drink. The casual, no-frills vibe only adds to the charm, and the quality of the poke speaks for itself. If you’re a poke lover visiting Maui, Tamura’s Fine Wines & Liquors should definitely be on your list!
