Tamura's Market has several locations in Hawaii, but for the purposes of this post, I will focus on the Wahiawa branch. Inside the building, one can go to Tamura's Kitchen to get some breakfast bentos and plate lunches.

I went with the Poke Bowl #4 ($6.99): a bed of rice, furikake, spicy tuna, and a sweet-savory glaze drizzled on top. The meal was constructed to order.

A satisfying, delicious poke bowl featuring fresh fish. The spicy tuna was not overly creamy ( a good thing), but, like with many other locations, I found the spice hard to detect. Less mayo should do the trick, probably. The sweet-savory dark glaze contrasted well and made this dish stand out from other spicy tuna bowls I've had.
I also sampled Tamura's fish patty ($1.25) and spam musubi ($1.59). The patty was juicy and seasoned well. In the end, it's really just a ground tuna patty cooked all the way through. Simple, yet tasty.

| That's a pretty thick spam musubi... |
Tamura's has a spam musubi with thick layers of rice, making the darned thing look like it got hit by gamma rays. I liked that bit of sweetness (some form of teriyaki sauce?) in the middle of the musubi, contrasting nicely with the salty spam.
Pretty good stuff for a reasonable price. That poke bowl was killer good, and I'd come back just for that. But there are at least five other poke bowl choices as well...decisions, decisions.
8/10
