Founded by Fujimatsu Moriguchi, one of the few Japanese Americans to return here from the WWII internment camps, this large department and grocery store – a cornerstone of Seattle’s Asian community – has everything from fresh fish and exotic fruits and vegetables to cooking utensils and homewares. It's a terrific place to go gift shopping.
The current location is a self-styled community that includes living quarters and occupies a whole block. There’s a food court in addition to the grocery store.
