Aloha Hilo Day Trip: Kawamoto Store


Last year was my first-ever visit to the always busy Kawamoto Store.  It was our second stop of the day during our Hawaii Mom Blog Hilo Day Trip, yet we were still too late to try the popular Nori Chicken.

On a recent Aloha Hilo Day Trip with Melissa, Laurie, and Denise, Kawamoto's was our very first stop, because Melissa NEEDED Shrimp Tempura.  No matter how long we needed to wait, she needed to eat some, because she had it on her last trip to Hilo, and she absolutely loved it.

As luck would have it, we found parking right in front of Kawamoto's, there were only two people in line, and not only was there Nori Chicken, but there was a fresh tray of Shrimp Tempura.


Naturally, I had to try one.
Corned Beef Hash, Nori Chicken, Shrimp Tempura
I don't normally eat Shrimp Tempura, but I must admit, it was just as good as Melissa said it would be.  Crunchy and flavorful.  I could've easily eaten more.  I thought the Nori Chicken was tasty, as well as the cute little Corned Beef Hash.  

Everyone is so friendly at Kawamoto Store, and I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the items you order.
