Visit Hilo: Kawamoto Store


If you can, call in your order to Kawamoto Store in advance.  If not, you may have to wait in a long line if you walk-in.  And call in well in advance.  We would typically call the day before, but a friend called several days before to pick up on a Saturday only to be told they were not taking any more pre-orders that day (turned out they had a huge pre-order - we saw boxes and boxes walk out!).

I usually get the same things at Kawamoto - SPAM Musubi and Nori Chicken.  On this visit I also got Eggplant Tempura (delish!) as well as Shortbread and Peanut Butter Cookies.  My friends didn't care for the Nori Chicken, but I liked it!  

It was my first time trying the cookies and they were good!  The man in line in front of me had a bag of cookies in hand and he said they were good.  When I checked out, the employee told me they baked them the day before and they sold 37 bags so far.

My friends got all sorts of goodies - Shrimp Tempura, Shoyu Chicken, Inari, Hot Dog, and more.
