Uwajimaya Bellevue

Uwajimaya Bellevue offers a streamlined and highly organized shopping experience that caters to the diverse Eastside community. Following a significant renovation in 2021, this location features a modern, open-concept design that emphasizes fresh, high-quality perishables and premium imported goods. It is widely considered a more accessible and efficient alternative to the Seattle flagship, maintaining a meticulously clean environment that highlights the store’s extensive seafood and meat departments.

The store’s centerpiece is the “Sashimi Island,” a dedicated station where expert cutters prepare restaurant-quality fish in view of customers. It also features Sadako’s Café, an in-store deli serving a variety of hot Asian meals, and an upgraded Poke Bar offering fresh, customizable bowls. Beyond groceries, the Bellevue location boasts one of the most comprehensive sake selections in the Pacific Northwest and a robust “Gashapon” capsule toy section that brings a touch of Japanese pop culture to the shopping experience. Its integration of a high-end marketplace with a premium deli makes it a primary destination for both daily household needs and specialty culinary finds.
