I like Fujioka's for unusual, interesting, off the beaten path type items. They have a great selection of wine, including local mead. They have a selection of cocktail making ingredients and liquors. If I'm making a cocktail with a hard-to-find liqueur or cordial, chances are they have it. The service is always prompt and attentive. There's a refrigerated section with beers, including local ones. I like the convenience of this store on the bottom level of the Market City marketplace. read more

We never know this place existed until we went to dinner right next to this place, after dinner, we walked by and I told my wife, let's check this out. My wife doesn't really drink and I am not a heavy drinker myself, but when I entered the store, it was impressive! The amount of drink variety they offer is huge, from beer to sake, wine to whiskey, you name it, they got it. If you love alcohol, you really need to go check this out. By the way, this place is located at Market city mall, bottom level. read more

Fujioka's Wine Times is one of the best places to buy wines if you are in Honolulu, Hawaii. They have prompt services and phone call service. The price is very reasonable for being in Hawaii. Also they offer the discount for purchasing a case. For me its my favorite champagne: Bollinger Champagne. The wine are also in great condition as they know how to properly store the wine unlike some local grocery markets. Overall this is my to go wine shop in town, if you are looking for one, try this wine shop! read more

Fujioka's Wine Times - Bollinger Champagne. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great selection of not only wine but cigars, whiskey , and more!!! We felt so lucky to find this place! Thank you to the cashiers for all your help you gentleman are awesome! We so will be back!!! read more

The gal at the Kapolei store was very friendly and helpful while doing a lot of multi tasking! Give her a raise!

They carry a decent selection of wine, but the customer service is awful. It shouldn't be that hard to acknowledge customers who walk in ready to buy wine. On top of that, cashier had zero personality - No "thank you" or any courtesy at all. read more

When I need a bottle of wine, a bottle of whiskey, a spirit or a sake, Fujioka has been my go to store for decades. Fujioka's started with a grocery store in Haleiwa, then Lyle Fujioka expanded and open his wine shop. Over the years I've seen it grow and and expanded into different types of liquors. Not only do they have a great selection, they have a very helpful staff that are always there to help you and make suggestions. ***** Highly Recommended ***** https://www.timessupermarkets.com/store/fujioka%E2%80%99s-wine-times https://yelp.to/vW8ZT3yBXK read more

Came here to find my smoked whiskey. I'm a sucker for smokey peaty whisky and I love Laphroaig Whiskey. This place had so many different types of alcohol, but most importantly, they had Laphroaig and 3 different types on the shelf (10yrs, Select, and Quarter Cask). I've tried them all before and they were decently priced here. They had Ardbeg Uigeadail whiskey which has won awards and voted the best one of the brand. I choose this one cause I wanted to give it a try. The cashier (forgot his name) was very informational about my brands that he pointed out a Laphroaig 10yrs behind the counter, but it was 120 proof (60+% alcohol). Now I couldn't decide which one to buy so I bought them both for just under $200. I got home to try the Ardbeg and it was super duper smoky and made my mouth real numb lol. I enjoyed it. I won't touch my Laphroaig yet until I finish the Ardbeg. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The parking is large. This little store is located on the backside of Market City near Ben Franklin Kaimuki. read more

Large selection of wine and liquor and some at very reasonable prices, staff is very helpful and friendly.

I always walk out with a surprise. The guys are really helpful. You will find amazing wines you won't find elsewhere. Go to the international section and explore. Try something new. Great wine store for someone who loves to travel and wants to recreate a wine experience. You will find it here. Cheers ! read more

Fabulous compendium of all types of liquor. Very knowledgeable staff! Best wine tastings also.

The sheer volume and quality of items is amazing here. From wine, which is expansive and diverse, to liquor of all brands and flavors, everything you want and need can be found here. But what sets Fujioka's apart from other similar specialty stores, is the knowledge and enthusiasm of those working here. We came looking for sake for our sake night. The descriptions and suggestions were on point and matched exactly our personal tastes. They also made sure to suggest bottles that were well within our price range. read more

Best selection on island. In Hawaii. Hard to get liqure and aperitif. Knowledgeable staff.

Review for AAPI / AANHPI month: Here for the Times. He said give me your location, I said Fujioka's at Times supermarket. Parking is hit or miss but not as annoying as say, Tamura's. Not as blown out either so we were content; no anxiety or rushy vibes. Store is clean, no dust and musk and we were on the top shelves. Nice. Found the bourbon we desired and the success always tastes just as sweet! Four Roses ! *chefs kiss. Also spontaneously purchased an Old Forester Statesmen. Felt knightly. Very comparable selection and competitively affordable prices so you're totally in the right place. All in all a convenient little liquor store perfect for a last minute pit stop prior to the beach or a tropical bbq. Gift the hosts with a bottle or two or a bottle and caviar are my top shelf tips. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Brian today. He recommended a nice champagne to toast with at our daughter's wedding. He was so helpful and knowledgeable about the stock and made it easy for us to make our purchase! read more

Fujioka's Wine Times - Our pick! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Again, I had to go back to Fujioka's for my birthday wines (this Sunday!). I do not even want to discuss my age, but I made it this far and I really wanted some serious and special wine for the party. Fujioka's has everything on the planet from the affordable end to the highest end (most serious store in HI, for sure!). I absolutely love N. White Rhone wines (tasted blind, most cannot be differentiated as white vs. red). I purchased 2 more bottles of the E. Guigal 2007 Ex Voto Hermitage Blanc and Steve was awesome as usual and knew exactly what I was looking for. He also recommended some generic Bourgogne reds that I suspect will be designed just for my palate (earthy, forest floor and mushrooms if you understand). Picked up a couple of these too. Thanks Steve for your help and thanks Fujioka's for having serious wines in HI! read more

As a beer fan and always on the lookout for something new, I find it fun to try off-the-beaten-path kind of places. On a recent grocery run, I had the idea to stop in here and am glad I did. Fujioka's Wine Times is a local chain of wine stores, but they sell so much more. This one is located in Market City Shopping Center on the lower level near the car ramp. It's easily accessible from the lower lot or safely through the staircase in Walgreens that brings you outside right near the entrance. Like most of the stores in this center, it looks misleadingly small. The entrance is dark with some flyers and ads. Inside the door is a rack of used cigar boxes for sale, then you realize how big it is. As the name implies, the focus here is on wines; it's a literal wine cellar. The checkout counter is the left, with wines organized all around. Along the right wall is the beer, both room temperature bottles and refrigerators with beach-ready selections. They also sell cigars and have large humidors in this area as well, a gentleman opened them during my visit and the smell was intoxicating. My review will focus on the beer selection, as I'm not a fan of wine. I was taken aback at the beer selection. They have many typical local and mainland examples you can find at any grocery store, but they also had a large selection of richer Trappist beer, barrel aged beers from different years, and ciders. Prices are reasonable, with many rotating sales. One thing to note is check the dates; many are years passed the 'best by' dates, but honestly it won't matter with many. Others like Orval have a sweet spot at around 5 years old, so these may be perfect for enjoying without cellaring at home. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, even throwing in a discount for nice conversation about the store. I look forward to stopping in more regularly and really digging into what's on the shelves. It reminds me of beer stores that have long since closed on the island. read more

The staff is amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable on their products. We didn't even know this place exist till my friend told us about it. They have wine/champagne tastings every friday so that's treat you don't want to miss! Overall prices are very reasonable and lots of good selections to choose from. We'll definitely be back for more! read more

This place gets all 5 stars from me for these simple reasons: 1. Thoughtful selection of wine, sake', spirits. 2. Reasonable prices for these items. 3. Knowledgeable and helpful service. 4. All of this is delivered in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This is not a huge warehouse store, nor is it rock-bottom prices. But it does have some fine and unique selections that are better than most Mainland liquor stores with prices to match. Today I spied French Burgundy from the Aloxe-Corton, a full set of EH Taylor bourbons, and about 50 Sake' selections. The fact that this was while on vacation surrounded by ocean on all sides is nothing short of impressive. The staff here is really helpful and truly interested in helping you find a gem to pair with your plans. I witnessed a guy getting a private tutoring lesson on what would go well with a spiral ham in port reduction glaze by one of their staff members. That was really nice to see and I thought about being a smart-ass and asking what they thought would go well with my plate lunch and SPAM musubi but knew that might be pushing it. Bottom line is that this place, for being on an island, really delivers a fine service to Oahu and is a very well-kept secret for the tourists. Luckily, I found it and scored an awesome bottle of bourbon for my vacation over New Years. I wish I had more places like this on the Mainland. read more

Best place to get your different types of wines. The staff here are very knowledgeable on what they have in store and can make great decisions for you if your stuck or really just don't know what to get. Simply let them know what type of food you'll be eating or what flavor you'd like and they'll pair you off with a great wine. Highly recommend coming here for your wine and dine decisions you won't regret it. read more

Fujioka's Wine Times - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

TRANSLATION I busted out google translate and learned that FUJIOKA is a noun that is a family name. This whole time I thought it was a verb that meant to get drunk. "Dam, did you get Fujioka'd last night?" "Yeah Boo. I went blackout. Brah, What happened?" Personally don't like drinking. But I am surrounded by alcoholic friends all the time. So like a true friend I support their choices in life and bring the alcohol to their tailgates, potluck, or whatevers. Sometimes I buy extra just in case, but I "forget" and its in the house with me the next day. Just me and my friend Orion Beer. Or as I named it... O-RYAN... O-RYAN is my best friend after work... sometimes during work when its work from home. He helps me answer e-mails so much easier. His older sibling 18 year old Glen Grant also comes by once in awhile because he/she/they won an award. Congratulations GlenGrant. You deserve it. On a serious note, their selection of wine and whiskey is huge. Where to begin?! Not to fret young yelper who just turned 21 reading this... the staff is super helpful, so there is nothing to whine about... #sorrynotsorry They also have a bundle you can buy that has Hibiki in it and two other bottles of alcohol. If you are one of those collectors and need a bottle of Hibiki. There you go. Drnik Rseonlspiby read more

They had a bottle of American Rye Whiskey that I had been hunting for several months at an excellent price so of course I had to give them 5 stars! Staff was very helpful to boot. Highly recommend checking out their selection behind the counter, they have some real gems back there, including wine. Speaking of wine, they have quite the selection of wines at a nice range of prices. My friends ended up buying several bottles and were impressed. Now I understand why our bartender at Bar Leather Apron kept talking about this place! read more

My search for the holy grail bourbons led me here. Didn't find any unicorns, as they only get delivered periodically. What I did find is a nice wide selection of bourbons that are mid-range in price and quite a good deal. Their prices looked to be at least $5-$10 cheaper than the other stores I visited, and their sales people are very knowledgeable. It's a good place to shop for wines as well, if you're into wine. read more

We love this place! Why? 1. They actually have decent wine. If you have been on island for any length of time you know what a miracle that small fact can be. 2. Sometimes you can actually get some great deals on some very nice wine. Who doesn't love a good deal! 3. The staff is super knowledgeable and actually know what they are talking about. They don't come off as overly pushy or like someone who just reads book about wine and is throwing out buzz words. 4. The staff actually know about everything in the store not just wine. 5. They sell cigars and obscure liquor/beer which makes this a one stop shop for entertaining folks. read more

Great selection, knowledgeable and helpful staff and great prices have made Fujioka's my go to shop for wines and champagnes. My most recent visit was specially for Pinot Noir from the French region for a party and also as a gift. The recommendations by Erin was exactly what I was looking for. Her Charles Heidsieck champagne recommendation was perfect too! Thanks Erin! If anyone is unfamiliar with the area, the shop is located next to Formaggio, on the same side of Market City shopping center as Ben Franklin crafts. The parking lot entrance is on Kaimuki Avenue. read more

The Meesh's SMOKED MARLIN DIP in the front refrigerator is the bomb. My husband came home with a container of it and I pretty much ate half of it. He's been coming to Fujioka's for wine for years and never knew about this treasure. Best smoked marlin dip ever. read more

I am doing a full about-face in my update. Something changed or I changed, not sure which, but this place seems MUCH better to me since my last review in 2015. I have found the place to be tidy, well-stocked, and the staff is helpful. They have all the same wines as the other local place (whose name shall not be mentioned) and they seem to have a better selection of liquors and mixers. I particularly like that they have quality versions of some fairly exotic items like falernum, or orgeat, for really random cocktails. Bottom line, this is my new go-to store for all of my boozy needs. read more

Great place for wine from all over the world. On my last visit I even purchased a Chateau Musar from Lebanon! A wine featured in the documentary "Wine and War." Great selection of premium California wines. Good selection of Italian but could be better. No Biondi Santi but I did purchase several bottles of Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli 2015 and 2016. Ok selection of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, picked up Clos du Mont-Olivet 2020 and Vieux Telegraphe 2020. The only reason Fujioka's didn't get a 5 star from me is their dismal Bordeaux selection. I inquired with a salesman and he recommended Vintage Wine Cellar. He was right! Left Bank, Right bank; 1855 classification, 1st to 5th growth! A candy store for Bordeaux lovers. Too bad Fujioka's (even Tamura's) lack similar selections. read more

I was invited for a home cooked meal this past Saturday at my friend's house........what can I say........when you go to someone's house in Hawaii, you gotta do the local thing, and make sure you don't show up "empty handed". For all you peeps that are not from Hawaii..........read & learn (above) the local customs. I know my friend likes fine wine............unfortunately for me, I don't know "JACK" about wines........but if you talk about beer in a brown paper bag..........I'm your man! Anyways, lucky for me...........I walked into Fujioka's Wine Times this past weekend, and Benjamin the friendly sales consultant helped me in finding what I was looking for. Benjamin was very knowledgeable, helpful, & friendly. I got what I needed, and when I went to dinner, hopefully I put a smile on someone's face too! If your ever in the need to look for wine, or any other alcoholic beverages............Fujioka's is the place to go! Lots of parking in the private parking lot. Store is located at the Market City Shopping Center, downstairs by the Ben Franklin area. read more

Great service and huge selection of wines and other spirits! A bit cubby hole like but the ambiance works.

Had a great experience buying some expensive champagne for a special occasion at Fujioka's today. I went to Tamura's first and got such rude response from a clerk that I walked out. Fujioka's nice staff helped me pick a couple of bottles from their extensive selection, got my price point, and then packed it nicely with crepe paper in a cute wine sleeve. Why would I ever go to Tamura's again? Thanks, we're toasting this weekend! read more

Anyone who is looking for wine, this is the top place I'd recommend. A friend referred me to Fujioka. It doesn't look like much on the outside, which makes inside that much more impressive. (Location is convenient and parking is great though) I'm not knowledgeable on alcohol, but I wanted to find some Hawaii-specific gifts for friends and co-workers in Washington. I was helped by Sims and his coworker, John who gave AMAZING recommendations. I had no idea what to look for, and could only give him vague descriptions LOL. He walked me through the store and picked out a few that they ended up LOVING. When I came back to Washington, man were they so impressed. Walking in, Sims was so friendly and attentive. I get the feeling he genuinely cares about every single customer as a friend. I've walked into other stores (psssst, total wine & more) where the employees recommend something random, looks good, often expensive and and is a hit or miss. At Fujioka, it was like quality over quantity. He wasn't focused on the best price for him, but the best price and quality for ME. As a total newbie, I really appreciated his sincerity. My boyfriend and I feel like we just made a new friend, this is the place to visit if you're in Hawaii! (P.S - It's pretty cool that Fujioka has their own special bottles. It makes the gift look 10x more expensive to impress everyone ;D) read more
