HAWAII’S BEST 6/20/10 3


INTRODUCTION

It's an exciting time as we enter a new era with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. We are committed to maintaining the excellence and service of our newspaper to the community. In Hawaii, there are also many businesses and people whose quality work and dedication make this a place unlike any other. These restaurateurs, schools, retailers and service professionals exemplify the meaning of aloha, as they carry on our Islands' unique traditions. They are "Hawaii's Best." Numerous ballots were cast and counted to select the following elite roster of winners in 150 categories. We appreciate the support of our readers, whose votes continue to make "Hawaii's Best" an award sincerely chosen by the people. It is an honor for these businesses and services to be recognized by their peers, and it is our pleasure to present them as the "cream of the crop" for 2010. We hope this year's compilation of "Hawaii's Best" will serve as a great guidebook and keepsake that showcases all that the Islands have to offer. Congratulations to all the winners — thank you for all your brilliant work.

Sincerely,

J. David Kennedy Sr. Vice President / Marketing Honolulu Star-Advertiser

Glenn Zuehls Sr. Vice President / Advertising Honolulu Star-Advertiser

THEAWARD

Hawaii’s Best Awards Hawaii’s Best Awards represent what readers of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser have designated as top performers in each award category. These readers determine award winners by selecting top picks in each category and submitting their votes. As you read through this section, it’s likely you’ll recognize some award recipients, while others may be unfamiliar. However, by the time you reach the final page, you’ll likely have a better appreciation for the restaurants and nightclubs, the goods and services, the schools, activities, professionals and more that represent all that is ‘no ka oi’ in and about your islands.

Mahalo to The Honolulu Star-Advertiser readers for voting us “Best Bank” and for recognizing us in the “Best Mortgage Company” category.

Great things are happening at American Savings Bank. We appreciate the confidence you’ve placed in us, and remain committed to helping Hawaii’s people, businesses and communities prosper.

Hawaii’s purest water proud to be locally owned and operated Locally owned and operated, Hawaiian Isles Water Company is committed to purity and proud to be “Made in Hawaii.” The company uses state-of-theart equipment to process ultrapure water containing no sodium, chlorine, artificial flavors or inorganic material. Every drop goes through a rigorous seven-stage purifying process. Hawaiian rain falls gently on the Ko‘olau mountains, nurturing our lush rainforest before filtering for years through rich island soil and volcanic rock. Pumped from wells running deep into Oahu’s natural aquifer, Hawaiian Isles produces water as it was intended to be - Pure.

You can purchase Hawaii’s purest water from most of your favorite retailers. It comes in a variety of convenient bottle sizes – 500 ml, 24 oz., 1 liter, 1.5 liter and multipacks. Plastic bottles are quick chilling, a great fit for portable coolers and easy to recycle. Look for us at Foodland, Safeway, Times Supermarket, Don Quijote, Kmart, Walmart, Target, Sam’s Club and other outlets. Five-gallon containers are also available for home or office use with a variety of coolers and dispensers. Call (808) 836-0316 for more information or visit hawaiianisleswater.com.

Tamura Enterprises: A local story dating back four generations Tamura Enterprises, Inc. goes back four generations to its “roots” in Waianae, with Maketaro Tamura, starting the first store in the 1920s. The business, Tamura Superette, then transitioned to his first son, Katsuichi Tamura, who is Herbert’s dad, our current owner of Tamura Enterprises, Inc. Herbert and family, started Tamura Enterprises, Inc., in January 1995 and opened its first of six operations in June 1995, purchasing the Bigway Super Market site in Wahiawa. The rest is history, with the opening of, the Wholesale/ Warehouse Store (Wahiawa), another supermarket in Hau‘ula, and finally, the three Fine Wine & Liquor stores in Kaimuki, Aikahi Park Shopping

Tamura’s newest Fine Wine & Liquor store in Aiea. Center, and their newest location, in Aiea. Today, Herbert is now the Chairman of the Board, with his son Glenn, as the President, assisted by son-in-law, Miles Matsumoto, Vice President of Finance, and daughter, Linda

Izutsu, Senior Accountant. The secret to Tamura’s success has always been offering the best values to their customers whether it is in groceries, fine wines, single malt liquors, crafted beers, fine cigars or fresh poke!

Hawaii’s only all-vegetarian food store chain since 1977 Down to Earth is Hawaii’s only all-vegetarian food store chain and one of only a few in the nation. The company was started in 1977, when a group of friends in Wailuku, Maui, turned their vision into a business dedicated to improving the health of island communities through organic and natural products and a vegetarian lifestyle. “Down to Earth’s decision to sell only all-vegetarian products is not a marketing angle to make money, as being an all-vegetarian company likely reduces profits,” says Mark Fergusson, Down to Earth’s Chief Vegetarian Officer. “The single most important thing an individual can do for their health, for the environment, and for the sake of the in-

nocent animals is to adopt a vegetarian diet,” he explains. Down to Earth stores carry a variety of all-vegetarian natural and organic groceries including dairy products, local organic produce, bulk foods, vitamins and natural supplements, body care products, and household items. Its stores feature delis with a hot table and salad bars, fresh juices and smoothies, a made-to-order sandwich menu, fresh grab-and-go options and a wide variety of eggless desserts made daily.
