It’s the season of giving and gathering with loved ones. Whether you’re sending omiyage to loved ones on the mainland or just looking for something to give to coworkers or friends, pick up holiday treats from the Kawamoto Store in Hilo, HI, to celebrate the season. The following gift ideas are sure to please everyone on your list.

The Kawamoto Store’s Top 3 Holiday Treats

1. Cookies

Cookies are a staple around the holidays, and you’ll find a wide selection at the Kawamoto Store. Whether you go with traditional flavors like chocolate chip and peanut butter or something more unusual like the zebra with white chocolate chips or the orange crisp, these cookies will delight those with a sweet tooth. Give the cookies by themselves as omiyage or pack them up as part of a foodie gift basket. 

2. Pies

The dessert of the last quarter of the year is undoubtedly pie. With their size and range of flavors, they’re the best option to share at potlucks and parties. The Kawamoto Store’s homemade pies are made fresh. Whether you go with one of their strawberry, chocolate, or blueberry cream pies or the more traditional apple or pumpkin pies, you’ll be able to taste the difference in one bite.

3. Something Savory

Some people aren’t interested in sweets. If your loved ones fit into this category, go outside the box with your omiyage. The Kawamoto Store makes Portuguese pickles, takuan, and other savory flavors that will stand out among all the holiday sweets.

Whether you’re looking for the addition for your family’s holiday potluck or you need omiyage, head to the Kawamoto Store. For more than 70 years, they’ve been the go-to destination for locals to pick up delicious Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino food as well as omiyage.
