Uwajimaya has been open in the Seattle area for 95 years. There are currently four locations (Bellevue, Renton, and Seattle in WA and Beaverton in OR). I visited the Seattle location which is located in the International District at 600 5th Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98104
Thank you to the folks at Uwajimaya for letting me film and cook in their store, as well as to Alfredo, their social media manager who operated the hand-held camera for this video shoot.
