Fujiya

In 1977, Shigeru Hirai opened the first Fujiya store in old Japantown, Vancouver. His goal is for everyone to enjoy Japanese food—whether on the go or prepared at home. After opening the first store, Fujiya expanded with a store in Richmond in 1989 and Victoria in 1991. It has taken second place in the Tasting Victoria Restaurant Awards for the second time in a row. Victorians love Fujiya to grab sushi on the go and have it at home.
