Health inspections
The Hawaii State Department of Health, Food Safety Branch inspects Hamura Saimin and posts a color-coded placard at the door: green (pass), yellow (conditional pass, with a follow-up inspection) or red (closed). DOH publishes results one search at a time, not in bulk, so there are none here. DOH Food Safety Branch: placards and the inspection search.
