Hamura Saimin served at Hawai‘i State Capitol
Kaua‘i’s famed Hamura Saimin was served at the Hawai‘i State Capitol last week in the office of Senate Majority Leader Gary L. Hooser, 7th District Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau.
Kekaha native Mark Mararagan, Hooser’s office manager, masterminded the event. He arranged for his wife Rachelle to pick up Hamura’s famous homemade noodles from the Lihu‘e eatery and fly them to Honolulu for the special serving.
More than 165 eager participants lined up at lunchtime for a bowl of the iconic soup. The event, a fundraiser for Hawai‘i Foodbank’s 18th annual food drive, raised $500.
