Hamura Saimin, situated in Lihue, Kauai, is more than a restaurant; it's a living testament to the island's culinary heritage. For over half a century, this legendary establishment has been a cherished part of Kauai's history. Founded by Charles and Aiko Hamura in 1952, it started as a modest eatery with just six wooden stools where saimin, a traditional Hawaiian noodle soup, was cooked to order.
