Comments

A routine inspection was conducted, the following observations were made:
- Coolers were 4C or colder; freezer was -21C; hot holding units above 60C; thermometers present.
- High temperature dishwasher had a rinse cycle of 79C at the plate's surface, as per max/min thermometer.
- Hand sinks stocked with liquid soap, paper towels, and running hot and cold water.
- Quats ammonia disinfectant spray used, was 200ppm. Owner is thinking of using bleach as a sanitizer. Place 1 tablespoon of bleach in spray bottle and fill with warm water. Ensure to make a new solution up every morning.
- FoodSafe certified staff present.
- Foods stored properly. Foods stored in food grade containers; covered; in groups to prevent cross contamination; and 6" off the floor.
- Food handling practices done correctly. Hands washed frequently and utensils used to handle food.
- General sanitation level is good. No signs of pests.
- No expired foods in use. FIFO rules being followed.
- Homemade miso paste is being made on-site. The process entails importing soy paste from Japan, then adding Saki,Murin, and some veggies. The owner allows it to ferment at room temperature for 3-4 months. Then it is stored in the cooler until used. Unsure if this practice is safe, more research is needed and owner may be required to have product tested by an accredited laboratory.
