Discussed the exact steps of dishwashing and sanitizing with staff.
→If the operator can not maintain the process, operator was advised of consequences.
→Changin to single-use disposable customer utensils.

If can not be fixed, a correcting order may be issued and further enforcement may be considered.

*Defrosting sushi rice at room temperature observed. As the rice is measure at pH 4.0 - 4.5. It is not considered potentially hazardous.
However, it si a good practice to thaw/defrost all foods outside of the danger zone (5 59°C).

*Observed "deep fry" batter stored at room temperature after use. Appear to be re-using the same batter. The utensil and the left-over batter can not be re-used when it is being stored without temperature control.
