A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S HOUSE SPECIAL: COOL MIN ($9.75)
According to Merriam-Webster, “haven” is defined as a place of safety, and a place offering favorable opportunities or conditions. True to its name, Shiro’s Saimin Haven provides both refuge and tasty opportunities in welcoming conditions.
With saimin bowls galore, Shiro’s offers visitors a myriad of ways to pacify appetites and moods. Having been in operation since the late ’60s, the beloved restaurant now offers more than 60 ways to enjoy saimin, whether hot or cold, including a “make your own” option.
“Shiro’s … where Saimin-making is an art and a personalized production. We use fresh, raw saimin, never precooked instant saimin, made in our own factory using special recipe handed down for three generations,” boasts the eatery’s menu.
What’s more, Shiro’s offerings also include sandwiches, “Hamburgas,” desserts, fried noodles and an array of entrees ranging from seafood and Hawaiian plates to mixed plates. Plus, the restaurant didn’t forget about the “most important meal of the day.”
Breakfast can also be enjoyed daily until noon.
The exuberant staff at Shiro’s also shares that its 50th anniversary is coming up, so be on the lookout for upcoming specials sure to please.
