Saimin: Hawaii's Working-Class Noodle Soup | Kauai - Part 5

Saimin is a working-class noodle soup that originates from Hawaii's plantation era. Saimin can be found anywhere in Hawaii, but Hamura Saimin in Lihue is widely regarded as the holy grail, and shares the same humble, working-class origins as the noodles they serve.

Come grind Saimin anytime! Breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

We played five of the nine golf courses, sampled generational recipes, paddled a canoe, farmed our food and had a chance encounter with a Hall of Famer.

“Kauai has this deep aloha and a deep caring for all things,” says Hualani Duncan, sales manager of the Ocean Course at Hokuala. “Come as a guest and you’ll be hosted as an ohana.” Which is to say: family.

On this trip, we were educated on why sustainability matters and why a hyper-focus on the preservation of natural resources is critical to the island’s future. The main message was “malama ‘aina,” which means: Take care of the land, and it takes care of you. But on Kauai, it doesn’t stop with the land; the people also take care of one another. A concept the Hawaiians refer to as “Mālama Kauai.”

On this trip, lessons were learned. We’re honored to pass them along.
