A restaurant in the Shirokiya Japan Village Walk at Ala Moana Center reopened Thursday after passing a follow-up inspection by the state Health Department.

The department said in a news release Friday that Mazesoba Ono-ya corrected all pending violations and was issued a green “pass” placard and allowed to reopen Thursday.

The restaurant had previously been shut down after the Health Department said the establishment interfered with an inspection following food safety violations.

DOH officials said that a red “closed” placard was posted at Mazesoba Ono-ya after the restaurant Monday refused to cooperate when the department was conducting a follow-up inspection for eight outstanding violations. The restaurant was first cited Oct. 19, when it received a yellow “conditional pass” placard.

“Interfering with or refusal to cooperate with Department of Health regulatory staff during a food safety inspection is grounds for immediate permit suspension, and the posting of a red or closed placard,” said Peter Oshiro, Sanitation Branch program manager, in a news release. “Uncorrected critical food safety violations place customers at risk of food illness. Following food safety rules designed to prevent foodborne illness is an obligation for any business that profits from food service and sales.”
