Springfield restaurant has mouse poop, 'insect debris': Health dept.

Springfield-Greene County Health Department inspectors found mouse poop and "insect debris" in a Springfield kitchen for the second time in four months, according to an Oct. 6 report. Misaki, 1635 N. Glenstone Ave., was cited for having "mouse feces and insect debris" on the shelving below its sushi cooler on Oct. 6, which is a repeat priority violation, the report said. The restaurant told inspectors it is on a monthly pest control schedule. Inspectors advised the restaurant to increase cleaning frequency following pest control and to reduce clutter on the shelves below the cooler to eliminate places for pests to hide. During a previous inspection on June 24, the SGCHD inspectors noted the same issue, cited as a priority violation, and gave the restaurant with the same advice. A March 3 inspection noted that mouse poop was present in the shelves below the sushi cooler, but it was listed as a non-priority violation. The presence of mouse poop was also listed as a non-priority violation during November 2025 and August 2025 inspections. Issues found during inspections fall into either priority or non-priority violations. Priority violations impact the safety of the food, such as cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat food, improper
