Has it been a year already? Mitsuwa Marketplace is back with their annual Hokkaido Fair food festival. Regale yourself with the ramen stylings of Asameshi Maeda Honpo,
Sumire, and Santouka over the course of the next two weekends at various Mitsuwa Marketplace locations throughout the United States.
The schedule is as follows:
| Asamesh Maeda Honpo |
9/11(Thu) - 9/14(Sun) 9/18(Thu) - 9/21(Sun) |
Costa Mesa New Jersey |
| Sumire |
9/11(Thu) - 9/14(Sun) 9/18(Thu) - 9/21(Sun) |
Torrance Chicago |
| Santouka |
9/18(Thu) - 9/21(Sun) |
San Jose |
For all you Bay Area noodlers, the Mitsuwa website touts Santouka as having the
"#1 ranking in L.A." (gee, I wonder
where they got that idea? ^^) Asameshi Maeda and especially Sumire should just open permanent U.S. branches already and be done with it. The world would be a better place for sure.
these are pretty much self-explanatory, but…

Chalk it up to the Celestine Prophecy or something, but today I received
two different tips about two different ramen vending machines! I was just talking to my bud Eddie over at
Deep End Dining about these. Invasion of the ramen-dispensing robots? There's one nestled in a boba shop in the heart of Los Angeles' Koreatown. At four dollars a pop, it's apparently quite the rip-off...
