mitsuwa marketplace’s kyushu & okinawa fair 2009
For those of you lucky enough to be living near a Mitsuwa Marketplace in the States, it's time once again for their Kyushu & Okinawa Fair. Ramen-wise, tonkotsu ramen specialist Tatsunoya (龍の家) from Kurume will be setting up shop 7/16 - 7/19 in Torrance and 7/23 - 7/26 in New Jersey. There's also Yamachan Nagasaki Sara Udon and Okinawa Soba doing the rounds at several locations. I'm lazy in this heat; check their schedule for details.
Tatsunoya is really good! I forgot to ask for katamen, but the broth is awesome, definitely a couple notches above Asa. If I wasn’t already busy Friday and Saturday, I’d go back every day.
Kikuya had pics of Iron Chef Sakai at their stand. Hee.
