mitsuwa umaimono food festival

by rameniac | 19 May 2007

Mitsuwa's Umaimono food festival is underway this weekend with representatives from all walks of Japanese cuisine, gourmet pudding, Kukuru, a venerable takoyaki octopus ball stand, and yes, even ramen in the form of Chibaki-ya! Chef Chiba-san is visiting from Tokyo just for the occasion. Famed as the innovator of the hanjuku soft boiled egg in ramen, his delicate sappari chicken and pork bone shoyu chukasoba is a taste of Tokyo in Torrance, California. For one glorious weekend at least.
