Event Name: 秋の旨いもの紀行
If you believe that 2012/12/21 is the end of the world, then this will be your last chance to sample some real Japanese tastes in Los Angeles without flying to Japan. This is the last gourmet Japanese food fair by the famous Mitsuwa Food Store. Several well-known popular shops from Japan will bring their “chefs-d'oeuvre“ to be showcased here in SoCal. We went there today for a sampling tour of the food galore...
仙台 竹次郎 の 仙台味噌ラーメン
“Sendai Miso Ramen” of “Sendai Takejiro”
Sendai is northern part of Japan and famous for “Sendai Miso”. “Sendai Miso” uses 100% locally grown soy beans and rice and brings rich and strong UMAMI. This full-flavored, mild ramen mixed with tonkotsu soup, fish and vegetables was really satisfying, and well worth the wait in long line.
“Beef Tongue” of “Tsukasa” from Sendai
The trickling juice of the grilled beef is irresistible! Everyone's appetite are captivated! Each bento box is $9.90 with 6 big slices of beef tongue, it is a very good value!
Sushi Seafood Bento
The seafood bento box shelf carries several types of sushi bentos: “Otaru Tachiuri”. “Umi no Shijuso”, “Kaisen Temari”, “Kani gokai maki” “Echizen Kani Meshi” (Crab Bento) of “Bansho Honten”
This is our "Conquest" today!
“Pan-fried healthy gyoza dumpling” of “Tenno Gyoza”
Croquettes of “SRM”
The Sweet Booth
"Sweet Pumpkin" of "TK North Factory"
Japanese Sweets of “Maruho Foods”
“Kita no Nama Shu” (Cream Puff) of “Bake de Arles”
“Taiyaki” of “Hokui Yonjudo no machi”.
Pure Fruit Juice Jelly
I thought they were selling fresh fruits (very misleading since I don't read Japanese) but later on realized that these are mini-fruit jellies made from 100% fruit juice. They come in several flavors: watermelon, cantelope, apple, and my favorite, peach. How do they taste? Well, half of the jellies were gone before we arrived home, that tells you something :-)
