Torrance to Costa Mesa:An Umaimono Fair Crawl Part 3
Posted in Umaimono Fair on July 29th, 2008 by BB – 3 CommentsArriving at the Costa Mesa Mitsuwa shortly after 1pm, we scored parking in the underground garage and set our sights on seeking out our two remaining targets: BBQ beef tongue and shina soba. Under severe questioning, Mitsuwa staff spilled the beans: the BBQ beef tongue was no more. Bugger!
Happily, Kujiraken’s shina soba counter was still bustling with activity and more importantly, soup. In the absense of chewy tongue to share, we bought a bowl each to fill every last square inch of stomach area. Thankfully, the soup arrived scorching hot with a quarter inch of hot oil on top because we couldn’t find a seat in the entire food court! After a few minutes and triangular hawking of tables, we quickly swooped on an opening section at a high-top table.
