I'm still crying over Hannosuke, but if I can't have that, Carlos Jr will have to do.
No more trekking to old Torrance - there's a new stall at Mitsuwa Del Amo, and business is booming.
It's a wait so put your order in ASAP, and collect your bowl of magically never-soggy Shrimp Tempura. It comes with four fresh, sweet shrimps as well as a kakiage with tender little bay scallop dots. Kabocha is a sweet reprieve, seaweed is umami, and shishito pepper adds some green. I added maitake mushrooms too. Not necessary but no regrets. Finish the tempura then smear the gooey egg all over all that rice and you'll be surprised at how fast you see the bottom of that bowl.
I'll admit, my first visit to the old Torrance location wasn't the best, but I really enjoyed the Mitsuwa one this time around. The tempura is truly good, and it's at worst tied for best in town. I do wish they'd change their cheesy name, but that alone won't stop me from giving them all my compliments.
