Santouka - Mitsuwa in Torrance, CA

Santouka inside Mitsuwa in Torrance, CA has a crazy line!  Fortunately the service was fast and the Ramen was delicious:


The Tokusen Toroniku Shio (at the bottom of the photo) comes with the toppings on the side and has a nice smooth broth, while the Miso Ramen (top) has a similarly smooth broth but with the added flavor of fermented soy.  The noodles were thick and held the broth well.  The narutomaki and menma added welcome texture and flavor.  It was definitely not salt forward as I had initially  thought it would be.


Personally, at Santouka I would order the Toroniku Shio again as opposed to the Miso due to the lightness of the broth and the abundance of meat.  However both were excellent and worth the wait!

Thank you Santouka for a delicious bowl, I will definitely be back!
