the magazines weren't.
Hobby Japan "9" (September), 980 yen, but they charge just over $11
and the mangas with J-idols on the covers were just over $5 each(i got two today). In japan this all would be maybe under 1650 yen or about $15. :bonk:
but they have the best selection of mag's/manga/food/snacks/drinks - Mitsuwa
Dinner = A medium size bowl of Progresso Chicken Soup. On my big plate was a little bit of Mash Potato, two Pork Sirloin, and one garlic bread. Then had a plate of salad. Yummy and I'm full :woot: :victory:

that is a lot of food, and a good mixture of cultures. A bit of italian, with american.
my mom cooked dinner for us, chinese noodles, and ate my shrimp onigiri i got earlier from Mitsuwa. :bonk:

Nope.
There's the "cafe" which is adjecent to the main bakery on Western Ave. off the 405, and there's the main restaurant on Sepulveda Blvd. between Crenshaw and Hawthorne.
Honestly, the food and quantity of food is better at The Loft.
yea, had some good sashimi eh? had that yesterday at Honda Ya. good stuff eh? :thumbsup: so, dinner was good then. sugoi desu.

It's just unfiltered sake, so it's sorta milky in color... You need to shake the bottle before serving... It tastes sweeter than regular clear, filtered sake. :)
oh, that is where the Kings Hawaiian was at...
where's the loft at?
it is similar to L&L's
The Loft is on Hawthorne just south of Lomita Blvd.

Never been to L&L's, so I dunno. :headscratch:
don't think i have been to the Loft, but L&L is not bad hawaiian food, heavy on the starchy foods, rice, potato salad, beef, chicken, pork, but good stuff.
I haven't had that kind of sake before, tried some in Japan, small personal size sake, good stuff. milky and you have to shake the bottle before serving it? this i gotta try...what is the price of a bottle of that?

Well the restaurant stuck us for about $7.00 for a small bottle which was about 8-10 ounces... BTW, you drink it cold... We drank it on the rocks... Not bad. :D
I think I saw a large bottle (1/2 liter? more?) of the same brand (Sho Chiku Bai) at Mitsuwa for about $7-$10... Can't remember.
Black pepper crab (IT ROCKS!), vegetables, a tiny bowl of sharks fin (I felt so guilty eating the fin! :beaten:), sips of Ribena juice, Italian gelato, a bite of Turkish ice-cream, a packet of potato chips shared (I haven't touched the chips for months! Man, I miss it so much) and 2 slices of rockmelon.
Haven't had such a sumptous meal for some time already. I am still feeling full :)
