Tonkotsu ramen (@Nantsuttei, Mitsuwa Market Place in Torrance)

This weekend (10/29-31) at Mitsuwa Market Place in Torrance, special food event was held. Tonkotsu ramen from Nantsuttei was available during the weekend.

Very oily tonkotsu soup. Thin noodle (traditional Hakata tonkotsu style).

It was just OK for me. $10.76 (including tax).
