Time Well Spent

At the International Marketplace in Waikiki
One Bay Area Japanese shopping center that we frequent is Mitsuwa Marketplace in San Jose.

At each Mitsuwa location is a Santouka restaurant, also one of our favorites.

Your humble blogger is partial to Santouka's tonkotsu ramen.

From the website (the Engrish is charming, no?):
Tonkotsu ramen, San Jose
Under the original production method, the white tonkotsu (pork bone) soup was produced from repeated trial, error, and improvements. It has a mild, gentle flavor and was dedicated it to be delicious to the last drop...

Moreover, in order to create a mild tasting soup, we have boiled pork bones for long time. When the white colored soup is complete, we do not re-boil them to protect its taste and smell.

Santouka Waikiki has the same menu
In the coming years I will be flying more often to visit family, and it's good to know that some of my preferred eateries have a branch in the Islands.

Also, note the "we have kamaaina 5% off" sign.

The time spent waiting in line for my Hawaii resident ID continues to pay off.
