Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming in this week’s Food section: Our Find of the Week is Ramen Yamadaya in Torrance:
Tonkotsu is the heart of the matter at Ramen Yamadaya, an unassuming little ramen shop in Torrance squeezed between a skate shop and the 405 Freeway. Proper tonkotsu broth is made by simmering pork bones for the better part of the day, and the result is a lush, intensified, liquefied pork. A good tonkotsu broth feels like a crushed velvet smoothie.Yamadaya’s tonkotsu broth looks promising: cloudy, dense with porky particulate. A first sip doesn’t disappoint, revealing a sensuous version of tonkotsu broth -- almost fuzzy, like drinking a pork Snuggie.
