Little Tokyo in Los Angeles occupies a fairly small area, but it is still fun area to browse and explore.
I think this was our first time buying pastries at Cafe Dulce. After this visit, this place will be a must stop anytime we are in the vicinity!
We tried the famed Green Tea Donut.
I am pretty much a fan of anything with vanilla custard. Yum!!
We also tried the Green Tea Roti, which was described as being filled with melted buttercream. It has a light cake-ish texture, and is hollow inside. I did not feel as guilty eating this one-ha! The matcha flavor came through nicely in both. Definitely worth a try!
We picked up a quick lunch to go from Nijiya Market. I think k could live off of onigiri.
D artfully divided the ginger onto his spicy tuna roll, so I had to take a picture.
We ended the day with fresh mochi ice cream from Mikawaya. Coconut Pineapple for D and me, Salted Caramel for k and Cookies & Cream for n. $1.50 per piece.
After our visit here, we realized that the kids have not been to Chinatown or K-town. I guess we will have to plan another trip to L.A. in the near future.
