🍖 Torrance Hidden Gem: Thick-Cut Beef Tongue at Izakaya Hachi!

📍 Izakaya Hachi 1880 W Carson St, Torrance, CA 90501 📞 Make a reservation — or arrive right at 5 PM when they open! 👅 Thick-Cut Beef Tongue So tender, never chewy — absolutely puts Irvine Mitsuwa’s version to shame! Pairs perfectly with their ochazuke (tea-rice soup) — an unforgettable combo that moved me to tears 😭 🍠 Crispy Taro Ribbons A delicate, crispy taro shred appetizer — rich in flavor and texture. 🍵 Ochazuke (Soup over Rice) The broth is incredible — way more flavorful than standard dashi. A must-try! 🎃 Homemade Pumpkin Dessert Not too sweet, clearly made in-house. The macha (matcha) mochi is large, soft, and satisfying. ✅ These four dishes are must-orders! 👀 Fun fact: The place is always filled with Japanese regulars — a true stamp of authenticity! #IzakayaHachi #TorranceEats #BeefTongueLove #JapaneseIzakaya #LAFoodFinds
