Today we're exploring LA's other Japantown: Sawtelle! This isn't Little Tokyo. Join me for a complete walking tour of Sawtelle Boulevard, a neighborhood near Santa Monica packed with some of the best Japanese and Asian food in Los Angeles. I'll show you all the famous restaurants, cool shops, dessert spots, and even some food-delivering robots. Finally, I'll take you to my single favorite place to eat in all of Sawtelle—Tsujita—for a bowl of their famous tsukemen (dipping noodles), followed by some incredible Hokkaido milk ice cream from Indigo Cow. 🍜 WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THIS TOUR: In this video, we walk the entire Sawtelle Boulevard strip, checking out all the food and shops. You'll see: Famous ramen shops like Tsujita (and its Annex), Killer Noodle, Tatsu, and Daikokuya. Iconic chains like Marugame Udon, Coco Ichibanya (curry), and Kura Revolving Sushi. The brand new Gindaco (Takoyaki) location. Unique dessert spots like Lady M (crepe cakes), Beard Papa's (cream puffs), Wanderlust, and Indigo Cow (Hokkaido soft serve). High-tech sightings, including Coco food-delivery robots and a Waymo self-driving car! Japanese shops like the Daiso ($ store), Nijiya Supermarket, and the Gashapon capsule toy store. ✅ You might enjoy watching more of my Southern California travel series: 🕒 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro: Sawtelle vs. Little Tokyo 0:32 Lady M Crepe Cakes 1:07 Coco Ichibanya (Japanese Curry) 1:30 Food Delivery Robots!
