"One of two new restaurants that debuted inside the Torrance Tokyo Central Market on Pacific Coast Highway, Pasta Stories brings Japanese-style Italian pasta to the mini food court that also boasts a ramen shop from Ginza Onodera. Pasta Stories draws recipes from chef Yoshikazu Masuda, who learned pasta at Piedmont's avant-garde Combal.Zero, going on to open Il Sogno in Fukuoka in 2005."
"The wagyu beef meat sauce spaghetti uses intensely ripe canned tomatoes with tender ground chunks of wagyu beef. There's a strong flavor of wine in the sauce, giving it a sweetness and depth that defines Japanese-style pasta. The sauce doesn't quite stick to the al dente pasta like it would in a classic Italian restaurant, mainly because the thinner, more brothy sauce pools underneath."
Pasta Stories occupies a stall inside Torrance Tokyo Central Market and offers Japanese-style Italian pasta recipes from chef Yoshikazu Masuda. Menu prices range from about $8.50 to $16.50 and dishes are prepared with careful attention to detail. The wagyu beef meat sauce spaghetti combines intensely ripe canned tomatoes and tender ground wagyu with a pronounced wine sweetness and deep umami. The thinner, brothy sauce pools beneath al dente pasta so grated Parmesan rests on top rather than melding into the sauce. The Japanese-style pasta presentation is lighter in texture but intensely flavorful. LA's heat wave increases cravings for crisp vegetables and sweet fruit, prompting searches for refreshing snacks such as summer rolls.
