@samatchalee: Tucked in the back of a food court in Cambridge sits Tampopo, a true hidden gem run by Yasumasa Itoh (correction from the video), who’s been behind the counter for nearly 30 years. No frills, no fuss, just honest Japanese comfort food the way it’s meant to be. His katsu, croquettes, and fried mackerel have that perfect balance of crisp and care — the kind you only get from decades of repetition. #bostonfoodies #japanesefood #katsu #japanesecurry #hiddengem

It’s always amusing to see a place I’ve eaten at for decades show up as a hidden gem.
