Anyone know what happened to Super Korokke?

[Chubbypanda]

Hey all,

I've had a major korokke (Japanese croquette) jonesing for the past month, but every time the fiancee and I drive by our usual dealer, Super Korokke in Costa Mesa, it's closed. Anyone know what happened there? Is the nice owner/cook on vacation?

I love that place. I really hope it'll open again soon.

Oh no. I've gone to Mitsuwa dozens of times, but never stopped in for a "korokke".

and now I never will...

It was reported here that its owner passed away last year.

No way! Really?

I did a bunch of searches and couldn't pull up any additional info. Could someone link me to the thread, an article, or something?
