Question Where to buy Soju/Saki in SoCal?

I'm looking to buy a bottle for my folks. I want Korean or Japanese soju or cold Saki. I don't want to get the supermarket kind. I'm looking for the good stuff. I can't seem to find a store that specializes in asian liquor. Los Angeles is ideal, but I'm wiling to drive to Orange County. Any places you guys know about?

Mitsua... they're all over the place

edit: There's one in Gardena... that's the closest to you that I know of.

You can also try Marukai in Gardena, on Artesia/91 West. They have a pretty good selection of sake. As for Soju, there's some places in Koreatown that sells some good ones. I forget the names though.

Damn, Liz.... I told you to keep it low....... shhhhh~~~~~

in case if you want to go to Marukai, there is one in Gardena at the corner of Western/Artesia. However, I think you need membership card to purchase good there.

The Mitsuwa Torrance is near Western and Carson. Is Marukai a membership store?

I thought the LS430 was 'too old" from that one discussion

nop you don't have to be a member of marukai, you just pay a bit higher price than usual.
