Fried Mochi at the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival 2011

April 23rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Events, Festivals, Food / Leave A Comment

I’ve been going to the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown for years now. After the first few years, I gave up on their takoyaki. The line grew longer and longer and their takoyaki didn’t even have tako (octopus) in them! (Do they have it now, finally?) Besides, I know where else in the [...]

Grilled Red Bean Mochi at Sweets Akimune An in Shirokiya Food Court

October 16th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Hawaii, Japanese, Travels / 1 Comment

Inside the Shirokiya Food Court lies endless Japanese treats. At Sweets Akimune An, they have azuki bean paste wrapped in mochi and grilled to a crisp. I’ve never had red bean mochi like that before, and I like! Their oreo taiyaki wasn’t as good, but most likely because it wasn’t hot anymore. The same might [...]

Mochi and Manju at Osaka-Ya

December 14th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Food, Japanese, Sacramento, Travels / Leave A Comment

It seems every major city has its own mochi and manju shop, and Sacramento is no different. Unlike other places I’ve been to (Benkyodo in San Francisco, Fugetsu-Do in Los Angeles, and Hogetsu Bakery in San Diego), though, the mochi and manju from Osaka-Ya in Sacramento are huge. At $1.10 a piece and at that [...]

Must Eat Mochi and Manju at Hogetsu Bakery

December 8th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Japanese, Must Eat, San Diego, Travels / Leave A Comment

Hogetsu Bakery offers manju that I don’t usually see in places in San Francisco or Los Angeles. Everything is so pretty that its hard to decide which to pick, but I think the winners are the ones with the lima beans filling – they seem to be the prettiest. Just look at that box of [...]
