"Benkyodo, which serves handmade mochi and manjus, is closing for good this month. March 31 is the shop’s last day, as third-generation co-owners and brothers Bobby Okamura and Ricky Okamura retire. Losing Benkyodo feels like 'yet another piece of this important Japanese American story vanishing from the quickly transforming, gentrifying landscape of San Francisco,' Carter says. 'Benkyodo is more than a confectionary store.'" - ByMomo Chang
