"No stroll through J-Town is complete without stopping at Shuei-do Manju Shop, started in 1952 and one of the last manju shops left in California. They specialize in manju and mochi, selling 700 to 2,000 soft, chewy confections every day; current owners Tom and Judy Kumamaru still make everything by hand and offer a large selection of regular and seasonal flavors as well as filled varieties using azuki (red) or lima (white) bean paste—note their very specific hours." - Elaine Wu
