Mochi Shops in the U.S. Continue the Japanese Wagashi Tradition | Eater
"A 107-year-old, family-run manju shop in Fresno’s Chinatown now operated by third-generation proprietor Lynn Ikeda, whose grandparents preserved the business through wartime incarceration and continued making mochi even in the camps. The shop retains a closely guarded family recipe and emphasizes deep ties to loyal local customers, whom the owner calls the heart of the business; she intends to keep working for as long as her health permits." - Amber Murakami-Fester
