1. "Do you LOVE Manju? Then this is the place to go! I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert on this subject. Actually, I consider myself a kind of honorary Asian. This little tea cake shop is a super South Bay gem! It’s run by a husband and wife team who put in long, hard hours to produce some of the sweetest sweets around. Their Manju are delicious but what really shines are their Nerikiri. Melt-in-your-mouth and super delicate white bean confections made almost expressly for traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony (Chado). Made entirely by hand, a true labor-of-love, Nerikiri come in a variety of shapes and colors… my favorite is the Crane. You won’t find Nerikiri in the glass case with all the other more lowly Manju either - you’ve got to special order the stuff. And it’s worth it! I think you have to order a minimum of 10 pieces, but it could be more. They run about $1.75/each The shop sells all kinds of other Japanese goodies as well including: (home-made) Mizu Yokan, Sembe, teas, soft drinks, candies and gift items."³
2. "Great service and Ana V. was the one who helped me, she was super friendly… im a very satisfied customer."¹
3. "Best mochi on this side of the Pacific!! The owners are incredibly kind and friendly (be sure to schedule a bit of extra time to have a nice conversation). Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything you get there. They used to have more selection but they will be retiring soon and are teaching a new young person to take over."¹
