Japanese American Cuisine Series Lecture/Demonstration

Third generation confectionary store owner, Brian Kito of Fugetsu-Do in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles will show visitors how to make manju or wagashi (traditional Japanese rice cakes). Although manju is originally from Japan, it has become a Japanese American tradition to serve manju on special occasions.

The business that Kito’s grandfather and father ran is the oldest one in Little Tokyo, having been established in 1903. A visit to the store will be included in the program. Members $5, non-members $9 includes Museum admission. Reservations required. Limited seating available.
