Five Items From Fugetsudo


Fugetsu-Do has been a family owned and operated confectionery store in Little Tokyo since 1903. Japanese rice cakes, more commonly known as mochi (rice cake) and manju (sweet bean-filled rice cake), are the staple. The shop, which is currently operated by Brian Kito, is located on East First Street, in the heart of the Historic District of Little Tokyo.




Mochi bits for Frozen Yogurt.

Wagashi Dorayaki is sweet beans between mini cake patties.


Kiku in Japanese means "chrysanthemum". This is a special mochi to Fugetsu-do, which includes fresh pink and white mochi surrounding a white bean center - all molded to the shape of a flower.


Fresh pink mochi filled with white bean paste. Formerly referred to as "Gyuhi" or "pink".



Mochi filled with sweet azuki (red) bean paste. This is a seasonal item, which is only available in the month of July!
