About this business

Established in 1906, Benkyodo is one of San Francisco's favorite sweet shops. Try their delicious Mochis (soft, sweet rice cakes) or their Manjus (mochi with bean paste filling). Both Mochis and Manjus are served in a number of flavors all of which can be seen on their website. They also feature a luncheonette that is a favorite among Japanese food lovers. If you want a real taste of Japanese deserts this is definitely the place to go. If the Mochis don't reveal this the lines of Japanese tourists waiting to get some will.

JTown neighborhood gem. Casual counter eats(limited menu) and my go to place for a tuna sandwich. Usually a joke is included by Bobby, one of the generational owners. Brother Ricky is the master maker behind the scenes. Often a line snakes out the door for their manju confections. Seasonal fresh strawberry is my favorite as well as the peanut butter(packed in threes on top of the counter). I make a special request when I want to put a hold on the limited availability of the Kinako D...another favorite that melts in your mout... read more
