Besides its mochi and manju, Benkyo-do has a counter area where customers can order traditional American diner fare at a reasonable price.
Benkyo-do's selection of manju and mochi, made of pounded rice, have helped mark countless birthdays, holidays and milestones within the Bay Area's Japanese American community, where the desserts are an essential part of the celebration.
