Dulces Japoneses En San Francisco Cerca De Mi

C: Day 1 we couldn't get any, day 2 we were there at 7am and we go to the doors at 1230pm. Please expect a 5 hour wait and if you lined up after 8am, your chances are slim. Is it worth it, eff yes!This is a staple, a masterpiece, true genius. They close March 31 and I'm broken hearted but wish them a lovely retirement.Your mochi lives on in our hearts.

Punkie Nelson: I have been to your store many times with my parents when I was young. When my parents got older we would drive them to get our favorites—manju and an pan—and always something extra. After my parents passed away, I continued to get to Benkyodo’s whenever I could. It’s sad for me to realize that today would be my last visit and purchase. I will truly miss you, but at the same time, I sincerely wish you a long and happy retirement! You deserve it!💕🐸💕

Souriya Hounthavong: If you know you know hands down this is one of the best mochi spots in Japan town. After 115 years of detecting their love into each delightful mochi ball packed full of traditional and fresh seasonal ingredients. It's sad to say they are finally closing their doors. Hopefully one day we'll be lucky enough that they'll find a family member who is honorable to carry on their century-old family tradition once more.🤞In till then may their legacy live on! Cheers! Happy retirement Benkoyo-do✌

Stephen Inoue: Go NOW. Last day is March 31, 2020. Sad day for SF Japantown.

Amy Chen: Sad to see this place close and wish them the best on their retirement!For anyone looking to make a trip before they close at the end of this month, try to make it there early! We showed up at 8:30 and the line was almost to the end of the block. Ended up getting to the front of the line at ~12:30, and then placed an order to pick up at 1:00pm

Megan Lee: . If you go on a Friday or Saturday, plan to be there before 7:30 AM

Mei Fu Lee: . You constantly see them cycling trays of mochi. They limited 3 of each fruit mochi but you can get as many of the other types. I tried to order at least two of each they had. The fruit

Kevin Geng: are $2 each, and the rest are $1.65 each, from what I can tell. The selection varies based on the time of day.

Brian Adam: I have to give the lines 5 stars out of 5. I came here on 2/18/22, and it was impeccable. The line went out past the Nihonmachi Little Friends and slowly creeped up the street.Famously, since Benkyodo is retiring, you will hear people remark that it is closing forever very soon, and that the lines are always very long, or asking whether this is the line for the mochi, or whether it is worth it.I think the line got shorter from people quitting faster than people were actually served. What's that all about? After an hour of waiting like a chump, the staff said they wouldn't have anymore left for us.I came back on Saturday morning 2/19/22, and the line went even farther --- double the length of what it was the previous day.To quote the staff: "The lines are always terrible on Friday and Saturday. Come on the weekday."

SF2TOKYO: Best Mochi outside of Japan. It's too bad it's closing down.

Danielle O: Good spot. Food a four, service and ambiance a five. I'll be sad when it's gone. Best mochi I've had since LA and Japan.

Nixon Caparas: Another must-visit spot when you're in SF Japantown. Since my first visit, it's become a regular stop, and I consistently end up making a purchase. Even as someone who typically only enjoys mochi ice cream and isn't a fan of regular mochi, the offerings here are too tempting to resist.We sampled the chocolate mochi in-store, and after they generously allowed us to try a whole piece, we were impressed. Although we enjoyed that flavor, we ultimately chose the strawberry mochi, which turned out to be exceptional. The sweetness was perfectly balanced, neither overwhelming nor bland. It's an ideal place to pick up gifts for your travels or simply treat yourself. The selection includes candies, savory senbei/rice cracker snacks, mochi, teas, cookies, and more. Personally, my favorites to indulge in are the Harajuku Mochi Chocolates in matcha and strawberry flavors!Moreover, they offer intriguing collaboration items featuring series like Demon Slayer and characters like Hello Kitty and Kumamon. Each item is elegantly packaged and ready to be presented straight from the shop.It's worth noting that many items here are directly imported from Japan, offering a unique selection beyond what you'd find in the snacks/gift section at places like Tokyo Central, Nijiya, Mitsuwa, etc. Whether you're a fan of Japanese sweets and snacks or someone who enjoys trying new and different things, a visit here is highly recommended! I'll definitely be returning for their mochi.Their store is located within Japan Center West Mall. If you spot the prominent signage outside, simply proceed straight in, and you'll quickly find their store.

Sebastian Rodriguez: Excellent option for a unique souvenir and to surprise.

Jianqi Chen: highly recommend. Went today the customer service is awesome will definitely come back

Gamer 2010: yummy

Alex Vinogradov: Great selections

Crystal Chu: and more than willing to guide me around the store, as well as share a few samples :

Trang Nguyen: was really good. The cream was cold like ice cream, might not travel well.

Roberto Aguilar: Didnt try, bc they ran out by 1:00 pmOn a wednesday.So call ahead or place an order to pick up, to double make sure you're able to get jt. Read others were able to get it but, think it was late morning rather than the afternoon.I was confused where it was but it's inside a grocery store.

Cal: coffee cake is so good, they run out though so go earlyRecommended dishes Coffee Crunch Cake Slice …

GG: The market has some good snacks too

Rhonda Jones: , they only had 2 slices left. They lady began to apologize, and I told her not to worry about it... we'll just take both of whatever that is! See pics - one chocolate roll and the other some sort of "crunch cake" per the IG post I saw. Both were phenomenal!!! Delicate cake with lovely flavors and the perfect amount of sweetness! They are a small Japanese bakery inside of a Japanese grocery store. I'm so happy to know about them and will definitely visit again during my next trip to San Francisco. Just know, I have a small bakery in North Carolina and I'm very particular about dessert! This was ahhh-mazing!

Dayna Patchouli: . The light and delicate crumb of the cake is simple and grasps the candy with the whipped cream layers in-between.$6 is perfectly priced. It's just enough to share for 2 if you're not a sweet tooth

Kishor Bhat: Tasty coffee crunch cake and mocha swiss roll!

Boss Nate Nunta: Swedish princess cake is insanely good. I could eat the entire cake to myself.Food: 5/5Recommended dishes Swedish Princess Cake …

Mikaila Smith: FYI they are closed until January 15th

Sara Hoban: 10/10 scharfenberger chocolate cake

Allison Dermont: Hidden gem in Hayes Valley! Delicious cakes and the girl who works there was very helpful.

Marco Montalto Monella: I liked the macaroons from this shop. They were fresh, crispy, and chewy, with a variety of flavors to choose from 🍬The best part was the happy hour deal, where you can get 50% off on all macaroons from 5pm to 6pm every day. That's a great offer! The location was also convenient, near Hayes and close to many other shops 🚶🏻‍♂️This place is worth a try for macaroon lovers. As the joke goes, "Quelle est la différence entre un bonbon et un gâteau? Le bonbon est sucré, le gâteau est sucrant" 🇫🇷

Christiaan Khurana: The best birthday cake I’ve ever had! Perfect buttercream! Not too sweet, great texture, nice and moist dough but not too heavy, so just perfect!

Lukasz Zbylut: Good desserts and chocolate

Phil L: this time we didnt get anything but will be back

Daisy Munoz: First time and very impressed. Small, unassuming and tucked away on 15th St., it's a nice surprise north of 16th bart. Fantastic 'Summer Blues' cake... light whipped cream, bursting berries and wonderful bite from the butter crust. I would place this on par to Craftsman and wolves and tartine, in terms of quality and presentation control. Folks who don't eat cake or tarts, can find sorbet and truffles.

Pam: So in love with this place. Theirs handcrafted are amazing. Lovely and tasty desserts. Good ingredients and lot of love in details.Everything looks great. I would like to try all of them.Affogato is super cute. I’ll be back there real soon.

Elizabeth Orbison: We knew and walked by several times and thought to get something. We stopped and got a treat for our godfather. He loved every bite! We’ll be back again!

Alice Hou: My visit to Sixth Course in San Francisco was a delightful experience, highlighted by their incredible Chocolate Choux tart. This dessert is a true masterpiece, captivating both visually and in flavor. The tart's appearance is beautiful, and every bite is a symphony of chocolate aromas that tantalize the senses.The Chocolate Choux tart at Sixth Course is a treat that chocolate enthusiasts will adore. Its perfect balance of sweetness and intensity creates a deeply satisfying experience. The smooth and rich chocolate filling, nestled within a delicate and buttery pastry, delivers pure decadence with each bite.

el lez: Gia’s energy is attentive, pleasant, and humble. I can taste the love for what they do at Sixth Course in each dessert I’ve purchased. Sixth Course is a warm and inviting place for me, my partner, and our loved ones to enjoy the best desserts we’ve ever had. They’re never too rich, always balanced, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients they use. Living in the city you can always expect to pay a little more for food and desserts but it’s not always worth it. However that is NOT the case here because these treats are worth every penny. This is my new favorite way to spoil myself. Thank you so much Gia and everyone at Sixth Course for your great work!! It’s not just the superlative desserts, it’s the way they treat people!! Coming back again tomorrow for round 3!!

Jeff Ho: left. Excellent shrimp chips selection as well as other things like packaged ramen and alcohol. They don't have the Strong Zero 9% alcoholic drinks that I like though. I haven't been able to find that here in America.

Jade Pouncy-Beecher: Mu favorite place to visit when I am in town.

John Martin-Rutherford: Amazing variety of wonderful things. My mind was racing!!!

James Leahy: Food is all 1st rate.Parking is a minefield of difficult to read signs. Got two parking tickets within 4 minutes with our two visits. It’s as if parking police are waiting in hiding for you to stop and pounce. We spent $180 on two tickets. We’ll never stop here again. Instead, we’ll drop someone off.Recommendation: don’t even stop in a red or yellow area to drop someone off or you’ll get pounced on by parking zealots who write tickets faster than you can roll your window down.

Joy Smith: .Highly recommend

Anne Margaret White: Super fun stop while visiting the Ferry Building. We picked a few packaged candies because they looked so cute and also got a few macarons. Very interesting that they make all the same cookie and just change the filling. All our flavors were good, but didn't stand apart from each other as much as I was used to. Super cute pink bag made carrying our treats back that much more fun!

Janie B-C: This place has a nice selection cookies and sweets. It's a very cute and charming place and the staff was very friendly.

Smriti Sekhar: Delicious mint chip ice cream sandwich! I like that you can mix and match the cookies for the top and the bottom. Highly recommended!

Salma Bakr: Love the baked bear, especially their brownie sandwich. This location has very friendly service.

hjklasdfcxz: Amazing desserts, and the person working around 6PM was very nice, helpful, and professional
