We 💜 the many doggies that visit the Japantown Farmer's Market! But there's a possibility you will need to sit outside with your pups if too many dogs come for the last markets and we don't have enough volunteers to watch them! There will be a 20 minute limit for the Doggie Valet as well. We appreciate your understanding and see you soon!

Thank you to the Nichi Bei Foundation for featuring our beloved Shuei-Do Manju Shop!

Tom Kumamaru arrives at Shuei-Do Manju Shop in San Jose’s Japantown at 4:30 a.m. The confectionery shop co-owner of nearly 40 years begins to steam and mix the mochi in large cookers. His wife, Judy, arrives about an hour later to help.

“I love doing this because I like customers and stuff like that, and…my thing is, if I retire, I have nothing I would do,” Kumamaru said.
He added that the job “at least keeps my mind going and my body going.”

Shuei-Do Manju Shop is located at 217 E. Jackson Street in San Jose’s Japantown. They are open from Thursdays to Sundays at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Info: (408) 294-4148, [email protected], www.shueidomanjushop.com/.
