The Oldest Japanese American Business is a Mochi Store Called Fugetsu-Do

"Mixed inside are stories of joy and pain, tradition and racism, legacy and loss. In this intimate portrait of a sweet shop that has become a memory bank for the Japanese-American community, it's clear that the stories that line its walls could not be more relevant in today's America." The Kito family has been running Fugetsu-Do for the last four generations, and their confectionary store has been feeding the Little Tokyo LA area since 1903. The documentary follows Brian Kito and shares his family's multi-generational Japanese American experience.
