À quoi s'attendre
1
Japantown
While there are many great restaurants, there’s just so much more to Japantown than ramen and sushi. There are stories here that so many don’t know - stories you might never know unless you were part of the community.
2
Benkyodo
Benkyodo is one of only three traditional Japanese manju makers remaining in the US. The others are in each of the other two remaining Japantowns in Los Angeles and San Jose. Manju is a traditional Japanese confection, traditionally filled with sweet bean paste and wrapped with mochi, a glutinous rice that is pounded down into a sticky, gooey, delicious mass.
3
Fillmore Street
Bop City at 1712 Fillmore Street became the place to play after hours. Anyone who was anyone in jazz played here: John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis and Duke Ellington to name a few. In the 1940’s San Francisco’s black community grew immensely and Fillmore Street was dubbed the Harlem of the West.

Quartier japonais
Bien qu'il existe de nombreux excellents restaurants, il y a tellement plus à Japantown que des ramen et des sushis. Il y a des histoires ici que beaucoup ne connaissent pas - des histoires que vous ne sauriez peut-être jamais si vous ne faisiez pas partie de la communauté.
11
Benkyodo
Benkyodo est l'un des trois seuls fabricants de manju japonais traditionnels restant aux États-Unis. Les autres se trouvent dans chacun des deux autres Japantowns restants à Los Angeles et San Jose. Le manju est une confection japonaise traditionnelle, traditionnellement remplie de pâte de haricots sucrés et enveloppée de mochi, un riz gluant qui est pilé en une masse collante, gluante et délicieuse.
12
Rue Fillmore
Bop City au 1712 Fillmore Street est devenu l'endroit où jouer après les heures. Quiconque était n'importe qui dans le jazz a joué ici : John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis et Duke Ellington pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. Dans les années 1940, la communauté noire de San Francisco s'est énormément développée et Fillmore Street a été surnommée le Harlem de l'Ouest.

I know my grandparents, my father (he was 6) and his younger brother lived in San Francisco before they were interned, first at Tanforan horse track and then Topaz, Utah. I know Japantown is no where near as large as it was before WWII so the odds that I walked anywhere where my grandparents would have are slim, save perhaps the gate next to the Japanese Language School. Apparently through this gate was a location where Japanese reported for internment. I couldn't help but wonder if this was the one place where my family also stood those many decades ago. The author/narrator of the two did an excellent job. All of the sites she spoke about are still in existence. It was almost surreal to be standing in so many places of history, surrounded by many people who were oblivious as to the life and lives that preceded their own presence. This tour was fascinating. I highly recommend it for anyone.

Narrator is very easy to listen to and felt like she was with me. Paced perfectly. Very informative, I will definately try other tours in the series if they are all this good
