Brian Kito, third-generation owner of Fugetsu-Do Confectionery, receives a proclamation from Eric Moon, field representative for Assemblymember Miguel Santiago, in celebration Fugetsu-Do’s 120th anniversary on June 19.
Fugetsu-Do was founded by Seiichi Kito in 1903 and the tradition of making quality mochi and manju has been handed down through the family. Fugetsu-Do and The Rafu Shimpo are the oldest businesses in Little Tokyo and both marked 120 years in operation this year.
