How LA Eats 2

Gardena

61 years feeding LA

All proceeds of the sales of these aprons will go directly to feeding the volunteers, families, and recipients at No Us Without You, a 501(c)3 non-profit providing food security to over 1,600 of the most disenfranchised and vulnerable hospitality workers affected by the pandemic. Every week they provide pantry essentials and fresh produce to back-of-house staff such as dishwashers, line, and prep cooks.

Since 1960 the Fujita family of Gardena has been hand-crafting the best mochi in the country. After taking over for their parents who started the business, brothers Kaz & Yuki get up before sunrise to make a variety of mochi and manju fresh every day. And when they sell out, that’s it for the day. The Fujita brothers are upholding an age-old confectionary tradition that only a handful in the U.S. are continuing.
