On December 31, 2016, we enjoyed Japanese bento lunch at Kaita Restaurant in Japantown in San Jose. We
bought some mochi in a Japanese desert shop, then we came to visit the Japanese Friendship Garden in San
Jose. Japantown is the portion of San Jose, California bounded by First Street to the west, 8th Street to the
east, Empire Street to the south and Taylor Street to the north; it is just north of Downtown San Jose.
