SAN FRANCISCO — The day has come that patrons of the beloved Benkyodo mochi shop in San Francisco’s Japantown have been dreading for months.
As the clock has been counting down, the lines have gotten longer. On Thursday, patrons began camping out in the pre-dawn hours. “If you come and the line is past the corner of the building, then there is no point waiting,” Tammy said. “So we thought we should get here really early for the last day, just in case. A lot of other people decided to come really early.”
