Osaka-ya (snow cones, ice cream, manju, mochi), Sacramento - anyone?

[hhc]

I read about Osaka-Ya from a poster on the SF Bay Area board. Made fresh daily for 43yrs. Anyone else have experience getting their snow cones, manju, mochi? There's 65 reviews on Yelp 4.5 stars which is Great!

Sadly, the owner just passed away. I saw his obituary in the local paper last week. Hopefully the family will keep the business going.

I have been going to Osaka-ya off and on for 35 years. I am originally from Sacramento, and the neighborhood is one of my old hangouts. Osaka-ya is the real deal, very Japanese-American take on real Japanese stuff, and the staff are wonderfully kind and helpful. My wife is Japanese and when we happen to be in Sacramento she likes to go there and get old-school Japanese sweets. I am surprised that they are still in business because they are really too "hip for the room" in Sacramento.
