What should you do in Japantown, that compact rectangle of all things Japanese, wedged between Haight Ashbury, Fillmore and the Tenderloin? Well, if you're the Chesslers, you have three Taiyaka ice cream cones, filled with Matcha or Black Sesame ice cream, and maybe a little nutella sauce and poky sticks all nestled in a waffle cone shaped like a fish. And you have those cones, dripping a bit, by the five story concrete pagoda (a gift from Osaka) in the Peace Plaza, on a sunny day in June. You do this after enjoying a delectable Japanese meal (sushi, ramen, Udon, etc.) at the Kui Shin Bo Shushi Bar and Restaurant, to celebrate Steven's birthday.
And if you're Betsy, you fit in a little shopping. Some vintage kimono fabric and painted porcelein bowls from Asakichi in the West Mall, and a build-your-own cute paper puppy kit from the origami store in Buchanan square.
