 Sake It Baby |
Jackson Street Between 4th and 7th Streets San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 94112 United States +1 408 294 2505 http://www.sakesanjose.com |
Every May the Yu-Ai Kai Senior Community Center in San Jose hosts this Sake tasting fest. The event is held at various restaurants and businesses across Japantown. Sakes from Japan as well as the U.S. such as the Daiginjo, Ginjo and Junmai grades of premium sake are available for tasting during the event. The variety of Sakes will literally make your head spin. This is one of those events that shouldn't be missed while you are in the city. But be prepared to leave the place with either a splitting headache or a major high. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Everything is here: arts and crafts, produce, clothing, furniture, tires, bicycles, music, electronics, collectibles, shops, markets, barbecues or knick-knacks. It is a great destination for the bargain hunter. Admission is free, but parking is $5 on weekends and $1 on weekdays. Some vendors may accept credit cards. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Remembering the ancestors |
640 North Fifth Street San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 95112 United States +1 408 293 9292 http://www.sjbetsuin.com/ |
Over a weekend in summer, Japantown comes alive to the beats of Taiko drummers, as they pound their way along the streets. Organized by the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin, the free festival is celebrated to remember the dead and to reconnect with their spirits. Cultural and religious tradition is at its peak here, with music, dress, food and ritual coming together in the presence of colorful lanterns on a Japanese dance pavilion. Expect to see some beautiful kimonos and Hapi coats on more than 700 Bon Odori dancers who move to the music of the Chidori Band of San Jose. Food booths include sushi, meats and desserts from both America and Japan, while bingo, game stalls and a raffle provide other entertainment. The "Buddhism 101" workshop offers opportunities for locals to learn about the faith, at the Jose Buddhist Temple, as part of the celebrations. Review © 2007, Wcities |
