Brendan and his friends started a shop in San Jose’s historic Japantown called Minasan. What began as a 3-month lease became something bigger than what they had imagined. While Brendan gives you a tour of his favorite spots around the area, hear about why it’s significant for Minasan to be part of Japantown and what they’re doing to build and nurture a community third space.
Featured spots: @shueidomanju , @tonocoffeeproject , and @minato_restaurant
