The location does have one restroom inside for customers and plenty of seating indoors and some outdoors too. Location and restroom were very clean and staff were very friendly! I decided to try two flavors since I was only passing through and couldn't easily come back to try it again. I got two of their monthly flavors, the sweet corn and the treasure chest. The sweet corn lacked flavor, you can only get a hint of it. There were a few corn pieces mixed in, but they were few and far between, plus they didn't have a strong corn flavor either. I loved the concept but execution was disappointing. The treasure chest was very good, though I personally wished there was a more even ratio of brown butter cookie to brownie. I can't recall if I even got any brownie pieces. Flavor was excellent otherwise. The other complaint that I have is that the scoop is small. As you can see from my photo, my two scoops looked like 1 scoop. Not worth the price. I know competitors like Han**ls, where I'm a regular at, have given bigger scoops. All in all, still a great quality ice cream.

It gets very busy the wait time can be around 10 to 15 minutes sometimes but I never really mind because the place is so charming.

Kogetsu-Do Confectionery, nestled in Fresno's historic Chinatown at 920 F Street, stands as a testament to enduring Japanese culinary tradition and family heritage. Established in 1915 by Sugimatsu Ikeda and his wife Sakino, the shop has been delighting patrons with handcrafted mochi and manju for over a century. Mochi, a traditional Japanese confection made from glutinous rice flour, is known for its chewy texture and variety of fillings, such as sweet red bean paste and fresh fruits. At Kogetsu-Do, the Ikeda family has meticulously preserved their ancestral recipes, passing them down through three generations. Today, granddaughter Lynn Ikeda continues this legacy, introducing innovative flavors like fresh strawberry manju and chocolate mochi, while maintaining the authenticity of her grandfather's creations. The shop's resilience mirrors the strength of its offerings. During World War II, the Ikeda family was interned in Arkansas, entrusting the store to a Chinese family during their absence. Upon their return, they resumed operations, and the business has since remained a cornerstone of Fresno's Asian community. Visitors to Kogetsu-Do often remark on its unassuming facade, which belies the rich cultural experience within. The shop's interior, adorned with historical photographs and traditional decor, offers a nostalgic journey into the past. Patrons can savor a diverse selection of mochi and manju, each piece reflecting the craftsmanship and dedication of the Ikeda family. Seasonal offerings, such as mochi filled with fresh berries, provide a delightful surprise for both newcomers and regulars. Kogetsu-Do's commitment to quality and tradition has not gone unnoticed. In 2014, it was recognized as a Fresno landmark, cementing its place in the city's rich cultural tapestry. For those seeking an authentic taste of Japan, Kogetsu-Do Confectionery offers a rare opportunity to indulge in handcrafted treats that are seldom found outside of Japan. The shop operates Friday through Monday, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. A visit to this cherished establishment is not just a culinary delight but also a journey into a family's enduring legacy and the timeless traditions they uphold. read more

I wanted to eat it there but since we went 15 min before closing, we were told it's to-go only. We weren't told that it was an extra $1.50 to get it to-go and I don't think it's fair to charge that if I didn't have an option, but I paid it.

We also appreciated that the side of mango puree and sweetened condensed milk allowed us to control the sweetness level. Each ingredient worked well together and provided both a refreshing and perfectly sweetened dessert. We ordered it to go and were provided an insulated bag ($1) that kept the bingsu nice and cold, with no melting after a 19 minute drive home. Cafe Daldal is located inside 1-800 Flowers, next to Red Robin with plenty of seating inside. Can't wait for our next visit!
