Japantown's Legacy Restaurant Shuts Down After 44 Years.

Mums, a Japanese restaurant in Japantown, San Francisco, has closed after 44 years of operation. The restaurant was known for its shabu shabu and Japanese and American-style breakfasts. It was named a San Francisco legacy business in 2019. The restaurant's founder, Isidore Tam, who started as a dishwasher in 1981, took over ownership in 2000 and is now retiring at age 73. Japantown has also lost another longtime institution, Benkyodo Company, a 115-year-old sweet shop, last spring.
