Authentic Mochi in Sacramento
Osaka-Ya
- 📍 Southside Park
- Website: https://osakaya-wagashi.com/
- Osaka-Ya Facebook Page
Osaka-Ya is the only remaining Japanese mochi shop in Sacramento. The dense, super soft cakes take a lot of work and come in different flavors to suit every palate. The business has been in the family for six generations. The shop sells other delicious treats too, like shaved ice in the summer.
Dixie brings Maddy to Osaka-Ya for the first time and together they learn how to make authentic mochi.
Vintage Thrift Stores in Sacramento
TRUE
- 📍 Downtown
- Website: https://www.weaveinc.org/true
- WEAVE Facebook Page
TRUE, which stands for Totally Recycled Urban Exchange, is a WEAVEWorks Boutique. WEAVE is a nonprofit that provides services and support to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. All items — from unique clothing and jewelry to antique pieces — are donated and the proceeds go to WEAVE.
Maddy and Dixie challenge each other to hunt through the store and find the perfect outfit for one another.
The Best Tamales in Sacramento
Yolanda’s Tamales
Yolanda’ Tamales is the first tamale food truck in Sacramento. The business is named after co-owner Andres Yanez’s mother, Yolanda. She started selling tamales out of her van in Los Angeles in 1988 and moved to Sacramento in 1996. The food truck has a permanent address, but the truck goes to a ton of events.
Watch Maddy and Dixie learn how to make delicious tamales.
