BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE DECEMBER 9, 2019 MUMS – HOME OF SHABU SHABU Application No.: LBR-2019-20-008 Business Name: Mums - Home of Shabu Shabu Business Address: 1800 Sutter Street District: District 5 Applicant: Isidore Tam, Owner Nomination Date: August 5, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Vallie Brown Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Mums - Home of Shabu Shabu (“Mums”) is a family-owned Japanese American restaurant located on the first floor of the Kimpton Buchanan Hotel in Japantown. The restaurant was founded in 1979 as part of a project to bring Japanese culture to San Francisco by Kintetsu Enterprises Company of Osaka, Japan. It is currently owned by former employee Isidore Tam. Over the 40 years it has been in business, Mums has remained committed to bridging Japanese and American culture through its dining space and cuisine, becoming a vital gathering place for the surrounding Japantown community. Kintetsu Enterprises Company of America was founded in San Francisco in 1961 by Kintetsu Group Holdings of Osaka, Japan. The company sought to bridge Japanese and American cultures. They began in San Francisco, which had been Osaka’s Sister City since 1957. At the time, Japantown had recently undergone redevelopment so Kintetsu brought new life to Japantown by encouraging the proliferation of Japanese businesses in the area. They opened the Kyoto Inn in 1975 and, realizing that guests needed a place to enjoy Japanese food, opened what was then called Café Mums just four years later.

  • Holy Saturday Easter Food Basket Blessing St
    Holy Saturday Easter Food Basket Blessing St. Isidore - Holy Family Blessing of food baskets will take place on Holy Saturday St. Isidore: 12pm - Holy Family: 1pm The Easter basket is an Eastern European tradition that has been adopted by families of all ethnicities and backgrounds. The basket is brought to church on Holy Saturday, and the contents are blessed. The food in the basket is consumed for breakfast or dinner on Easter Sunday. Below is a list of the traditional foods and their symbolic meanings. (You need not put all the items on the list in your basket, only the ones that you know will be eaten.) Traditional Basket Contents and Symbolism: Eggs- Dyed or plain eggs; hope, new life and Christ’s Ressurection. Butter - Often in the shape of a lamb or cross; the richness of our salvation. Bread - Jesus, the Bread of Life, given to us in the Eucharist. Wine - The gift of the Eucharist and rich blessings of Easter. Horseradish - The bidderness and harshness of the Passion of Jesus. Sausage - God’s favor and generosity. The links, or chains of death are broken. Ham, Lamb or Veal - Joy and abundance. Smoked Bakon - Overabundance of God’s mercy and generosity. Cheese - Moderation Christians should have. Candle - Christ, the Light of the World. Salt - Prosperity and justice and to remind us that we are the flavor of the earth. Sweets - The promise of eternal life and good things to come. A piece of linen cloth or a cloth with the words Christ is Risen is placed over the top of the basket.

As the end of the rigorous fast approached, people showed their joy and gratitude by taking their food, in baskets, to the church for a bless- ing on Holy Saturday. They then reserved it for eating after Easter Sunday Mass. The custom remains widespread in Eastern Eu- rope among Christians. It was brought to the Unit- ed States by the immigrants. As we celebrate the Easter feast of new life, we bless the food which sustains our physical life and our whole being. We express our joy and gratitude for the food which nourishes us.

  • Kids Time Easter Egg-Citement Theme the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
    Kids time Easter Egg-citement Theme The Resurrection of Jesus Christ Object An Easter basket with four plastic eggs. A small cross, three nails, a stone. Scripture Matthew 28:6 He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. Mark 16:6 But he *said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him. Good morning boys and girls. How many of you plan to have an Easter egg hunt today? As you can see, I have my Easter basket ready. When I was a boy, we used real eggs which we decorated ourselves. I guess some people still do that, but I think most people use plastic eggs like these. Usually, there is a piece of candy or perhaps a small toy inside. The eggs in my Easter basket are very special, because each of them will teach us something which will show us exactly what Easter really means Inside the first egg is a cross. The cross reminds me that Jesus willingly carried his cross to Calvary to die for my sins. No one told him he had to do it, he did it because he knew that was the only way that I would ever get to heaven. God loved me so much that He sent His only begotten Son so that I could have everlasting life. Inside the second egg are three nails.
