What a fantastic documentary short! This gives us a window into the tireless effort that is required to run a "small business." I found it amusing that Sharlene's official job title read, "Social Media Manager/Graphic Designer," but all of her Other Duties As Assigned included loading up all of the 25# bags of (proprietary formula) rice flour needed for the day, mixing the "wet stuff" in preparation for the next day, prepping the dough, lugging the heavy box of black sesame ("...the gold") and heaving it up onto its top perch in the storeroom, preparing the fruit glazes including the black sesame glaze (from scratch!), wrapping her fingers to protect them from burning when dropping the hot product onto the glaze (a bit of wisdom which could only have been learned from a prior bad experience), expertly glazing each donut without being heavy-handed about it (and making them less than perfect), and oh - in addition to all of this minute-to-minute activity - she then constructs and trouble-shoots their online ordering system...probably while at home, at night, before getting some much-needed sleep. It made me tired just writing it all down. But Sharlene would be the first one to tell me that everything she does is also done by each of the MoDo team members - including my son, Daniel. I'm so happy that the film shows that all of their hard work and dedication to producing the perfect mochi donut has not only won over the San Jose community but has brought them success in SoCal, too (Irvine and Torrance). As the film points out, it all began with the first pop-up event in San Jose in 2018. It was important for them to open their first stand-alone store in the community where their success on the Mainland was first recognized. Thank you, San Jose! And mahalo plenty, ninjason, for this terrific documentary.

So sad to hear that all of the Modo Hawaii locations have closed, truly were my favorite mochi donuts!!
