Talk:Japanese Tea Garden (San Francisco)

Hagiwara History

I was told years ago that the Hagiwaras (who still live in San Francisco) lived on site and managed the garden and tea house until they were interned during WWII. Has anyone else ever heard this story? Ninquerinquar (talk) 21:04, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I haven't heard of that story. Do you have a source you can refer to, or this just a vague memory? NeoChrono Ryu (talk) 19:05, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Fortune Cookie

A recent article in the New York Times cites some historical research that casts a strong doubt about the fortune cookie having originated at the Tea Garden http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/dining/16fort.html. At the very most, the garden might lay claim to being the first place in America that the cookie was served. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Konky2000 (talk • contribs) 18:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
