Where to buy Japanese yatsuhashi?

Question

I fell in love with Japanese confectionary last year when I visited Kyoto, and I'm especially craving their local specialty 'yatsuhashi' (see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yatsuhashi) which is essentially an unbaked cookie with fruit filling. I live in the California San Francisco Bay Area; does anyone know of any Japanese store, restaurant, or bakery that happens to make these things? Or anywhere in the state of California, even?

Yatsuhashi that I can sometimes find at Uwajimaya in the rice cracker aisle Seattle

Mitsuwa is probably the biggest Japanese grocery in the region (I assume somewhere in California there is a bigger one
