✨ InitialSD — Back for Year Two! ✨

Step into a night in Showa-era Japan right here in San Diego. InitialSD returns for its 2nd annual celebration of Japanese culture, blending food, cars, music, and art into one unforgettable experience.

🚗 Vintage JDM Legends
Get up close with rare RHD Japanese vehicles from the 1960s–1980s, showcased inside the iconic warehouse of Analog&Grit, San Diego’s premier private collector car club.

🎶 All-Vinyl DJ Sets
Live DJs @nishikaze.citynights and @jacetheflyingace spinning Japanese City Pop, Funk, and Soul from the ’70s–’80s on a custom made 1984 Toyota Hachiroku DJ Booth — deep cuts and classics, all on vinyl.

🍜🍺 Taste of Japan
Japanese food pop-ups, beer, cocktails, and more — plus local Japanese artists and traditional Japanese dance performances throughout the night.

This is more than an event — it’s a fully immersive cultural experience inspired by a night out in Tokyo.

📩 Want to be part of it?
