A famous Chinese restaurant standing at Yashima where was the stage of the Genji-Heike War. A restaurant couldn't stand such a place, I thought, but a beautiful Setouch scenery spreads from here. Enjoy a little spicy original Chinese dishes that we seem to meet for the first time and made from mainly Sanuki's foodstuffs.
