Chinese Tea Specialty Store

This specialty store supplies many Chinese teas imported from various parts of China. It is located 10m away from Kanteibyo temple, the symbol of Chinatown. The store has a calming atmosphere reminiscent of retro Shanghai. There is also a cafe where you can enjoy Chinese tea on the 2nd floor.

Kantei byo

When Yokohama port was opened, one Chinese man came holding Kan'u’s wooden statue and he set up a temple worshipping Kan'u. Since then residents of Yokohama Chinatown worship this temple.

Chinese restartant Tokki

6-minute walk from Ishikawa station Tonsoku men (1,300yen) is famous. Tonsoku, soup and noodles are served each in a plate and you can either mix it or eat it as it is. The soup is soy sauce based. The noodles are home made flat noodles. Tonsoku has a strong taste. If you mix those three you can taste deeper flavor. We recommend you this new style noodle. There are many other kinds of Chinese noodles.
