When you step into the store, you can hear Chinese. ``I hope international students who are working hard in Japan can feel the warmth of their hometown,'' says the owner, Mr. Honglian, who serves Sichuan cuisine that recreates local flavors while keeping the spiciness to a minimum. In addition to dishes that are familiar in Japan, the menu also includes items that are hard to find, such as Kaimi Hijiko (pork elbow meat) and Hakuinton (pork tongue meat).

Lanzhou Beef Noodles, a specialty of China's Lanzhou region, is the signature menu item. The owner, Mr. Shun, who is from China and was the head chef at the popular Hyakumanben restaurant, carefully prepares each bowl of Lanzhou ramen while keeping in mind the basics of Lanzhou ramen: ``Issei, Nihaku, Sanko, Four Greens, and Five Yellows.'' Also pay attention to the dynamic noodle making process that can be seen from the kitchen window.
