Their reservations line is (0571) 8788 8777 (I'm guessing that you either speak Chinese or can ask a Chinese friend to help you).

I use camelia oil now and then in my cooking and I am growing more and more accustomed to the taste and character of the oil in my food. I would really like to visit the place that you wrote about in the FT article. I live in Suzhou and would like to make a weekend trip out to Hangzhou and buy/sample some of the oils. Can you please help me or put me in contact with them? Hi Fuchsia

It is pure vinegar, except is has Red dye #2, good for Dan Dan Noodles! Favorite vinegar I found in Hawaii at Shirokiya’s is Persimmon Vinegar

And, I've never met anyone who likes Kikoman. Tamari sauce, I hear, is a bit different (if made traditionally). It is the runoff from the process of making miso. I guess like marmite is the leftover product from the making of beer. I love having a wide variety of soy here and it makes a huge difference in my cooking. I wish I could get some of the nicer products from China. A high quality vinegar would be nice! Can't imagine the sesame oils. Mmmmmmm.

I so very wish a could find a place on the internet where I could get artisan chinese products or at least above 'factory' level. Is there not enough in China Fuchsia?

I smile reading this post! I know is very good Italian wines (I'm Italian infact!). Near Turin, where I live, in a little town called ASTI, and in the "LANGHE", there are vineyards that produce very very delicious wine! if you come in Italy, I will be happy to point you to places where good wine is produced and where the landscapes seem to dream! bye... ..
