This video offers a rich behind-the-scenes look at Kantonsyuko Fukusue (広東酒肴 富久寿), a beloved Chinese restaurant in Itami City, Hyōgo Prefecture. Housed in a former sento (public bathhouse), the restaurant has spent the last 27 years carving out a loyal following among locals. The story unfolds through detailed coverage of the restaurant’s daily operations and family legacy, inviting viewers into the kitchen to observe the meticulous preparation that defines their cuisine.

The video begins by introducing the owner and recapping the venue’s origins, tracing its transformation from a sento into a thriving family-owned eatery. Special attention is paid to their use of water—specifically, the restaurant’s commitment to using hydrogen-enriched water for rice preparation, which is said to enhance both texture and flavor. Breakfast and lunch service staples like homemade meatballs (肉団子) as well as their trademark Mapo Tofu (麻婆豆腐) are seen in preparation, showcasing a dedication to both freshness and family tradition.

Additional footage documents the teamwork involved: the owner’s wife and mother join the operation throughout the day, and the restaurant’s innovative use of homemade gadgets—such as a custom lift—highlight the ingenuity common to many small, family-run Japanese restaurants. Customer interviews present heartfelt perspectives from patrons who have dined at Fukusue for over two decades, particularly praising dishes like the large Gomoku Don (五目丼, a classic mixed rice bowl). Special attention is given to the kitchen’s focus on hand-made ingredients and the strong sense of community and continuity as the family business prepares for the next generation.

Itami City (伊丹市), located in Hyōgo Prefecture, is part of the Kansai region and offers a blend of traditional atmosphere and modern convenience. The restaurant’s location at 6-216 Senso, Itami, is a testament to the enduring appeal of neighborhood dining rooted in local history. Kantonsyuko Fukusue is not just a place to eat, but a narrative of familial pride, culinary care, and the ties that keep customers coming back year after year.
