Shaxian goes overseas

A Chinese restaurant chain serving Shaxian County cuisine has opened its first US outlet.

Located in Brooklyn, New York, the restaurant, which opened on Monday, presents overseas foodies with traditional Chinese snacks, including peanut butter noodles and pork wonton.

Originating in Shaxian county in East China’s Fujian Province, the snacks spread as locals traveled afar for work.

In June, the company set up its first overseas outlet at Takadanobaba Station in Tokyo.

As of the end of September, the 80-square-meter restaurant had sold around 5 million yen ($44,563) in snacks monthly.

According to the industry development center of the brand, overseas Chinese in at least 10 countries including the US, Britain, Argentina, Australia and Canada, have shown their interest in the chain.
