"X Man Cantonese Cuisine" opened on March 30, 2026, in Kunidama-cho, Kofu City. Cantonese cuisine, known for its light flavors that bring out the natural taste of the ingredients, is also famous for its dim sum. This restaurant offers everything from affordable and casual dim sum to luxurious roast duck, a twist on Peking duck.

A casual Cantonese restaurant called "X Man Cantonese Cuisine" opened near Yamanashi Gakuin University on March 30, 2026, so I went to check it out.

First, select your desired menu item at the ticket vending machine. Takeout is available, of course, but you can also enjoy a casual eat-in experience. Water and condiments are self-service.

Our absolute must-try is our homemade steamed meat buns, made from scratch! We prepare them every morning with carefully selected ingredients and hand-wrap each one, resulting in a wonderfully soft and chewy texture. The steaming hot buns, fresh from the steamer, are as soft as a baby's earlobe! Our most popular pork and shiitake mushroom bun boasts the juicy flavor of the meat and the enhanced texture and presence of the shiitake mushrooms, making it simply irresistible.

The savory flavor of dried shrimp, combined with the aroma of chives and the fluffy texture of the egg, makes for a truly delicious treat. In addition, there are four other varieties available, including pork and onion and sweet bean paste buns.

For lunch, be sure to try the indulgent set meal that lets you enjoy both of their famous roast duck and roast pork. You can savor the delicious flavors of slow-roasted duck and pork all on one plate.

This exquisite dish is made with meticulous care, involving marinating for approximately 5-6 hours, then drying for over 11 hours before being quickly roasted at high temperature in an oven. It boasts a crispy skin reminiscent of Peking duck, along with moist and juicy meat. The roast pork, on the other hand, is dried for a slightly shorter time, resulting in a perfectly balanced texture that retains the meat's bite. The sweet and sour plum sauce is available to taste.

In addition, the menu is extensive, featuring dishes such as "Hong Kong Typhoon Shelter Garlic Shrimp" which can be eaten shell and all, and "Shrimp Wontons" in a flavorful soup. The breadcrumbs, which include fried garlic, fried burdock root, and green onions, are crispy and fragrant, and when eaten with the crispy shrimp, it's truly addictive Chinese food! You could even sprinkle this on rice and eat it all up in no time.

The thick, chewy wontons slide down smoothly and are packed with shrimp. The soup is also full of dried shrimp, and it's delicious!!
"The best food is in Guangzhou." This is definitely true. I feel so lucky to be able to experience a part of that profound culture on a daily basis here in Yamanashi!
