I have bought a lot of food in Caizhizhai. Caizhizhai is also a long-established jewelry store in Suzhou. It is very tiring for our upper body in Shanghai. Taikang Jewelry First Food Store has some bulk Jingjing Dried Tofu for sale. If you like it, you can buy some. If you don't like sweet, don't sell it.
Caizhizhai, a time-honored shop on Guanqian Street, is famous for its fermented rice cakes. Besides this old shop, the time-honored shop has also opened branches in shopping malls. If friends from other places want to bring some local specialties back, they can consider buying some.
If you come to Suzhou, it is an incomplete trip if you don't visit Caizhizhai. It is very convenient to find Caizhizhai in Guanqian Street. You can tell by the queue that where there are the most people is Caizhizhai. There are always dozens of people buying dried tofu at the door. My wife bought the hawthorn inside and said it was not sweet or sour, and it was delicious. The next day, I wanted to buy it again at Caizhizhai in Shantang Street, but I didn't buy it. I will buy it again when I have the chance!
It takes half an hour to get to Suzhou from Shanghai by train. Then I went to Tiger Hill for a tour, then took Line 1 North to Guanqian Street to have a bowl of noodles nearby. Then I went to Caizhizhai to buy the handmade pine nut rice dumpling candy, crispy black sesame candy, and Jinjin dried tofu, which are the favorites of foodies. The taste is really amazing, especially the rice dumpling candy filled with big pine nuts, which is definitely the taste of childhood!
I can't find the main store of Caizhizhai Guanqian Street on the reviews. It may be the same store name as this teahouse, so I'll just comment here for now. Caizhizhai is the originator of food stores in Suzhou and even the surrounding cities. It has local snacks, seasonal selections, and traditional delicacies. There are countless branches, but I still love this main store. Convenient transportation and a full range of varieties. In the past few years, prices have skyrocketed, and the prices of Caizhizhai's food have also increased accordingly. Some foods have risen to unreasonable levels. Last year, I found that old and famous stores have put things right and adjusted prices to a reasonable range. The taste of the food is also more strictly controlled than in previous years. Great!
A famous store in Suzhou. For those who buy snacks, the most popular one is Jinjin brand dried tofu. They also sell rice dumpling candies, jujube paste cakes, various crisp candies and candied fruits. It is located in Guanqian Street, the most famous pedestrian street in Suzhou.
