Step into Nantong's old quarter and Jianbin Grain Shop will transport you back in time! This vintage grocery store bursts with nostalgic charm, where wooden shelves display rainbow-colored jars of peanuts, sesame and other traditional ingredients, all bathing in the warm aroma of edible oils. The friendly owner loves sharing stories in local dialect while recommending authentic snacks – don't leave without their stone-ground sesame powder or crispy Nantong pancakes, the ultimate taste of Jiangnan's rustic lifestyle.
