Glutinous rice balls

The glutinous rice balls here refer to the Wufangzhai glutinous rice balls. Founded in 1946, Wuhan Wufangzhai was originally a restaurant on Zhongshan Avenue in Hankou, famous for its Ningbo dumplings. Wuhan Wufangzhai has been operating so far, optimizing the formula and improving the production process, and has a strong reputation among the locals. Wufangzhai glutinous rice balls are filled with black sesame seeds, peanuts, osmanthus flowers, etc., which are freshly wrapped and cooked, fresh and sweet.

When it comes to Wufangzhai, more people are familiar with Zhejiang Wufangzhai, which is famous for Jiaxing zongzi and has the name of "zongzi king". Wuhan Wufangzhai is also a time-honored brand that is like a fake, and is known as the "king of rice balls". In August 2015, Wuhan Wufangzhai was acquired by Zhejiang Wufangzhai, and the two places were unified.

Buying glutinous rice balls in Wufangzhai is an indispensable and important part of the Lantern Festival of the old Wuhan people. During the Spring Festival, Wufangzhai closed all cooked food business projects and only sold quick-frozen rice balls. From morning to night, the queue at the door of the store is more than 100 meters. The older generation of Wuhan people believes: "The most traditional crafts are of course sold in stores, and there are also OEM ones in supermarkets, but after all, they are not as authentic as those in stores." ”
