Fuzhou cuisine is one of the four subsets of Fujian cuisine, which is one of the Eight Great Traditions of Chinese cuisine. Fuzhou cuisine's taste is light compared to other styles, often with a mixed sweet and sour taste. Fuzhou cuisine displays an influence from the neighboring Zhejiang province's cuisine and as the capital of Fujian, Fuzhou has been more influenced by cuisines from Northern China but also have influences native to Fujian. It is traditionally considered the most prestigious subset of Fujian cuisine and was a strong influence on Ryukyuan cuisine in Japan.
