Matsuyama is undoubtedly the best place for
eating
in Shikoku, with a wide range of restaurants, cafAŠs and bars. You'll come across a number of local foods - all worth trying - including the sponge roly-poly cake called
taruto
, inspired by a Portuguese confection introduced to Japan 350 years ago through the port of Nagasaki; the three-coloured rice dumplings on sticks called
Botchan dango
, after the character's favourite sweet; and
goshiki somen
, thin noodles made in five colours. There are also plenty of fast-food options in the city centre along the shopping arcades, including
KFC, McDonald's, Mister Donuts
and a branch of the cheap coffee shop
Doutor
on Gintengai. Other useful information
