The rotating round tables, provided nowadays in high-class restaurants in China, were originally round tables for serving both Japanese dishes and Chinese dishes, invented by a Chinese cook having resided in Yokohama, to be used in restaurants serving both Japanese and Chinese dishes.
また、現在では中国の高級飯店で常設されている回転式の円形食卓も、元来は横浜の在日中国人調理家が和食と中食の折衷店で使えるものとして日本において発明した和・中兼式料理円卓である。
