The owner, Mr. Lin (林錫宏先生), initially learned how to make cuttlefish balls with Uncle Cuttlefish (花枝伯王耀通先生) who is famous as expert of cuttlefish in Penghu. Then, he started his own business in Kaohsiung. At the beginning, he started the business in the traditional market. In recent years, he decided to transform their business model to run a factory and tourism museum. Throughout these years, Hong Yu insisted on the traditional methods to produce the cuttlefish ball. Also, they obeyed the sustainability to select the raw material. The tradition about cuttlefish balls, how to produce the cuttlefish balls and what Hong Yu does to guarantee the quality of their product were introduced in detail in the visit.
