I know, it’s been a while since the last post, but let’s start back off with everyone’s favorite food topic, sushi. So once again I found myself in Taipei and once again I’m super jet lagged. What’s a person to do? Why, let’s head over to Addiction Aquatic Development for some early morning eats. Sure,...
I’ve been wanting to come to Nikukappou Yuu for some time. After seeing their preparations of wagyu and uni on my Instagram feed I needed to look a bit closer. They weren’t just beautiful, they sounded like the combinations worked. And when I started seeing the wagyu katsu sando appearing on their menu, we had to...
The Michelin restaurant guide came out for Taiwan and I was happy to see one of the places I wanted to try was on the list, RAW. It was a place I missed out last time in Taipei simply because it was difficult to get a reservation. Now, I can imagine it’s probably next to...

And since those places are now inundated with tourists and long wait times, we decided to try out a Unagiuosho....
New Year’s Eve brought a great omakase experience in both the food and the atmosphere. With so much competition in the realm of high end Japanese restaurants in Taipei, what I find rare are those places that add in a bit of character to their restaurant. That’s exactly what we were given at Yoinn Japanese Cuisine....
