Taiwanese gourmet event at Hanshin Umeda Main Store, “Shokusai Terrace-teki Taiwan no Sekai” (The World of Taiwanese Gourmet)
The “Shokusai Terrace: The World of Taiwanese Gourmet” is a gourmet event that introduces the deep appeal of Taiwanese cuisine through food that can be enjoyed at a Taiwanese night market. This second edition of the “Shokusai Terrace: The World of Taiwanese Gourmet” will again allow visitors to enjoy authentic Taiwanese gourmet food as if they were enjoying eating and walking around at a night market.
Shirunashi Tangyan-men (noodle soup without soup) 918 yen per person
Rouleau rice, a staple of Taiwanese cuisine
One of the staples of Taiwanese cuisine is lu-lo rice, which is becoming increasingly well-known and popular in Japan. The Taiwanese restaurant “Hinami Taiwan hán” from Oyodo, Osaka, will offer exotic-flavored lu-lo rice with braised pork belly flavored with octagonal horns and other spices and served over jasmine rice.
Small baskets & chimaki made by Taiwanese owner
The freshly steamed dim sum is also not to be missed. The xiaolongbao (basket dumplings) from Taiwanese restaurant Dojima Taiwan Xiaozui 168, also from Osaka, is a juicy dish with a thin skin and a flavorful broth that overflows from the inside. Combined with the chimaki, which is filled with a variety of ingredients, you can enjoy the local flavor prepared by the Taiwanese owner.

Taiwanese doughnuts evolving with stores’ original recipes
