**Signature Dishes**
Sashimi-Grade Scallop Burger – NT.180 ★★★★★
A thick, seared scallop with a slightly charred surface releases a delicate smoky aroma. Paired with sweet uni and bouncy salmon roe, all layered on crisp seaweed, this dish offers a multi-dimensional texture. The melt-in-your-mouth scallop and rich seafood flavors create the perfect combination.
Diced Octopus with Fresh Wasabi – NT.100 ★★★★★
The octopus is diced into bite-sized pieces, boasting a chewy yet tender texture. The fresh wasabi provides a sharp but balanced heat, enhancing the natural sweetness of the octopus. I first tried this dish at the neighboring Issho Asahi Hot Pot and fell in love—had to order it again here!
Cod Liver Salad – NT.200 ★★★★★
The cod liver is smooth, rich, and buttery, melting in your mouth like a luxurious pâté. Combined with crisp greens and a tangy house-made Japanese dressing, this dish is both refreshing and indulgent.
Premium Oyster with Salsa – NT.120 ★★★★★
Highly recommended! I first had this at Issho Asahi Hot Pot and instantly became a fan. The fresh, silky oyster carries a pure oceanic flavor, perfectly balanced by the slightly tangy and mildly spicy salsa. Everyone at the table loved it!
Grilled Seasonal Vegetable Platter – NT.220 ★★★★★
Each vegetable is grilled to perfection, preserving its natural sweetness. Lightly seasoned with salt, this dish is simple yet flavorful, making for a refreshing side.
Premium Prime Short Rib Skewer – NT.110 / Special Glazed Chuck Roll Skewer – NT.100 / Pickled Chili Pork Roll – NT.80 ★★★★★
The prime short rib has an even marbling, releasing an irresistible aroma after grilling. Juicy and tender, every bite is packed with meaty richness. The chuck roll skewer offers a firmer texture with a deep umami taste. Meanwhile, the pickled chili pork roll blends mild spiciness with a distinct briny aroma, wrapping the pork’s juiciness in a flavorful bite—I absolutely love it.
Yuzu Pepper Chicken Thigh Skewer – NT.70 / Mentaiko Chicken Thigh Skewer – NT.80 ★★★★★
The chicken thigh is grilled to crispy perfection on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside. The yuzu pepper provides a light citrusy spice, a combination I adore. The mentaiko chicken skewer, coated with rich and savory cod roe sauce, has a creamy umami flavor, enhanced further by the slight char from grilling—pure Japanese perfection.
Stir-Fried Matsusaka Pork with Water Spinach – NT.130 ★★★★★
The water spinach remains crisp and fresh, while the pork’s savory juices infuse into the greens, creating a well-balanced, flavorful dish.
Butter-Sautéed Mixed Mushrooms – NT.140 ★★★★★
A medley of mushrooms sautéed in butter, offering a deep, earthy aroma. The mushrooms’ tender texture complements the rich, yet not overwhelming, buttery taste—I couldn’t stop eating this!
Clam Soup – NT.70 ★★★★★
The broth is light yet flavorful, brimming with the natural sweetness of fresh, plump clams. A warm, comforting choice.
Grilled Dried Whitebait – NT.320 ★★★★★
Dried and aged for enhanced umami, these tiny fish are grilled until crispy on the outside and tender inside. The result is a perfectly salty, aromatic snack—ideal for pairing with drinks.
