Da’an District, Taipei City｜燈燈庵 Tou Tou An

First time dine in here on a Sunday evening, Tou Tou An’s authentic/creative Japanese cuisines really amaze me. Been to many restaurants served with set menu, mostly decorate each course with colors and fancy side dishes, yet can’t really stands out the main dish, or sometimes messing up the definition of creativity. Tou Tou An avoided both of above, they did a great job balancing the taste of main and side dishes. Each course is delightful (we asked for low sodium, and we loved it!) and tickles taste buds. The portion is medium, I am 80% full after 9 courses plus 1 dessert on the house. We encountered 2 waitress serve our meals, the first one was great! Super friendly and explain each course patiently. Thanks to her we had a very good dining experience, hence the 5 stars!🙌🏼

Innovative cuisine executed with nuance. Cosy setting and masterful service. Good value

Incredible culinary experience with two menu sets. English menu can be asked. Several dishes with unique presentation. They change the course every three months. Very nice kaiseki in Taipei.
