2018.10.25=Delicious, I think I can go to sleep happily after eating! XD At the beginning, it was a large scallop + sea urchin, and in the middle was kale sauce and fried potatoes. Pick up a ginkgo in the mouth, Ou Ou, a simple salty taste, no bitterness, only full of ginkgo sweetness. The slightly bitter kale brings out the sweetness of the sea urchin and scallops, and the taste of fried potatoes alone, the balance is high...8.5 points. The first dish implies the standard of the whole store. The second dish is deep-fried Japanese pomfret. Gently poke it into the mouth, the coating absorbs the oil, and the crispness brings out the perfect sense of happiness; the slightly bitter sesame leaves enrich the depth, and the kelp salt adds layers of taste. The sweetness of the white pomfret jumps out on the tongue, so delicious that it trembles, 9 points. When you open it, there is a strong Minghe aroma. The balls are made of green bamboo and Japanese rice balls. They are soft, but the more you chew, the more they have the aroma of sea bream. The whole taste is sticky and sweet. After drinking bonito kelp soup, um~ there is a wonderful sweetness of sake, which is quite good, 7 points. Body building, sashimi dishes, with radish and small watermelon?? These special ingredients to cleanse the taste of the mouth. At the beginning, it was the live killing seven-star class + Jizhou Meimei. The fatty fish intestines were elastic, and they still felt springy after chewing for a dozen times, with a score of 7. The white swordfish is completely in season, the oily oil... tsk tsk, the entrance, the beautiful oily feeling is not like white meat fish at all, 7.5 points. Yellowtail, the king of autumn, as soon as you take it in, you will be greeted with a delicious sense of oil. The red fish meat still has a hint of iron at the end, and the luck is like a sea chicken!! 8 points, XD. The tuna has a big belly, just by looking at it, the fat distribution is better than that of Wagyu beef, and you can feel the deliciousness just by looking at it!! I can’t help but twist my body and can’t sit upright. Good! Good! Good! Say it three times in a row, The tuna oil remaining in the mouth cannot bear to be washed off, 9 points. MASA mulberry is served with Aomori Oma tuna. It looks like there is no oil, and it tastes like a concentrated gemstone. The iron bursts in the mouth in one breath, without sourness and bitterness. And after the knife processing, the tendons can be chewed, too high quality, 8 points. Weevil clam + radish puree, the sweet smell of shellfish spreads in the mouth, 7 points. Fried red throat, served at one end, is completely full of the aroma of Maitake mushrooms. Open the entrance of the red-throated meat, ah, it’s like a piece of butter, accompanied by the aroma of coriander seedlings, layer after layer of aroma emerges, and the climax is wave after wave!! Ask Masa Sang, it really is from Yilan Red Throat, 9 points. Pickled pear + finger lemon, the taste of lemon is heavier than last time. Flower crab + Hokkaido seaweed + steamed egg. The steamed egg tastes really rich. Masa-san insists that it is just the most basic method of steamed egg. As long as you don't cut corners, it will be delicious these days. There are still two or three weeks before the flower crab is the most delicious season, but today is enough. Big enough, the meat dug out is rich and elastic, 8 points. The last protagonist, Yunlin white eel rice. The skin and meat are processed separately, and the skin is roasted and crispy with sansho peppers to enhance the flavor. The chef divides it into small portions and serves it on the table. When it comes up, the sense of smell has already conquered me. It is required to eat the skin, meat, and rice together, chew the mouth, ouch, hey~ The crispy outer belt exudes bursts of citrus aroma. After washing off the greasy feeling, it returns to the wave of eel oil aroma, and finally returns to the sansho pepper Slightly pungent tongue, huh~ This combination of tastes is wonderful!!!! The high-end eel rice that I ate in Nagoya before did not feel good. Today I am really impressed, 9 points. Honey Cream + Tuba Le Smoothie + Crispy Plum, nothing to say, delicious, 8 points. Every dish of Fried Day is really wonderful. If you fall asleep with such an experience, I believe you will laugh in your dreams. 2018.08.15=I ate Ibuki on Monday, and I immediately remembered that Yu Kecook was so good. I originally planned to order it for Thursday noon, but it was full. Well, try it a day early. Sitting in front of Masa-san today is not bad. At first, the appetizer looked like a salad. I didn't expect much, my pupils dilated as soon as I entered! surprise! Grilled Hokkaido scallops are paired with sesame soy sauce, and the whole dessert comes out! tasty! The figs are also quite good, sweet, grown by small farmers in Dayuan Township, good! 7.5 points. You will know if you have it as soon as you shoot it, and then there are two kinds of pickles and kelp sprouts. Kelp sprouts go well with fruit vinegar. I like radishes too. My favorite is chayote. The sweet and sour taste after pickling with passion fruit is irresistible, 7 points. I ate a lot... Next is the Penghu Qixing Class, which tastes delicate and sweet, with elastic meat and 7 points of sweetness. Shuizhen, topped with Japanese plums for seasoning, 7 points! Yellowtail, look how beautiful the color is! Delicious, 7 points. There is a grilled fish in the middle, the Hokkaido cod is grilled with Taiwanese herbs, and it is served with American asparagus. As soon as you take it in, oh, the delicious happiness comes out! When you ask about this high-grade cod, the meat is very firm, with a crispy outer skin, and the fat in the inner layer is simply a rug leading to heaven, so satisfying! 9 points. Pickled pears, as a Western Sorbet, are good. Nigiri sushi bursts, tuna, not bad 7 points. Tuna belly meat, just look at the fat, the satisfaction of the fat, tsk tsk, 8 points. Ruansi, oh oh oh oh, as soon as I eat it, the sweetness of Ruansi is brought out by the whole grapefruit-flavored sour orange. It is hard to believe that something without fat makes me want to tremble, 8.5 points. The flounder was grilled, and the whole flounder was dissected in front of me. Oh, it's very simple, the flounder is 8 points. Finally, chirashi sushi is served. The sushi ingredients and the rice grains are quite high. The rich aroma of the salmon roe makes people happy after being bitten, 8 points. Finally, there is cheesecake-like yogurt paired with champagne grapes. When I left, MASA-san was still delivered to the door. It should be planned to have dinner next time... I want to try the level of cooked food! 2018.06.07=The sous-chef Longyin came out to start a business, and the lunch set is quite good! The degree of sophistication and completion are quite high! XD At the beginning, "edamame mousse + seaweed + dried scallops + fried dried scallops + white bamboo shoots" kicked off, and you can feel the heart of the cuisine. Each ingredient is specially processed before being combined together. The taste and texture are impeccable, and I don't bother to rate it afterwards, because there is no one dish that will feel bad. "Pickled cherry radish" I ate a few of them with a whimper. "Water Needle Fish" and "Bai Gan" are two courses in a row, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the eloquence is fragrant. "Yellowfish" surprised me a little, the aroma of grapefruit, the aftertaste is also a little spicy?? "Horsehead Fish + Pickled Asparagus", the asparagus has been marinated in broth, and the asparagus is neatly thrown underneath, thinking that it will be entangled when clamped, but it didn't. There is really no loophole in every small detail. Eating it alone or pairing it together is a match made in heaven. After "Tuna", served "Lianwu"? Do you dare to bring something like Lianwu to the table? Once you eat it, hey, how should I say it? Sour and sweet echoes like stars twinkling, so perfect. "Medium Tuna" "Flounder Fin + Basil", the flounder with oil, my favorite. "Sweet Shrimp" are placed side by side, and they won't fall apart after eating, which is amazing. However, while enjoying the elasticity, I feel a little bit of bitterness, which is a pity. "Chirasu Sushi", excellent. "Miso Soup", the taste of mushrooms inside will make you feel the weight of this bowl of soup. "Almond Tofu + Honey + Peanut", it doesn't taste sweet at all, but the original taste of the ingredients is perfectly presented. Overall 8 points, I want to return after eating. Comments are two words, complicated & dedicated. It's a pity that there is no violent destruction of grease, hahaha~

Very well executed. We had the shorter menu, will try the full menu next time. Good stuff Taipei!
