Da’an District, Taipei City｜京町山本屋｜Kyomachi Yamamotoya

Reservation recommended. Lots of people waiting in line even during weekdays. Tatami floor provides authentic Japanese style tea house. It feels like in Kyoto somehow. Great service and nice garden view if you sit in the main living room. I came here during afternoon. All dishes we ordered are traditional Japanese sweets. I love the Sakura special bear dish for kids. The Sakura paste is combination of sweet and salt. Matcha Warabi Mochi has dense taste and match well with 黃豆粉和黑蜜. Will come back again.

This gorgeous little Japanese restaurant is a vibe 🤩. It immediately had a calming effect on me when I walked in with its cleanliness and soft music. Things to consider before going: you need to make a reservation, and the seating is tatami, so I wouldn't recommend wearing a short skirt like I mistakenly did (unless that's your thing). The menu has a lot of options to choose from, and I appreciate the variety of vegetarian dishes available. Note: I went with a friend who can't eat seaweed and it was near impossible to find a dish that didn't have it somewhere. The dishes are presented very delicately and are quite stunning. They tasted awesome too, which I suppose is the most important thing.

The food is good but after finish feel not full. (I order chicken set 450 ntd). Matcha menu is the must try!
