Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜百鶴樓

Small Taiwanese restaurant, very delicious.

There are an increasing number of cheap Chinese restaurants serving Taiwanese cuisine on the streets, but this is a family-run restaurant where you can enjoy authentic Taiwanese home cooking (Taiwanese town Chinese), as the owner is from Taiwan. I've been going to this restaurant for many years, and they mainly serve set meals for lunch, but each dish is unique with the seasonings, ingredients, and aromas of authentic Taiwanese cuisine. In particular, I personally recommend [Tender Bamboo Shoots and Braised Meat], which I absolutely love. The bamboo shoots are from Taiwan and are extremely soft and go well with the sauce, and the braised meat is also slowly simmered, making them extremely soft and delicious, perfect for Taiwanese cuisine. Other than that, it's not a Taiwanese dish, but the fried chicken is super delicious with the green onions and garlic. The only disappointing thing is that they seem to use cheap rice, so it doesn't have the fluffy, glossy, sweet flavor of high-quality rice, but I think it goes well with the food. .

It feels like a family-run restaurant with a homey feel, but there are a lot of authentic Taiwanese dishes, so I was hesitant, but I wanted to try the mapo rice bowl, so I ordered it. It is a shop that can be served with rice ☺️
