Welcome back to a new episode from our Street Food Around the World in Taiwan series. In episode 2, we are taking you to JAPAN! Japan colonized Taiwan for 50 years and has influenced Taiwan in many ways. Because of this, Japanese culture and authentic FOOD can be found around every corner! We are first going to Beitou, which is a hot spring district that was developed by the Japanese into a retreat.
We start at Beitou Museum, to see some Japanese architecture. This building is the last two-storey Japanese built building in the country, and used to house Japanese kamikaze pilots before their final flights. After checking out the unique building features, we went inside the Beitou Museum restaurant to have a traditional Japanese Kaiseki (multi course meal). The Kaiseki featured 8 different seasonal dishes and oolong tea. The price of the meal was 956 NTD each (USD $32.20), which included the entry to the museum.
A must-see in Beitou is the hot springs!!! The activity of soaking in hot springs is a popular Japanese activity, and “onsens” can be found everywhere in Japan. We went to Marshal Zen Garden, another old Japanese retreat with an interesting history. Here, we rented a private hot spring room. It featured a hot bath (rich with minerals) and a cold bath. It was 1 hour of pure relaxation with a gorgeous view over Beitou. The room we rented cost 1500 NTD per hour (USD $50.53) for two people.
Next, we checked out a Japanese-era temple dedicated to Guanyin known as Puji Temple. You can see that many of the architectural design features of the temple are Japanese, mainly the design of the roof.
After exploring Beitou, we went back into Taipei for more Japanese food. Our next restaurant was a street food oden stall. The oden was quite different from the Taiwanese style which can be found in the night markets and fish markets. You can order fish cakes, tofu, daikon radish, vegetables, and it is as authentic as oden stalls we have visited in Osaka! They even serve it with a spicy mustard! We paid 140 NTD (USD $4.71) for our bowl.
To finish our day of eating Japanese street food, we went to a local izakaya (Japanese bar). This izakaya’s specialty is Hiroshima okonomiyaki, with decor (and beer) from Okinawa. The okonomiyaki is made with a batter, crunchy vegetables, soba noodles, bacon and a fried egg stacked together as a pancake. It is topped with a special okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise and pickled ginger (260 NTD / USD $8.75). We also ordered chicken meatballs (240 NTD / USD $8.07) and our favorite Japanese drinks: overflowing sake and ginger highball! And what makes this izakaya special is they offer a dice rolling game. If you roll two 1’s, you get a free drink, if you roll an even number you get 50% off your drink, and if you roll an odd number, you must buy the mega sized drink! We got 50% off of our Orion beer!

[@WesDaviestravel]

Amazing video! I really love the more vlog style films you guys do sometimes. Great shots, awesome food. You definitely look super happy after that hot spring Hotel ;)

[@Kylelongwest]

You are literally the only food youtuber that can go eat wherever you want. luckily taiwan did a very good job at containing the virus, and taiwan is the home of streetfood, so you don't have to go anywhere far

[@RockstarEater]

I go eat wherever I want too :)

[@jenkins80526]

The authenticity and the feel of these Japanese places and the food was really surprising. Great video both of you! I really like it when you do these longer videos. Keep up the great work. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@LukeMartin]

[@LukeMartin]

They are so beautiful!

[@azndude508]

Taiwan clams don't get enough love! They're so juicy and flavorful. I'm always on the look out for these as stand alone bites at night markets or when offered at hot pot restaurants.

[@SatishKumar41]

Thank you for taking us on a mini trip to Japan. All the food and the visit to Japanese style hot spring almost felt like being filmed in Japan. It really means a lot to people like us who are stuck at home with no clue when international will get back to normalcy. Arigato Gozaimasu :)

[@user-ml7tt5he4z]

Oh, I traveled here a few years ago!! Your video vividly reminds me of all the memories of my last trip! Lovely!!!!!! Wabisabi! Your video makes me happy. I want to go to Taiwan again. If you have a chance, please come to Korea, too! There are many delicious food here in Korea, too! Thank you always. I love traveling, but I can't go now. It's a real break for me to see your journey.

[@i2hellfire]

@@LukeMartin The views from the entry staircase that leads down to the house have gorgeous city vistas, especially during magic hour.

[@nickandhelmi]

I remember when we were in japan for 9 days, i think we went to an onsen like 5 days out of the 9 days (all in different areas though, osaka, Tokyo, Nagano etc :D) - its almost every place we go has their own bathhouse too :D - good to see Taipei is coming back alive and u guys seem to be doing fine :) - cant wait when we can all travel again. If its not Taipei its not Humid lol XD

[@LukeMartin]

1:30 The legend says until now Sabrina is still walking.

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

When I miss Japan, it is often a food memory that triggers the feeling. I love and miss Japanese cuisine. Sharing a meal makes people like each other or as the feel closer with strong bond. Eating the same food leads to trust and cooperation because they feel closer with the feeling of intimacy among those eating together, share the experience with eating and drinking.
