Tucked into Hanakoji: Taiwanese cooking from a Taipei-born owner who runs the whole place herself

A Taiwanese restaurant that regulars keep to themselves, deep in Hanakoji, the backstreet drinking quarter of Nanokamachi. The talkative, Taipei-born owner runs it single-handed, but the cooking is serious enough to impress people who eat out for a living: ingredients brought in from Taiwan, organic vegetables grown in Yamagata, and an attention to detail that goes well beyond the ordinary.
