源興御香屋 圓環總店

Located at the Cultural Road Roundabout in Chiayi, Yuanxing Yuxiang is already a legend in the hand-shaken beverage scene. As a graduate of National Chiayi University, the first thing I do when I arrive in Chiayi is to go to Yuxiang to buy a drink.

The most representative drink is the "Grapefruit Green Tea (with Plum)."
This drink seems simple, but it stands out among many hand-shaken brands. The key lies in its nearly perfect balance of proportions. The freshly squeezed grapefruit pulp is tangy and refreshing, while the green tea base brings a subtle tea aroma. Finally, a sweet and savory plum is added, which instantly elevates the flavor layers. At first sip, you experience the vibrant citrus aroma, followed by the sweet aftertaste of the tea and the slight saltiness of the plum, quenching your thirst without being heavy. This is why Yuxiang has become a “must-try” in Chiayi—it turns an apparently ordinary combination into an unforgettable classic.

Yuxiang is situated right at the Cultural Road Roundabout, with a steady stream of people. Regardless of whether it’s a weekday or holiday, there are always people lining up at the entrance. However, the restaurant is quick in serving, so even if you have to wait in line, it's not for long.
