Taipei Neihu - A hidden gem for Japanese omakase cuisine that requires reservations a month in advance, and even then, it’s not guaranteed to get a spot. Here’s my beloved restaurant list! ✨

This place has been open for three years now, and I was amazed when I first visited right after it opened! I have been here nearly ten times and truly recommend it, but now it’s so popular that you have to rely on luck to get a table!

Both lunch and dinner are omakase meals.
▶️ Lunch
🔹 Price: NT$ 580
🔹 Dining hours: 12:00 - 13:00 (1 hour dining time)

▶️ Dinner
🔹 Price: NT$ 1150 / NT$ 1420 (two options available)
🔹 Time Slot One | 17:30 - 19:30 (2 hours dining time)
🔹 Time Slot Two | 19:30 - 21:30 (2 hours dining time)

✨ This time we were very lucky to get a spot for dinner at the price of NT$ 1420 per person.
🔹 A total of 16 dishes: 14 dishes + 1 soup + 1 dessert
🔹 I have detailed the introduction in the notes below the photos.
🔹 Since it’s omakase, the items will vary according to the season. However, if there are items that frequently appear, I will highlight them in the descriptions!

▶️ Friendly reminders
🔹 Please make a reservation using the "inline system" (it’s advised to grab a spot immediately after reservations open up a month in advance).
🔹 All guests in the same group must choose the same price package.
🔹 Reservations are held for 10 minutes; if you’re late, it will be regarded as a cancellation.
🔹 Most dishes at this restaurant are served raw.
🔹 Only cash is accepted, and no service charge is collected.
🔹 You can bring your own alcohol; the corkage fee is NT$ 500 per bottle.
🔹 There are drinks available on site (sake, beer, soda, etc.).
🔹 Private events can be arranged (it’s recommended to book 2-3 months in advance via official LINE).
🔹 Please arrive on time! No lateness! (If you book the 19:30 slot, you may need to wait for the previous guests to finish).
🔹 There’s a restroom inside, located on the basement level, and it’s quite clean!

▶️ Overall evaluation
To find such reasonably priced omakase Japanese cuisine in Taipei, I believe the cost-performance ratio is very high! The ingredients are genuine; you can truly taste their essence. The chef’s dedication to each dish is evident, with no overly extravagant cooking methods—everything is understated and shows the spirit of craftsmanship. I sincerely rate this dining experience a perfect five stars.

The focused appearance of the chef (Continue reading below for the introduction of each dish!)

📍First dish: Japanese Kyushu Sea Bream Sushi 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘 The sea bream is seasoned with rose salt to enhance its flavor. The fish is relatively tender, has lower fat content, and the freshness is prominently highlighted.

📍Second Dish: Donggang Black Tuna Sushi 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 The oiliness is just right, and the fish meat is slightly soft and tender with a good texture, but it’s not the kind of high-grade black tuna belly that melts in your mouth.

📍Third Item: Japanese Kyushu Striped Jack Sushi 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘 A delicacy from the deep seas of Japan, the striped jack has a firm and chewy texture, with a fine and tender quality. It has a sweet and delicate flavor, and a crisp texture when eaten.

📍 Fourth dish: Tuna Mountain 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 It looks like a mountain; the white part is yam, and it needs to be eaten together. The yam is smooth, and the spiciness and sweetness of the wasabi, along with the aroma of soy sauce, enhance the freshness and sweetness of the tuna pieces. After enjoying the three pieces of sushi, this dish is very unique!

📍Dish No. 5: Kagoshima Yellowtail Sushi 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 The fish is first seared, brushed with soy sauce, and accompanied by yuzu pepper. The yellowtail is rich in oil, melting in your mouth, while the pepper's spiciness extends the aftertaste.

📍 Dish 6: Hokkaido Sashimi-Grade Dried Scallops 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 Wild dried scallops from the Sea of Okhotsk in Japan, sourced from unpolluted waters. The charred aroma enhances the scallops' sweet and tender texture, leaving a subtle taste of the sea. At the bottom are the finest seaweed sprouts from the intertidal zone, offering a creamy texture. Accompanied by edible rose petals, this dish is beautifully presented (but I couldn't taste the flowers XD).

📍Seventh dish: Yilan Wild Black-throated Fish Sushi 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘 The black-throated fish has a firm and chewy texture, with a captivating oily aroma. It is topped with shiso salt that brings out a subtle fragrance.

📍Rank 8: Yilan Daxi Port Shrimp Sushi 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 The shrimp is super fresh and sweet, with a tender and chewy texture, offering a rich and sweet flavor. Topped with soy sauce and sprinkled with lemon zest, the lemon fragrance highlights the harmony of the soy sauce and shrimp sweetness — you will truly fall in love with this combination! I give it five stars!

📍Ninth Dish: Grilled Eel Sushi with Seaweed 🌕🌕🌕🌖🌑 The chef will ask you to eat this directly with your hands! The eel is tender and sweet, bringing out a sweet soy sauce aroma. The seaweed adds a crispy texture, paired with shredded cucumber to enhance the refreshing taste and layers of texture. It's quite enjoyable. It's a bit unfortunate that there are a few small bones in the eel. ~

📍10th item: Grilled flounder fin meat sushi 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 (✨Frequently available item) Must be eaten hot! It melts in your mouth upon the first bite, rich in oil, with the smoky aroma of grilling filling your mouth, and a lingering finish that brings out the fragrance of scallions and a hint of texture, which is a big plus!

📍Dish 11: Clam Chawanmushi 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 (✨Frequent item) It contains a clam, ginkgo nuts, pieces of lean meat, shiitake mushrooms, and fish cake. The steamed egg is soft, tender, and sweet, melting in your mouth. After having so many raw dishes earlier, this dish feels very comforting!

📍12th item: South African white abalone 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 (✨Commonly featured item) The meat is soft, tender, and chewy, full of flavor and sweetness, with a hint of sauce aroma. The portion of abalone is quite generous! It's a complete large piece. The kelp has a refreshing texture, and when enjoyed together, it feels like swimming in the sea~~ XD

📍Dish Thirteen: Penghu Wild Shrimp 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 The shrimp are roasted, then brushed with rich sea urchin sauce, and further charred to reduce the sauce. The shrimp meat is Q (chewy), tender, and sweet, paired with the sweetness of the sea urchin—it's just too fresh! I'm absolutely in love with this dish! After roasting, the shrimp heads are very fragrant and you can break them open to eat the meat inside. Next to it is green lettuce, which is fresh and crispy, but quite bitter, haha.

📍Soup: Miso Soup 🌕🌕🌕🌖🌑 (✨Regular Item) It contains seaweed and tofu, and the miso soup is not too salty! Overall, it's quite fresh and sweet, making it very warming for the stomach!

📍Item 14: Ultimate Seafood Rice Bowl 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 (✨Frequently Featured Item) The chef uses this dish to send you to heaven in the end XD Vinegared rice topped with "Hokkaido Matsuba crab shreds," "tuna paste," "salmon cubes," "salmon roe," and "uni," garnished with wasabi and sprinkled with Japanese scallions! The chef suggests enjoying the fresh sweetness of the uni first, then mixing it all together like you're eating braised pork rice~~ With so many top-quality ingredients combined, all I can say is one word: "delicious," and then I surrender, haha!

📍Dessert: Cheesecake 🌕🌕🌕🌖🌑 (✨Frequently available item) The texture is slightly chewy and smooth, with a strong milky flavor that isn't too sweet. It's topped with Japanese matcha powder, which brings out a hint of matcha aroma that is very well balanced. (If you don't want matcha powder, you can let the staff know!)

At the beginning of your visit, the following will be provided: 📍Pickles: 🔹Shiso pickled radish 🔹Young ginger 📍Hot tea: 🔹Japanese green tea The above can be refilled, and we will proactively refill your hot tea when it's finished.

The dining environment is compact and simple, with many guests present! (Up to 12 people maximum)
