The dishes at Da Tsuru Aotian are diverse and delicious. The mentaiko cream udon and mentaiko chicken skewers are particularly popular, with outstanding texture and flavor. The fried chili is also very special and leaves a lasting impression.
The restaurant is located in a quiet spot amid the hustle and bustle, allowing one to feel the atmosphere of a Japanese izakaya. The decor is simple and comfortable, creating a great vibe for regulars, making it a suitable place to have drinks and chat with friends.
The staff is friendly and attentive, offering a rich selection of alcoholic beverages, along with an unlimited drinking promotion, allowing guests to feel warmly welcomed and making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I heard some customers speaking Japanese and thought it would be worth looking forward to. The decor and furnishings are quite Japanese-style. The space isn't large, but there is a wide variety of dishes, and the drinks are abundant with an all-you-can-drink promotion. The environment is also nice.
The beer is served in highball glasses, so the portion is slightly less than usual, making the all-you-can-drink offer a good deal. It's a two-hour limit, which is perfect for those who can drink quickly. The food is all standard fare, but I tried the fried chili for the first time, which was quite unique and I really liked it. The staff seemed very enthusiastic, often inviting customers to play games and drink a few rounds. There was a nice atmosphere with many regulars around.
My favorite izakaya to bring friends to eat at
Dahe Qingtian is located between Jiantan Station and Shilin Station
Avoid the crowds at night markets
It’s a quiet location amidst the hustle and bustle.
There is a parking lot under the MRT bridge nearby, which is very convenient.
Although the whole store is not big, it can accommodate not many customers.
It really felt like I was on the streets of Japan in one second
I randomly picked an izakaya to have a drink and chat.

[Must order every time you come]
• Mentaiko cream udon (unfortunately I didn’t take a photo today)
Rich white sauce aroma, perfectly soft udon noodles
When the dish is served, you can see a dollop of mentaiko.
Stir evenly into the noodles, every bite is full of happiness!!!
• Mentaiko chicken drumsticks
The perfect blend of fragrant mayonnaise and mentaiko
Grilled on top of tender and juicy chicken thighs
Aroma, deliciousness, and taste are all No. 1!!!!!!
• Tsukimi dolphin meat water lotus
I definitely ate it in an izakaya
The most perfect fried water lotus 🤤
Retains excellent crispness
Very special seasoning, the kind that will kill you instantly upon serving
• Salted roasted buttered zucchini
A must-try for zucchini lovers
Every time I come, there are two sets of dancing🤣
I secretly asked the store manager how he made the grilled food so delicious.
It turns out that it was brushed with butter before salt baking.
There are scorch marks on the outer layer
After taking a bite, your mouth is filled with fresh and sweet juice, which makes you feel super happy.
• Flax asparagus
It’s my most recommended appetizer
It’s also the thickest and most refreshing sesame sauce I’ve ever tasted.
Maybe add more vinegar? Not sure 🤣
All in all, it is a product that retains the aroma of flax without being cloying.
Super appetizing!!!!!!!
[First try]
• Spread out the tofu
It should be a must-have meal in Japanese cuisine/izakaya
The amount of Japanese dipping sauce provided by the store is just right
About 1/4 is slightly moistened and the crispy crust is
A mouthful of tender tofu melts directly in your mouth
• Sauce-roasted beef rice bowl
This time, my friend happened to have some rice bowls.
Rice is soft and hard just right
It won’t be too soft or sticky after being topped with sauce
The beef is very flavorful!!! Those with heavy taste will love it
• Spicy secret edamame beans
I thought it was the common black pepper edamame
Unexpectedly...it's pepper and sesame flavor!!!!!
It’s so special 🥹 Very mouth-watering
It is also the appetizing series that was sold out instantly.

I’ve eaten here 4-5 times since the opening.
Come with different friends every time
I will be praised every time for knowing how to eat🤓
Finally, I would like to recommend their wines
Although there are all-you-can-drink options
But we are not strong enough (Ashamed🤣
I chose the one recommended by the store manager - Plum Pomelo Beer
Combining slightly sour plum wine + draft beer!!!!!
More than addictive
Looking forward to eating again next time to see the new items
by the bun-faced Yan San who is not doing his job properly
Dahe Qingtian located on Shilin Wenlin Road
It’s a Japanese-style izakaya
Although a small room
But there are many kinds of dishes in the store
All kinds of sake, beer and cava are available
Mentaiko fried udon noodles are very fragrant and refreshing
Just the right amount
I'll be satisfied if I order some more skewers
Skewers are mainly cooked over charcoal fire
Enjoy Master's exquisite grilling skills
The first Mentaiko series
All are delicious
