Have you ever visited a famous Taiwanese restaurant, Koki Ryokoan? This is a prestigious Taiwanese restaurant that is well known to both locals and tourists alike.
"Ta-a noodles" in the name of the restaurant is Tainan's specialty dish, which is made by adding noodles to a miso-style soup made from shrimp and topped with pork soboro and onions.
Ingredients and samples for cooking are placed at the entrance of the store. Even if you don't speak Chinese, you can order by pointing.
You can specify how to cook the ingredients, but if you are not particular about it, we recommend leaving it to the store.
This time I got a menu like this.
・ Bitter melon 40 yuan ・ Good luck tofu 120 yuan ・ Bamboo steamer gourd 250 yuan ・ Salted duck egg 150 yuan I chose beer for drinks!
It is said that Taiwanese cuisine is based on Fujian cuisine, but it has developed independently by incorporating the Taiwanese climate and rich ingredients. It is relatively popular with Japanese customers because it is seasoned with soy sauce and dried bonito flakes and uses less oil than Chinese food in other regions.
There are many popular menus, so please stop by when you come to Taiwan.
Good luck, Zhongshan District, Taipei City, No. 79, Jinlin Road Business Hours: 11: 00-14: 30, 17: 00-0: 00

It's finally the last day of 2020.
This year was a really tough year for those involved in our travel business to be swayed by Corona.
Even so, I was given the opportunity to take a new initiative called a virtual tour, and I was able to meet Japanese customers, albeit through the screen. Even in this uncertain situation, I was greatly saved by the smiles and kind comments of our customers.
Thank you to everyone who participated and to everyone at VELTRA for planning.
By the way, New Year's Eve events are held in various places in Taiwan every year.
However, this year it was canceled due to the influence of Corona.
101 fireworks in Taipei will be held, but you will be admitted by wearing a mask / temperature measurement / disinfection / signature / identification card.

Sun Moon Lake, located in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, central Taiwan, is a very beautiful alpine lake. It was named Sun Moon Lake because it looks like the sun on the east side and the moon on the west side of Lalu Island.
Surrounded by mountains and abundant in water, this land changes its appearance depending on the season, weather, and time of day and shows various faces. The beauty of nature is one of the eight scenic spots in Taiwan.
Around the lake, there is the Nigetsutan Kantan Public Road where you can take a walk and cycle. Approximately 400m from the water company to the Xiangshan Visitor Center has a route on the lake, which is especially wonderfully recommended.
Besides cycling, you can also board a boat or take the ropeway to see the lake from above.
At the surrounding restaurants, you can enjoy stir-fried wild boar meat, wild boar meat, venison-based mountain dishes, and indigenous dishes that are rarely seen in Taipei.
The area around Sun Moon Lake is also famous for producing black tea. Not only the tea leaves themselves, but also sweets made from tea leaves are available, so it is recommended as a souvenir.
Please see for yourself the changing scenery such as early morning, dusk, and quiet night. There is no doubt that you will be captivated by Sun Moon Lake.

In the latter half of December, the northern part of Taiwan has become completely cold.
Illumination events for Christmas and New Year's Eve are now starting in each city. This time, I visited an event held in Banqiao, New Taipei City.
Since this year is the 10th anniversary of the event, it will be a special event in collaboration with Disney called "Disney Fairy Tales fairy tales", and it is crowded with many people every day.
The most popular are the Cheshire Cat objects that appear in the central Christmas tree and Alice in Wonderland. By the way, it is said that the number of objects and exhibits installed is 48, which is the largest in history.
In addition, there are eight tunnels of light that are surrounded by 360-degree light, which is popular for photography every year.
The venue is a very large area, centered on the New Taipei City Government and in front of Fuchu Station.
The event will be held for a long period of 52 days from November 13, 2020 to January 03, 2021.
It's crowded on weekends, so it's a good idea to arrive and know where it is before it gets dark.
* Please wear a mask at the venue.
Have a nice weekend.

The [Longten Bridge] in Miaoli, central Taiwan was originally a brick arch bridge built in 1908 when the Taiwan Governor's Office Railway opened the entire Western Trunk Line (later the Taichung Line).
After that, the iron bridge and Longxi Bridge in Saga collapsed due to a large earthquake that occurred in central Taiwan on April 21, 1935. After the earthquake, a new bridge was built on the west side.
Over time, the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake struck, and the area was further damaged and partly collapsed. You can still protect and observe the situation as a "921 earthquake memorial".
Ivy of trees wraps around the ruins, making you feel a long time.
In 1998, after the operation of the Former Mountain Line was abolished, the abandoned track was preserved and redeveloped, and Taiwan's first "Rail Bike Former Mountain Line Railway Bicycle" was launched. Currently, there are 3 courses, and many people are busy on holidays.
This is a must-visit spot when visiting Central Taiwan

Miaoli in central Taiwan reached its peak flowering season in mid-November. The chrysanthemum festival was held on 11 / 14-15 and was crowded with many customers.
The white chrysanthemum has a round shape like a pompon chrysanthemum, and the yellow one has elongated petals and is large.
This chrysanthemum is used not only for appreciation but also for tea and food.
Tongluo, which has a large temperature difference between day and night, high humidity, and red soil, is suitable for growing chrysanthemums and has a history of more than 50 years. For the past 10 years, we have also been focusing on pesticide-free cultivation, and you can enjoy the natural flavor of the products produced here with peace of mind.
Since it is non-caffeine, it does not interfere with sleep at night even if you drink it in the afternoon.
I learned from the local people that it has the effect of helping indigestion, mental stability, and liver function.
According to Japanese edible chrysanthemum research, it is said to have effects such as suppressing carcinogenicity and lowering cholesterol / triglyceride.
In addition to the standard tea, there were also rare products such as chrysanthemum beer on sale.
If you see Miaoli chrysanthemum tea (copper pile white chrysanthemum), please give it a try!

At present, in Xinpu Township of Hsinchu, autumn taste dried persimmons are actively made.
Unlike Japanese hanging persimmons, they are made by arranging persimmons on a flat, round net.
The finished dried persimmon is in Chinese and is called persimmon mochi.
The scenery of bright orange persimmons lined up is very beautiful, and people from all over the world come to see this scenery.
At the Kinhan Kakimochi Educational Farm that I visited this time, you can also do DIY such as persimmon astringent dyeing. Select the prepared pattern and use a brush to layer the persimmon tannin liquid and acetic acid in a circular motion.
I'm really looking forward to the future as the color will change as I use it.
Why don't you visit the dried persimmon village on the Finemakers charter?
