Cold noodles made with lemon and grapefruit are a unique find for the summer. Amidst the array of gourmet options, nothing quite compares to the refreshing tanginess of this bowl of noodles.
It wasn’t part of the plan, but after 17 days in Japan, really missing Taiwanese noodles and milk tea. Taking the boys to Chun Shui Tang for some Chinese food!
Chun Shui Tang . Japan’s exclusive flavors are worth a try.
Lots of unique dishes here that you won’t find in Taiwan! Japan offers a wide range of main courses, while Taiwan shines with its snack and tea options. Plus, the décor blends Chinese and Japanese Zen styles.
We arrived at the restaurant as soon as it opened and chose a table near the window.
The stone material stands out in a minimalist space, not only for its aesthetics but also for its practicality in creating a cozy atmosphere that remains cool in summer and warm in winter.
The noodle menu is impressive, featuring Japanese-style soupy noodles and the popular spicy Dan Dan noodles. Options like sesame noodles with sakura shrimp and bamboo shoots, and pickled cabbage with pork noodles are enticing.
Taiwanese-style Fried Sauce Noodles: Minced pork belly stir-fried with tofu, sweet bean sauce, and chili paste, served with chewy noodles, cucumber, pea shoots, and a half-cooked egg, offering a unique sweet-spicy taste.
In recent years in Japan, dishes featuring fruit-infused “noodles” have become popular. Soup bases made from bonito flakes from Kyushu, kombu from Hokkaido’s Rishiri Island, dried small fish from Aomori, and mushrooms are transformed into cold soups, offering vibrant and complex flavors.
Since we’re in Japan, we must try the most authentic Japanese matcha. The addition of barley leaf green juice adds another layer of flavor, and the chewiness of the pearls is just like in Taiwan.
Summer is the perfect season for refreshing desserts like mango lemon aiyu jelly! So, we ordered a bowl of this unique ice treat from Shinsui Tang in Japan—mango lemon aiyu jelly ice.
Next time you’re in Japan, why not try the Shinsui Tang Japan and see how it differs from the version in Taiwan!
