The Grill Station: A Sizzling Feast

The Yatai event recreates the nostalgic atmosphere of a Japanese summer festival. At the heart of it all is the grill station, where chefs fire up charcoal-kissed soy-glazed squid, tender miso-glazed pork ribs, buttery grilled corn, and piping-hot okonomiyaki. On weekends, the experience is elevated with whole salt-grilled ayu sweetfish — a true seasonal delicacy.

Hot Food Counter: Japanese Classics Galore

The hot food station is equally impressive, featuring Japanese fried chicken (karaage), crispy chicken wings (tebasaki), and perfectly fried octopus legs. Beyond the fried offerings, diners will find Hokkaido-style creamy crab gratin, sesame beef sukiyaki, matsutake mushroom and truffle risotto, Wagyu hamburg steak, sesame sweet potato croquettes, Japanese-style stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and the ever-popular yakisoba pan — stir-fried noodles tucked into a soft bread roll.

Seafood & Desserts

The seafood counter boasts a showstopping sweet shrimp and salmon oyako-don, layering fresh salmon, glistening salmon roe, and sweet shrimp over vinegared rice made with prized Chishang rice from Taitung. For dessert, indulge in a parade of traditional Japanese sweets: mizu yokan (water agar jelly), grilled soy sauce dango, warabi mochi, Rikyu manju buns, brown sugar kuzukiri, daifuku, and — for the ultimate summer treat — Japanese-style shaved ice.
