Hui Bi Su Dessert Shop - Century Old Hualien Sweet Potato Origin Shop Introduction
Hundred-Year-Old Store ---- Hebi Su Bakery, the Origin of Hualien Sweet Potato【Hebi Su Bakery】was established in 1899 (32nd year of Meiji / 12 years before the Republic of China), and has a history of over a hundred years. "Hebi Su" is one of the Seven Gods of Fortune in Japan, and the name was chosen during the Japanese occupation for its auspicious meaning and the idea of abundant wealth. The signature product 'Hualien Sweet Potato' underwent three years of careful development before it could be launched. As the final product is made entirely of filling without any outer skin, it was originally referred to as 'Filling Sweet Potato.' This product received multiple awards from the Emperor of Japan during the Taisho and Showa periods, and it became an offering to the Emperor at that time. The banners and medals preserved in the store are historical evidence of this honor. The traditional handmade production methods allow the old flavors of Hualien Sweet Potato, Hualien Yam, Millet Cake (Millet Mochi), and Sachima to continue to be passed down. Thoughtful research and improvements have also led to the creation of new Hualien specialties such as Mochi Cake, Yams Heart Sweet Potato Cake, Fresh Milk Cake, Huitstar Cake, Brown Sugar Q Heart Sweet Potato, and Brown Sugar Q Heart Yam, as well as two-color sweet potato sticks... etc., showcasing the new charm of the hundred-year-old Hebi Su in the new century.
