Barley & Wheat Introduction
With a Japanese chef at the helm, "Da Mai Xiao Mai" is the only officially certified SUNTORY master bar in Chiayi, where the best enjoyment comes from the first sip of beer. The foam is rich, and the flavor of the beer is exceptional. The quality of the foam determines the greatness of a draft beer. You can taste the legendary top-notch draft beer in Chiayi, served at the only official SUNTORY master bar in the area. This establishment offers a variety of authentic Japanese snacks that pair perfectly with the divine draft beer. To promote the true Japanese izakaya culture and avoid misunderstandings, the reservation page includes a list of "usage notes," strongly recommending that non-drinkers may not find this place suitable, and it should not be mistaken for a typical Japanese restaurant. "Da Mai Xiao Mai" does not serve sushi, chawanmushi, or only skewers. The owner and his wife hope to provide a dining environment where even a single person can enjoy a drink and some snacks after work in a casual setting. Recommended snacks include the must-try wasabi octopus, teriyaki chicken skin, and cabbage salad, as well as seasonal dishes introduced by the chef. The owner’s wife revealed that they will be introducing top-notch free-range chicken from Alishan, offering a golden skin and chewy texture that food enthusiasts will love.
