Barley & Wheat Introduction
With a Japanese chef at the helm, "Da Mai Xiao Mai" is Chiayi's only official SUNTORY master store where the beer experience is at its best with the first sip. The foam is luscious, and the taste of the beer is fantastic. The quality of the foam determines the excellence of draft beer. Legend has it that the top-tier divine foamy draft beer is now available in Chiayi. As the only establishment certified by SUNTORY, "Da Mai Xiao Mai" offers a variety of authentic Japanese appetizers that pair perfectly with their divine foamy draft beer. To promote genuine Japanese izakaya culture and avoid misunderstandings among consumers, the reservation webpage includes some "Usage Guidelines." It is strongly recommended that non-drinkers do not visit, and that this place not be mistaken for a regular Japanese restaurant, as "Da Mai Xiao Mai" does not serve sushi, chawanmushi, or just skewers. The owners hope to provide a dining environment where even a single person can unwind after work with a drink and some appetizers. Recommended appetizers include the must-try wasabi octopus, teriyaki chicken skin, and cabbage salad, along with seasonal dishes announced by the chef. The owner revealed plans to introduce premium free-range chicken from Alishan, known for its golden skin and chewy texture, which will surely delight food aficionados.
