Barley and Wheat Introduction
With a Japanese chef at the helm, "Dai Mai Xiao Mai" is the only SUNTORY Certified Master Beer shop in Chiayi. The best part of the beer is the first sip, with rich foam and an excellent mouthfeel. The quality of the foam determines the height of a draft beer. The legendary top-quality divine foam draft beer can be enjoyed in Chiayi as well. This establishment is the only one certified by SUNTORY and offers a variety of authentic Japanese snacks that pair perfectly with divine foam draft beer. To promote genuine Japanese izakaya culture and avoid misunderstandings, the reservation webpage lists some "usage notes", strongly suggesting that guests who do not drink alcohol may not find it suitable here, and it should not be mistaken for a typical Japanese restaurant. Dai Mai Xiao Mai does not serve sushi, chawanmushi, or only grilled skewers. The owners aim to provide a dining environment that allows guests, even if dining alone after work, to enjoy a drink and some snacks in a relaxed setting. Recommended snacks include the must-try wasabi octopus, teriyaki chicken skin, and cabbage salad, along with seasonal dishes created by the chef. The owner revealed that they will introduce top-quality free-range chickens from Alishan, featuring golden skin and a chewy texture that food lovers will adore.
