Barley and Wheat Introduction
With a Japanese chef at the helm, "Da Mai Xiao Mai" in Chiayi is the only official SUNTORY Master Shop where the best beer experience begins with the first sip. The froth is abundant, and the mouthfeel of the beer is outstanding. The quality of the froth determines the height of a glass of draft beer. Legendary for its top-tier frothy draft beer, Chiayi offers this delight at the only location certified by SUNTORY, featuring authentic Japanese tapas that pair perfectly with this divine beer. In order to promote genuine Japanese izakaya culture and avoid consumer misunderstandings, the reservation webpage includes some "usage notes," strongly suggesting that non-drinkers may not find it suitable, and it should not be mistaken for a typical Japanese restaurant. Da Mai Xiao Mai does not serve sushi, chawanmushi, or just yakitori. The owners want to provide a dining environment that even if a person comes alone after work, they can casually enjoy a drink with some appetizers. Recommended dishes include the must-have wasabi octopus, teriyaki chicken skin, and cabbage salad, along with seasonal dishes prepared by the chef. The boss's wife disclosed that they will be introducing top-grade free-range chickens from Alishan, featuring golden skin and chewy meat that food enthusiasts will surely love.
