Chen Yun Baoquan - Freedom Branch Introduction
Chen Yun Baoquan Ziyou Road Main Store is a century-old establishment that continues to innovate. The first generation, Mr. Chen Yun, sold pastries on Sanjiao Street in the current city area of Fengyuan during the Japanese occupation. In 1943, due to the exquisite craftsmanship and authentic flavors of the daifuku mochi made by the second generation, Mr. Chen Jinquan, it became very popular. Mr. Chen Jinquan established the "Baoquan Confectionery" in Tokyo, marking the origin of Baoquan. In 1975, the main store of Baoquan was established on Zhongzheng Road in Fengyuan's pastry street, managed by the third generation, Mr. Chen Zengxiong. He combined traditional Taiwanese and Japanese baking methods to improve traditional mooncakes and successfully developed new varieties such as small mooncakes and egg yolk pastries, which quickly gained fame. The fourth generation, Mr. Chen Kunhong, continued to develop exclusive products such as Lu Zhi Guo and Ri Yue Shao, reaching new heights in pastry-making skills. Over the years, the store has received numerous gold medal awards for excellent food evaluations and accolades such as the Taichung Specialty Store Award. In 2013, the original name "Baoquan" was combined with the first generation's name, becoming "Chen Yun Baoquan," to express gratitude for the origins and the technical and cultural heritage passed down through generations. The fourth generation, Chen Kunhong, studied pastry arts in Japan, and, together with the profound skills inherited through the generations, has become a master pastry chef, continually adapting to the trends of the times.
