Mao Sheng Sushi Introduction
Charming Japanese Street Food Stall in Chiayi - A Classic Store Transformed into a Must-Visit Spot Located near Datong Elementary School in Chiayi City, at the intersection of Xinyi Road and Chenggong Street, two lanterns illuminate the corner, marked with the characters "Mao Sheng." This sushi shop, operating for over forty years, is a memory for many old-timers in Chiayi. After the second generation took over, they hired the renowned design firm "Ben-Shi Space Production" to renovate and plan the brand identity. This transformation turned a cozy community sushi stall into a modern vintage attraction on the streets of Chiayi, drawing young people and outside tourists alike. On weekends, the newly renovated Mao Sheng Sushi Shop often sees long lines, but on weekdays, it mainly serves local Chiayi customers. The image of the owner chatting with regular patrons at the sushi bar has changed its backdrop, but the warmth of friendship remains the same. When discussing the special features of the dishes, the chef at Mao Sheng remains true to a long-standing commitment to affordable Taiwanese-style Japanese cuisine. Classic favorites such as salads, sashimi, pork cutlets, and various side dishes are beloved by many customers. Curious if there’s a unique Chiayi element in the dishes? The surprising answer is "mayonnaise"! A private insider source reveals that the mayonnaise used at Mao Sheng is uniquely crafted, commissioned from a specific manufacturer, featuring exclusive "white vinegar" and has a very short shelf life, ensuring fresh supply.
