Shu Xia Shaved Ice · Dango Specialty Store Introduction
The owner of Shuxia Shaved Ice and Dango Specialty Store is a member of the generation born in the 1970s. He mentioned that back then there was no Korean wave, only a fascination with Japan. After becoming an adult, he visited Japan 13 times over the course of 10 years, and what he couldn't forget was the dango he had in the old streets of Kyoto and Nara. Upon returning to Taiwan, he tried various restaurants that served dango, but the texture was similar to Taiwan's "Bai Yu" glutinous rice balls. He decided to try making it himself! After consulting Japanese friends and conducting countless experiments, he found the best ratio of glutinous rice mixed with non-glutinous rice and paired it with his own crafted sauces, finally achieving the texture of Japanese dango that he remembered. In addition to the classic soy sauce flavor, he has also developed a seasonal fruit series, unexpectedly discovering that peaches and Japanese dango can complement each other. Shuxia Shaved Ice's emphasis on Japanese DNA evokes memories of travel: the blue sky over Mount Fuji, Uji Kintoki in Kyoto, thick milk roasted tea from Nara, chocolate milk flavor from Tokyo, fragrant lemon from Hiroshima, and even the eerie darkness of the black grass from Onigashima... paired with seasonal scene designs at the entrance, recreating the nostalgic scenes of Japan.
