Zhongshan North Road Shopping District Introduction
The culture of Tiaotong on Zhongshan North Road originates from the Japanese occupation period. The street is lined with various Japanese snack bars and pubs, making it a favorite spot for many Japanese expatriates and tourists, with an exotic ambiance that has continued since the colonial era, closely intertwined with Taiwan's history. To this day, Tiaotong retains a strong Eastern vibe, featuring not only izakayas and kaiseki restaurants but also numerous Japanese home-style dishes such as stewed potatoes with meat, oden, unagi don, and grilled meats, all contributing to the nostalgic flavors of old Tokyo. The collection of Taiwanese-Japanese cuisines here also reflects Taiwan's culinary culture from past to modern times, with Qitiaotong being the birthplace of Taiwan's grilled meat culture.
