Taiwan’s e-commerce industry is well-developed. Japanese company Meg Co., Ltd. has partnered with the Japan Agricultural Cooperatives and various local renowned stores, combining its experience in curating physical food culture exhibitions to carefully select a hundred kinds of high-quality Japanese goods. It has launched the “Japanese Food Travel” shopping platform, which officially went on sale at 12 noon on June 26.

The site offers a full range of 8 categories including rice, ramen, beverages, fresh produce, snacks and processed goods — covering rice, noodles, drinks, fresh fruits and vegetables, snacks and drinking snacks, side dishes and processed items, seasonings, and handicrafts. It gathers agricultural specialties and top-tier products from all over Japan, allowing consumers in Taiwan to purchase hard-to-find regional delicacies even locals struggle to get, all in real time, as well as access the latest Japanese food trends.

The first wave of highlighted products focuses on three major categories: “Hokkaido Rice,” “Specialty Ramen,” and “Aomori Scallops.”

Japanese rice has many fans in Taiwan. In addition to the most famous “Koshihikari” from Niigata, Hokkaido’s “Nanatsuboshi,” “Yume no Yoi,” and “Fukurin” have also ranked high in popularity in recent years.

The ramen craze in Taiwan shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, many well-known ramen shops offer instant versions that allow consumers to enjoy a variety of distinctive ramen flavors at home.
