Taipei City Hall reopened on February 27 as a café and event venue, reviving the charm of its beautiful Japanese colonial-era architecture. The elegant and simple interior is also highly admired, offering visitors a tranquil spot for afternoon tea. The classical Rose Garden cultural and creative team that has moved in developed special menu items inspired by the Meiji-period historical and cultural background — one standout being their specially designed lucky cat ice treats, which have amazed visitors.

Lucky cats are common mascots in Japan, and different poses symbolize different types of luck. Typically, a lucky cat with its left paw raised invites customers, while its right paw holding a koban gold coin (symbolizing wealth) represents good fortune and prosperity; a right paw raised signifies peace and happiness. The design of Taipei City Hall’s lucky cat special ice features the classic image of a cat with its left paw raised and its right holding a koban — perfect for cooling off with a sweet treat and snapping a fun photo to add a memorable touch to your trip.
