Spring symbolizes new beginnings and the flourishing of all things. At the start of the year, Shiang Yun Long Yin has specially selected unique produce from the transition between winter and early spring, highlighting the flavors of new sprouts just emerging from the earth before spring arrives. This season also features bountiful seafood that has endured the cold winter and stored up energy over the season. Head chef Hieida has chosen ingredients such as bamboo shoots from Nantou’s Mengzong bamboo groves, white pomfret, and mullet roe, using the “knife skills” of Japanese cuisine to showcase the unique vitality of spring.

In addition, Shiang Yun Long Yin’s chef Hieida Ryohei, during his more than two years in Taiwan, has gained a deep understanding of the regional produce and seasonal changes across different parts of Taiwan by constantly visiting local farmers and markets, making surprising discoveries each season. This season, he has specially selected tomatoes grown using toxin-free farming methods in Tainan. The various types of tomatoes each offer distinct flavors. The tomatoes are lightly dried to concentrate their essence into a rich taste, then combined with the concept of Peru’s traditional Ceviche salad and Japanese culinary techniques. A sauce made with kelp and lemon juice enhances the umami of the seafood. With simple seasoning, one can enjoy a delicious blend of flavors from the land and the sea.
