Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

The New Sogo Japan Product Fair officially launched on the 28th. This time, New Sogo specially visited well-known local shops in Hokkaido, Okinawa, and other regions to invite a variety of authentic Japanese foods to Taiwan, including Osaka’s century-old Jiyoken, where you can enjoy their signature half-boiled sunny-side-up egg curry rice without leaving the country.

The food stalls at this New Sogo Japan Product Fair are also a highlight. New Sogo especially recommends the Top 6 Authentic Japanese Foods, which include Kagoshima Ramen Champion Gorouya’s Cabbage Ramen, Jimotoya’s Rich Shrimp Head Ramen, Oita’s Bungoya Chicken Rice, Osaka Jiyoken’s Half-Boiled Sunny-Side-Up Egg Curry Rice (signature curry), Wakayama Shuzo Ramen’s Kishu Binchotan Ramen, and Kobe’s Akashiyaki from Hamanomiya.

Additionally, this Japan Product Fair features less-common Japanese-style afternoon teas and ice creams, including Oita’s popular dessert Kiku-ya, Sapporo’s super-popular mochi shop Imotennou’s Imagawayaki, Kumamoto’s Hana Aso Mitsu, Hakodate’s Fuji Ice’s Dewazakura Sake Lees Ice Cream, and Hokkaido Agricultural Cooperative Association’s Melon Soft Serve.
