After the opening of Taiwan’s No. 1 store — Hanshin Dome Store in Kaohsiung — in April 2017, it welcomed many customers for several consecutive days. As a result, sales in May reached 2.6 times the initial target, marking a strong start. At its peak, the No. 1 store alone sold up to 5,000 of its signature dumplings per day.

In order to offer “Japanese-style dumplings as a side dish” in Taiwan — the home of dumplings — the store conducted repeated research, understanding the preferences of Taiwanese customers while also adapting Japanese dumpling-eating styles. The result of these efforts is the popular dumpling set meal, which pairs rice with dumplings.

The No. 2 store has opened as a shop within the food court, not only featuring 32 seats inside the store but also with many additional seats in the food court area, providing the convenience of being able to enjoy Dumpling King at any time. In terms of overall concept, the food court store, like the No. 1 store, centers around a Japanese-inspired design. Its refined layout was conceived for future scalability, with adaptability for various types of store formats.

Operating Dumpling King in Taiwan since April 2017, both its signature dishes — dumplings and noodles — use the same ingredients as in Japan, including 100% Hokkaido-produced wheat flour. The store maintains the same quality as in Japan while also developing exclusive dishes for Taiwan. The No. 2 store’s exclusive NEMU Hokkaido soy sauce ramen uses noodles made from 100% Hokkaido wheat flour.
