A Hidden Gem of Taiwan in Shinagawa

'Yura' in Tokyo Shinagawa is a restaurant where you can taste authentic Taiwanese cuisine. The sign is modest, known only to the locals as a hidden gem, but through word of mouth, its reputation has spread and people come from far and wide.

Pursuing Authentic Flavors

The owner is from Taiwan. Based on hometown home-cooked dishes, each dish has been adjusted to suit the taste of the Japanese, and each one has an authentic flavor. Many dishes here use spices, so those who are not good with spiciness may find it a bit lacking. However, the umami, aroma, and spicy seasoning are superb. It's a must-visit for those seeking the 'Taiwanese flavor'.

What are the recommended menu items?

The 950 yen set meal is a popular menu at 'Yura'. It comes with plenty of dumplings. In particular, the flavor of the dumplings' juices spreading in the mouth is the iconic delicacy that creates repeat customers. Ramen and fried rice are also popular for their homely and simple flavors.

Enjoy the Unique Atmosphere

The interior is reminiscent of a Taiwanese tea house. You can immerse yourself in an exotic atmosphere while drinking Taiwanese beer that pairs well with the cuisine. Foreign staff in the restaurant may seem indifferent, but if you ask them questions in a friendly manner, they will respond politely. You can also experience a little bit of interesting foreign culture while enjoying your meal.
