KOURIN, AN AUTHENTIC JAPANESE RESTAURANT, JUST OPENED IN TAIPEI
On December 9th, leading Japanese hospitality company Fujita Kanko Inc. opened “Kourin,” a new Japanese restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan. It will be Fujita Kanko’s second restaurant in Taiwan, following Kinsui Taipei by Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, which opened in January this year. The company also plans to open its first Taipei hotel in 2019.
Located in the center of Taipei, Kourin will be a kappo-style restaurant, a popular style of Japanese dining, where chefs often cook in front of diners seated at a long counter and serve them directly. Designed in modern Japanese style, Kourin will feature 12 counter seats, two tables for four, and a semi-private space for up to six diners.
Menus, a la carte and omakase courses, include not only typical Japanese dishes such as sushi, sashimi and tempura, but also exquisitely prepared delicacies using fresh local ingredients. One signature dish will be prepared on a lava stone grill from Mt. Fuji. A large selection of Japanese sake and shochu will be available.
According to the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the number of Japanese restaurants outside Japan grew by 60% between January 2013 and July 2015, showing the popularity of Japanese cuisine.
