A. More traditional is the Today Only Sashimi Set (NT$720, 16 pieces), made with in-season seafood, pictured here with a hard-to-find, award-winning local craft/draft beer (NT$120 for 350 cc), plus an equally unique Helios Goya Dry bitter melon beer, brewed in Okinawa and quite good.
B. A good menu sampling includes the popular Diced Beef with Butter (NT$380), prepared with tender Angus beef, plus Golden Pickled Cabbage and Cherry Duck California Roll (NT$180, front center), and Fried Scallops with Basil Leaves (NT$250, left).
