Located on the 5th floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A4 in Taipei City, 'Kenmitsuya' is famous for its Unagi Don. Besides ordering à la carte, we highly recommend trying their set meals, which allow you to enjoy a variety of classic and must-try dishes all at once. This time, we chose Set A, which includes five dishes: 🌟 Seared Sushi: The flounder sushi melts in your mouth, and two pieces are just not enough! 🌟 Angus Beef Ribs: The boneless beef ribs are paired with a salty-sweet teriyaki sauce, making them more flavorful with each bite. 🌟 Truffle Abalone: A whole abalone with a super chewy texture, drizzled with truffle cream sauce. 🌟 Grilled Unagi Don: The classic must-eat Unagi Don, with white eel brushed with a salty-sweet sauce, served with chewy rice. You can't stop at just one bite. 🌟 Sweet Soup: Ginger sweet potato soup, perfect for warming you up in winter. 🌟 Additionally, we ordered kimchi on the side. The sweet and sour kimchi pairs perfectly with the beef ribs and unagi!

If you are a person who loves eel rice, then you must go to Kenmochiya in the A4 building of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi in Xinyi, Taipei, a Japanese eel rice specialty store opened by a Japanese eel craftsman. The eel rice at Kenmochi-ya is made with fresh eel, which goes through five processes: cutting, breaking, grilling, steaming, and grilling again. It is then topped with a special sauce and served on white rice. Every bite is crispy and fragrant. There are two options for eel rice at Kenmochi-ya. One is grilled eel rice with a sweeter sauce, which is suitable for people who like strong flavors; the other is white grilled eel rice with a lighter sauce, which is suitable for people who like the original flavor. Each serving of eel rice is grilled to order and takes about 30 minutes to prepare, but while you’re waiting, you can enjoy a free bottle of liver-nourishing tea, a drink made from a combination of various herbs that can aid digestion and protect the liver. The restaurant of Kenmochi-ya is not big, but it is clean and comfortable. The decoration is mainly wood and green, creating a natural and warm atmosphere. The service staff at Kenmochi-ya are also very kind and friendly. They will take the initiative to care about the guests' dining situation and replenish food and drinks in a timely manner. Kenmochiya is a restaurant where you can taste the craftsmanship of Japanese eel craftsmen. It is not just a meal, but an eel meal with history and flavor, allowing you to feel the tradition and culture while tasting the delicious food. If you are a traveler who loves to eat and play, then you must go to Kenmochiya to experience Taipei's dining culture and Japanese flavor.

There are only three restaurants on the fifth floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A4 Hall, and Kenmochiya is in the middle. On the right is the famous Godfather Steakhouse (I hope I can have this luxurious delicacy if I have the chance) On the other side is Night Shanghai. There are fewer restaurants and the atmosphere is relatively quiet. The atmosphere here makes people feel noble The entrance of Kenmochiya is quite spacious and easy to recognize. Since it is a Japanese restaurant, there is also a cherry blossom design You need to wait when you come here during meal time. We waited for about 20 minutes. Remember to make an appointment at the counter first
