Taiwan’s capital offers some of the best, most affordably priced Japanese food outside of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Taipei may have the best Japanese food in the world outside of Japan. The range and quality of the city’s authentic Japanese restaurants are exceptional. In the days before 24/7 mobile internet connectivity, this was one of Taipei’s kept-kept secrets. The iPhone and Instagram have changed that, raising the profile of high-end sushi restaurants where lunch can easily run NT$3,000 per head, and where dinner is often double that figure.
