THE STORY

The story behind this place

1953 SINCE

From a Nanjing West Road shop to Dihua Street wagashi

Tzu Yang began in 1953 as a small Nanjing West Road shop selling groceries and bread. After the second generation took over in 1961, it began making wagashi and studied confectionery in Kyoto. The craft later continued on Dihua Street, gradually combining with Taiwanese red beans, glutinous rice, and seasonal fruit.

Strawberry Daifuku MetroBites visit photo

Strawberry Daifuku

Soft mochi surrounds textured ogura red-bean paste, while a whole strawberry adds acidity, sweetness, and moisture. Three textures reveal the union of wagashi craft and Taiwanese produce.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Taiwanese flavor grown from wagashi in Dadaocheng

Tzu Yang retains Japanese daifuku and kneaded-paste structures but builds flavor with Taiwanese red beans, Taitung glutinous rice, and seasonal strawberries. It is not simply transplanted Japanese confectionery, but a local version formed after decades in Taipei.

✨ AI quick restaurant review

Tzu Yang Wagashi is a representative Japanese confectionery veteran on Dihua Street in Dadaocheng, solid, enduring, and traditionally meticulous. Strawberry daifuku, monaka, and dorayaki each stand out. Its old-street location works for a gift box, tea, or a dessert pause, making it a dependable choice.

Uncle's saying: a veteran's strength is not tricks; every bite shows fundamentals and honest confectionery work.
Important note: Tzu Yang is around Dihua Street in Dadaocheng, walkable from Daqiaotou Station. Shared bicycles are convenient from Beimen. The shop blends old-street architecture and suits both dine-in and takeaway.
● Strawberry Daifuku

A popular seasonal item with soft, elastic mochi and glutinous-rice aroma, never dry or hard. Textured ogura red-bean paste tastes clearly of beans with restrained sweetness, while fresh strawberry adds acidity and completes the layers. Eat it fresh for the best flavor and texture.

💡 Refined little note

First-timers should buy strawberry daifuku in season; dorayaki and pineapple cake travel better. Assorted gift boxes also make convenient Dihua Street souvenirs.

  • The shop is on Section One, Dihua Street, Datong District, Taipei, easy to include while exploring old Dadaocheng.
  • It specializes in Japanese wagashi and room-temperature sweets, including strawberry daifuku, monaka, dorayaki, and pineapple cake.
  • Indoor seats and an outdoor arcade combine Japanese sensibility with old-street atmosphere.
  • Good for gift-seeking travelers, Japanese-sweet fans, and walkers wanting a snack break on Dihua Street.

📌 Editor's conclusion

Tzu Yang succeeds through honest wagashi fundamentals rather than gimmicks. Fresh monaka, seasonal strawberry daifuku, and portable dorayaki and pineapple cake each have a clear role. While walking Dadaocheng or Dihua Street, it is a worthy veteran for both sitting down and buying gifts.
