✨ AI Visit Note
庸人串燒 松江本店 Yong Ren Yakitori is on Songjiang Road in Taipei’s 中山區, within reach of Songjiang Nanjing by heading toward Guang Hua Digital Plaza. This izakaya focuses on charcoal-grilled skewers, Japanese dishes, and drinks. The compact storefront has the feel of a small Japanese neighborhood spot, with a menu ranging from skewers and fried dishes to noodles and rice—good for after-work drinks, group dinners, or anyone wanting a few hot plates with alcohol.
● Cat Rice
Cat rice is white rice topped generously with bonito flakes, shredded nori, and other garnishes. The steam releases the bonito aroma, while the rice itself stays simply seasoned. It pairs especially well with richer skewers or fried dishes and also works as a basic staple to share at the table.
● Mentaiko Cream Udon
The udon picks up a rich white sauce, with buttery creaminess first and the salty savor of mentaiko following. The noodles stay springy and hold the sauce well. The flavor has layers without becoming merely heavy, making it a satisfying staple alongside the skewers.
● Creamy Crab-Claw Croquette
The croquette is fried golden and crisp, with potato and buttery richness inside. A crab claw is left attached at the end, giving it a distinctive look and a little extra crab meat to eat. As a hot fried dish, it is best shared right away with the other skewers.
● Glazed Whole Squid
A whole squid is cooked with a sweet-savory glaze, leaving grill marks on the surface while keeping the flesh springy and easy to bite. Lemon is served alongside; squeeze on a little when you want a fresher note that shifts the balance between glaze, seafood, and acidity.
For a group, share skewers and fried dishes, then add cat rice or Mentaiko Cream Udon for a staple. Daily specials are written on the blackboard, so check them before ordering. Seating is limited, so a reservation is easier to manage when dining with a larger group.
