明水三井, Japanese restaurant in Chenggong Village, Taiwan
Mitsui Cuisine sits on the second floor of a building along Mingshui Road with dark wood furnishings and both regular tables and a sushi counter. The layout offers flexibility for diners who prefer watching the chefs work or sitting at a table away from the bar.
The restaurant began as an extension of the Mitsui Group, which first entered Taiwan through a seafood market on this location. This connection between dining and the fish source nearby has shaped how the business operates.
The kitchen follows Japanese cooking traditions with skilled preparation of raw fish and fried dishes using seasonal ingredients. Diners can watch chefs work at the counter, making the craft of cooking visible and central to the meal.
The restaurant operates lunch and dinner seatings at different times throughout the day. Visitors should plan ahead since menu options range from more affordable to premium selections, allowing flexibility based on budget.
Fresh wasabi root is grated to order at the sushi counter and served alongside premium sashimi sourced from the adjacent market. This attention to freshness sets the meal apart from places using pre-prepared wasabi.
