The Taste of Time: A Flavor Lab in Hengchun Peninsula: I-fung Seaweed Paste x Dian-dian
Step into the heart of Hengchun Old Town, where I-fung Seaweed Paste x Dian-dian have come together to create The Taste of Time: A Flavor Lab – presenting you the culinary experimentation rooted in local taste with hot rice and great sauces.
The journey begins with a short branding film introducing I-fung's legacy since 1963—its devotion to sun-dried green seaweed and traditional "tsukudani"(つくだに) techniques. Then, take part in a blind-tasting game to rediscover what truly makes a seaweed paste delicious, paired with our signature drink "Gift of the Sea" to awaken your palate.
The highlight of the experience: each guest receives a warm bowl of rice, slow-cooked with care, and a selection of toppings to create your personal three-style tasting set. Beyond classics like Ochazuke and TKG(Tamago Kake Gohan), you'll also explore unexpected pairings—toast, crackers, and handmade snacks—proving that green seaweed paste isn't just for rice, but a versatile companion to every meal.
To conclude, every participant will receive a limited-edition wooden Hengchun Yueqin(Moon Guitar) Keychain, engraved with the event name and date—an exclusive keepsake never for sale, only gifted. Most importantly, you'll leave with a refreshed perspective on Taiwan's "taste of time" and a delicious inspiration to bring home to your own table.
