TaichungMiyahara

Miyahara occupies a restored 1927 red-brick eye clinic near the Taichung train station. Inside, towering dark wood bookshelves rise toward a high ceiling decorated with intricate stained glass. The space feels like a vintage library filled with brass fixtures and retro wooden counters.
Visitors come to buy traditional Taiwanese pineapple cakes packaged like classic literature. The shop also serves signature ice cream with toppings like handmade suncakes and local honey. Standing in this historic hall connects you to the local heritage of Taichung.

nightlife
Behind a concealed bookshelf inside a quiet noodle shop lies this intimate, dark-timbered speakeasy. Soft lighting reflects off polished glassware while low jazz music fills the dim room. Locals gather along the wooden bar to enjoy bespoke cocktails crafted by expert bartenders.
Rather than using a set menu, bartenders design bespoke cocktails based on your personal preferences. Guests start their evening with a warm cup of rich vegetable broth served upon arrival. The refined space invites you to lose track of time over deep conversations and masterfully mixed drinks.
