一冠割烹 Yikuan Kappo — Restaurant in Taipei

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this omakase restaurant in Taipei, and I must say, it was an experience beyond my expectations.

One of the first things that struck me was the incredible variety of dishes that were presented throughout the meal. Each course was meticulously crafted and thoughtfully curated, showcasing the chef's expertise and creativity.

The plating of the dishes was nothing short of exceptional. Every plate was a work of art, beautifully arranged with great attention to detail. The presentation not only delighted the eyes but also heightened the anticipation of what was to come. It was evident that the chefs put their heart and soul into every dish, ensuring that each bite was a true reflection of authenticity and flavor.

The chefs skillfully balanced traditional flavors with innovative techniques, creating a harmonious blend of familiar and unexpected tastes. It was a delightful adventure for the palate, keeping me engaged and excited throughout the meal.

The chefs themselves were not only talented but also incredibly friendly. They took the time to explain each dish, sharing their passion for the cuisine and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Their enthusiasm and knowledge added an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience, making it all the more memorable.

Both the raw and hot dishes were presented with great finesse. The freshness and quality of the ingredients were evident in every bite.

Overall, my experience at this omakase restaurant in Taipei was truly exceptional. The price per value and quality surpassed my expectations, and I left the restaurant already planning my next visit.

整體評價：★★★★

先說結論：魚鮮味足、味道搭配佳、醋飯超神

人生第一次吃的高檔日料

可能平時都吃平價迴轉壽司，所以一直覺得在日料這領域自己應該吃不出差異性（如：很多人說藏壽司、壽司郎比爭鮮好，但我始終吃不吃出差異），在吃一冠割烹之前，可能吃的最好的日料只停在瞞著爹壽司丼了（也覺得差不多XD）。

說歸說，但還是想嘗試一下不同等級的日料，詢問飯友的推薦，他說：

「4月12日我有包場一冠割烹，要不你也報名來吃。」

然後我就參加了XD

一冠割烹價位有2500/3800/5500三個價位（+10%），此次是吃3800價位的，主廚說也因為包場，所以菜色上會比一般的3800還要好一點，暗自慶幸自己這次是跟對了XD。

吃完的感想只能說「驚為天人」，在此之前吃過的平價日料根本如同餿水，不禁懷疑為什麼我可以忍受這麼久的時間。

綜整喜歡的點：

《斷筋》

生魚片最不喜歡吃到魚的筋，每次吃魚肉嚼到咬不斷的筋都會令人煩躁，也可能因為是這樣，所以鮭魚才會受這麼多人歡迎(？)。

有錢能使鬼推磨，畢竟是高檔日料，在一冠割烹所有的料理中，99%吃不到筋，剩下的1%是鮪魚大腹，有吃到非常些微的筋，有點可惜，但是鮪魚大腹鮮美軟嫩的肉質彌補了這點。

《菜色味道驚豔、食材處理用心》

菜色食材搭配，味道會互相襯托，尤其海膽搭配魚肉的料理令人超驚豔，大部分遇到海膽的處理方法就是直接吃，除了吃鮮味外好像就沒有特別有趣的味道了，但是這搭配魚肉一起吃下去，海膽的鮮美、魚肉的甘甜加上點綴的些許洋蔥，讓味道層次超豐富，好吃到讓人懷疑人生。

「章魚」（應該是章魚吧?）是另一個在平價日料中不喜歡的食材，嚼起來硬又沒味道之外，如果是握壽司的話，一定會和下面的飯脫離。但一冠割烹也解決了這問題，現撈現殺的活章魚有口感但又不失軟嫩，超好吃。

「魚肉」多數皆有額外處理，可能用火在表皮烤過，或者過個炭火，讓食物高於常溫一點的微溫口感，保留生食但除去了吃多後會吃到噁心的感覺，尤其是鮪魚大腹，油脂香、炭香、米飯香在嘴巴中化開，好吃到快哭了。

《醋飯》 來一冠割烹前，我一直認為醋飯是壽司丼飯領域的難解題，通常平價日料店，醋飯味道會掩蓋過食材，要不然就是味道分離，食材歸食材、醋飯歸醋飯；搞的醋飯定位很尷尬，放了，醋酸味吃起來不舒服、不放，又像少了什麼。

但一冠割烹直接刷新我三觀！

在用餐一開始，因為飯友多次造訪和主廚有點小熟，主廚和飯友說：

「你上次說比較喜歡酸一點的醋飯，這次有用的酸一點」

本來聽到這句話我還擔心了一下，但在第一口握壽司吃下去後我內心想法是「沒有很酸阿？反而應該說根本沒酸味」，不止我這樣想，我也聽到其它的飯友小聲討論飯沒有酸的聲音。（所以應該不是我味覺失靈XD）

但我也沒想很多，因為飯整體的濕度、溫度、鬆軟度掌握的非常好，加上魚肉的甘美，每道握壽司的口感跟味道都非常好，所以就沒去多想這件事了。

整頓吃下來，只能說魚肉真的優秀、口感順、味道濃，可能「旨味」就是指這種味道吧。也因為魚肉旨味濃郁，在離開前，問了主廚他們家的「魚肉是不是有熟成過？」所以鮮度才會這麼高。主廚笑著回答說，他們家都是新鮮的魚貨，沒有放置熟成；讓魚肉這麼甘美的原因在「醋」，這就是他們的讓新鮮魚肉吃起來有旨味的秘訣，之後隨即拿了一搓醋飯給我。

我想說「今晚吃的握壽司就沒吃到醋味，怎麼魚肉的旨味和醋飯有關了？」

在半信半疑的狀況下，我把醋飯塞入口中。

「乾…醋飯真的有酸！」

明明整場下來吃不出酸味的醋飯，單獨空口吃才吃的出酸味；跟搭配海鮮做成握壽司時，轉身藏在食材身後，托捧食材特色，原來...醋飯可以如此出色。

總結： 這頓飯是讓我這日料小白刷新三觀的一餐，真的好吃，當然不是沒缺點，但是瑕不掩瑜，對於新手來說，是會讓人喜歡上日料的一家餐廳。

《不愛菜色》 1.味噌湯：過於普通而且好鹹 2.沙丁魚捲：整體味道被醃漬嫩薑搞爛，導致只吃的到醃漬嫩薑的酸味。 3.松葉蟹握壽司：覺得可以用其他蟹種代替，松葉蟹本身的肉質細...

Omakase. If you have a problem communicating Japanese to the Japanese chef in Japan during Omakase, do consider Taipei especially if you speak some mandarin (luckily I think I can hold a conversation). Leaving the fresh seafood aside, the winning items for me during this Omakase were the Monkfish Liver Waffle and the beef tongue onset egg. There are 3 prices to choose from and this was the highest tier at 5500twd. Reservations...
