The charm of Taiwan coffee beans makes the Japanese deeply trapped.

A few years ago, Mr. Ito had an opportunity to drink a cup of coffee that he could not forget. After careful inquiry, he discovered that the coffee beans in this cup came from Alishan, Taiwan. From then on, a Japanese fell in love with Taiwanese coffee beans. He quit his original job and began to study how to roast Taiwanese coffee beans. His family even moved to Taiwan and opened a small coffee shop selling Taiwanese coffee beans.

Mr. Ito said that Taiwan's climate is very suitable for growing coffee.A coffee garden in Touliu, Yunlin, is a cooperative coffee farm inspired by Ito's sincerity. The garden is characterized by excellent quality, and the farm owner will roast the raw coffee beans for a short time before the coffee beans arrive at the store. This action is to remove moisture and maintain the aroma and quality of the fresh beans. After the beans arrive at the store, Mr. Ito will screen all the beans for quality. The method is to flatten all the beans and then remove the bad ones with the naked eye one by one. In this way, the high-quality coffee beans can be selected and roasted.

In order to maintain quality, from the selection of coffee gardens to the selection of fresh coffee beans, the roasting process must be done by yourself, because every step affects the taste of coffee. There are two ways to brew coffee in the shop, one is to use imported Italian coffee machine, this machine cost is not, internal control of water and temperature, can maintain a certain quality; The other is to use filter bag type to brew coffee, its principle is to use hot water directly on the coffee grinding powder with filter paper, seemingly simple in fact, but need to have considerable experience, more difficult than siphon coffee, its focus is on whether to control the amount of water and speed, to have considerable experience, in order to rush out a cup of coffee of a very high level.

Banqiao ATTS coffee is characterized by strong but mild coffee, because in the roasting process and brewing method skillfully, coffee even if cooled, will not bring sour, still maintain a warm and mellow smooth feeling. Because I love coffee, even my son Ito Atsushi is also a coffee fan. He obtained SCAJ professional coffee license in Japan. At present, only in Banqiao can I experience this professional good craft from Japan. Mr. Ito hopes that after the delicious taste of Taiwanese coffee is known to Taiwanese people, Taiwanese coffee can be promoted internationally in the future, so that foreigners can also taste the delicious taste of coffee beans on the island, and Taiwan and Japan can be connected to the world through coffee.

Mr. Ito specializes in the coffee in the shop, and Mrs. Ito arranges the dishes in the shop, which are characterized by dishes completely from Japanese families: "Shibuya Japanese dry curry" without adding a drop of water curry uses the moisture and sweetness of onions themselves, and when fried with pork, curry has a fruity flavor, which is the local characteristic of Shibuya. The stewed beef risotto is known in Japan as Hai Ya Xi, and the soft, tender beef has a slight red wine aroma, a flavor that can only be eaten in Taiwan's ATTS coffee. The pork sandwich is made of stewed pork cubes, served with fragrant cheese and lettuce, and because the pork has a strong marinade, it is quite a Japanese sandwich.

Japanese desserts are indispensable to praise,"cheese caramel pudding" is Kyoto famous pudding, fragrant cheese pudding and freshly poured thick caramel sauce, rare taste is always quickly killed by customers; Hokkaido soybeans and chocolate made of "soybean powder fudge" is a Japanese dessert with a lower sweetness, with a bite and soybean aroma, after pairing with coffee, sweet, let people not finish."Hokkaido coffee lamb soup" has a slight coffee aroma, slightly sweet lamb soup with the shop black coffee, complementary just right, black coffee slightly bitter and lamb soup unique taste, make you have a refreshing afternoon. After further questioning, I discovered that all the dishes and desserts in the restaurant were designed to highlight the deliciousness of coffee. I really admire the care and attention of the Japanese. (Photography/Zhang Xiaoyun)
