When sushi becomes a midnight ritual, is it a romantic or a physical test?
Zhidou is one of the hottest late-night sushi restaurants in Taipei recently.
In addition to Omakase during normal hours, the most attractive thing is that it is open every day at 23:00 for a late-night snack. This is quite rare in Taipei sushi circles and has become a secret base for many night cats.
When I arrived at 23:00 that day, a large group of people had already gathered at the door. After taking a seat, the store will first count the sushi items ordered by each guest one by one, and the chef will not start making them until everyone has finished ordering. Even the vinegar rice is prepared at this time.
This mode of starting with the audience makes dining a collective rhythm experience, but at the cost of：
When the first sushi was delivered to the entrance, it was close to 12 midnight.
For people with an early-going-to-bed physique, such a schedule is actually quite difficult. In addition, because it is a unified meal, sushi sometimes lasts for several consecutive times in one breath, but sometimes there are obvious gaps, and the rhythm is fast and slow, which can make people unconsciously eat until they want to sleep.

Introduction to the menu and dining experience of Zhidouえだまめ
Favorite San Guan
In this rhythm, there are still a few sushi that left a very deep impression on me.
Steamed live prawns
The live prawns are directly steamed after being processed on site, and the size is quite amazing.
The meat is Q-elastic and high in sweetness. It is the type that knows that the ingredients are good enough as soon as you eat it.
Hokkaido natural yellowtail
This time, two slices of yellowtail are superimposed on it. The fish flavor is very rich, but the fat distribution is quite balanced. It is not greasy or fishy. It is the most complete consistency of the night.
Roasted Hokkaido scallops
The cut is different from the common straight cut, but is petal-shaped. After roasting, the sweetness and aroma of scallops are completely released, and there are extra points for vision and taste at the same time. It is always the case that you will want to order more.
Other sushi performance
Because it is an à la carte system, the master cannot arrange the overall flavor like Omakase, so there will be situations where "greasy fish species burst" or "heavy taste followed by light fish species but can't taste" during the meal.
This kind of rhythm problem is actually the biggest contradiction in Zhidou's supper scene.
Matsuba Crab
Stir with crab paste, and then wrap the bottom with kelp paper. The flavor is very strong.
Water needle
Sprinkle with citrus peel, the fragrance has a brightening effect.
Matsukawa Plaice
Ordinary performance.
Soft silk
With algae salt and ceviche, it is refreshing and clean.
Monkfish liver × figs
The effect is very good. Figs can indeed neutralize the oily feeling of the liver, but the proportion is slightly unbalanced, but the taste of figs is too strong.
Bai Gan
It has tendons and has a poor taste.
Charcoal grilled Kichizhi
It is paired with fruit vinegar carrot puree and seaweed wrap, but both of them overshadow the flavor of the fish itself.
Big belly
Fin side meat
Both the big belly and the big belly are rich in fat, and the vinegar rice will be more balanced if it can be a little more sour.
Salmon belly
ordinary
Red throat
Because the front is full of heavy flavors, this one is too plain.
Red sea urchin
It's delicious, but the serving size is very small.
Comb melon
The roast is just right, the water is tender and juicy, the oil fragrance and the sweetness of the vegetables are very clean.
Final Thoughts
Zhidou is a small shop run by only two people, so the slow pace of serving meals is actually understandable.
If you are a night cat and want to find a place where you can eat sushi slowly after drinking, the late-night atmosphere here will indeed be very attractive.
However, judging from the point of view of "the Internet says that the CP value is very high", my meal was a total of 3,360 (include cup washing), but I didn't actually feel that it was particularly cost-effective.
However, it is worth mentioning that their cup washing fee of $200 is quite Buddhist. This night I brought the New Deal No. 6 S-type to take sushi. The overall match is very good. It can be regarded as an extra point for this supper.
