This is the second time I have visited Dasuke by Sakemaru.
When I first visited, it was before it was recommended by Michelin. The overall impression at that time was quite good, with bright dishes and reasonable prices.
This time I happened to be in class nearby, so I took advantage of the opportunity to visit.
However, when I passed by the store on Saturday night, I saw that there were almost no other guests in the bar area, and my heart was actually half cold; after I actually finished eating, I can only say...the gap was bigger than expected.

Introduction to the menu of Dasuke by Sakemaru
Hiroshima Oyster Clay Pot Cooking Rice
Compared with the last time, the changes this time are quite obvious.
The amount of mushrooms has increased, but the particles of oysters have become significantly smaller.
Although the oysters are still fat and sweet, the vision and satisfaction are not as good as they used to be.First visit, It is inevitable that people will feel a little disappointed.
Saury sashimi
To be honest, the sight of saury sashimi in November is a bit surprising in itself.
But as expected, the flavor has obviously gone downhill.
The saury eaten in other restaurants in September is at its fattest period.；
And this time the autumn saury, the oil and freshness have been discolored, leaving only the barely existing at the end of the season.
Peeled chili chicken wings
This is a product I liked very much last time, so I am looking forward to it this time.
But the result was the most disappointing one this time.
The outer skin, which was originally presented by barbecue, has been changed to deep-fried this time.；
The noodles have no characteristics, and the chicken wings themselves have no taste.，
The flavor of the peeled chili was not well brought out, and the memory point was completely lost.
Fried fruit corn
In contrast, this performance is well-behaved.
The corn is cut into larger pieces than before, and the taste is solid，
In a series of fried objects, it can indeed slightly disperse the greasy feeling, but it doesn't stop there.
Baizi Tempura
On the contrary, this dish is one of the few dishes that make people feel adjusted this time.
The last time I ate it was the thickened form of Yangdai Baizi. At that time, I personally didn't like the creamy taste.
After changing to the form of tempura this time, the noodles were fried quite crispy. With the tempura sauce, the greasy feeling of Baizi itself was successfully neutralized. It is a relatively high degree of completion in this meal.
Overall dining experience and personal feelings
The service staff at the bar is still enthusiastic, and this time they also entertained a small glass of sparkling sake, which is worthy of affirmation.
But the core of the restaurant is cooking after all.
When the completion of the dishes themselves drops significantly, no matter how good the attitude is, it can't make up for the gap in the overall experience.
This second visit made me deeply feel the distance between "memory plus points" and "reality gap".
The quality of the cuisine is unstable, and a few dishes that originally had highlights have regressed. This meal seems out of focus, and the reason for returning to visit again is lost.
In Taipei, an environment where there are more and more choices of Japanese izakaya and kappo, stability is the most difficult key to ignore.
