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.

IMG 2979 scaled e1780387463556

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.

IMG 2986 scaled e1780387496861

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.

IMG 2993 scaled e1780387521127

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.

IMG 2982 scaled e1780387595698

Water needle

Sprinkle with citrus peel, the fragrance has a brightening effect.

IMG 2984 scaled e1780387624742

Matsukawa Plaice

Ordinary performance.

IMG 2994 scaled e1780387645294

Soft silk

With algae salt and ceviche, it is refreshing and clean.

IMG 2998 scaled e1780387664408

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.

IMG 3005 scaled e1780387699494

Bai Gan

It has tendons and has a poor taste.

IMG 3009 scaled e1780387720750

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.

IMG 3010 scaled e1780387746490

Big belly

IMG 3014 scaled e1780387789339

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.

IMG 3012 scaled e1780387829417

Salmon belly

ordinary

IMG 3016 scaled e1780387854411

Red throat

Because the front is full of heavy flavors, this one is too plain.

IMG 3019 scaled e1780387877960

Red sea urchin

It's delicious, but the serving size is very small.

IMG 2974 scaled e1780387907425

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.

Choosy Chou

Hi, this is Chou Chou. Because I have always been "picky" about good things, I founded Choosy Chou to record and share the food, flavors and travel experiences that are truly worthy of being remembered. I am a food and flavor explorer, from street food to Michelin restaurants, from hidden bars to boutique cafes, I like to use my professional senses to taste, understand and compare, rather than just taking pictures and checking in. I have WSET Wine Level 2, WSET Sake Level 1, SSI Sake Navigator, and Coffee CSP Sensory Skill Foundation licenses. I hope to use a more systematic way to show you the flavor value behind a glass of wine and a dish. I have traveled to many countries such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. I believe that the most authentic language in the world is hidden on the table and in the cup. Choosy is not picky, but an insistence on the quality of life. You are welcome to join me in savoring the world with higher standards.
