Located in the 嘉义山样子美食基地园区, "初物铁板烧锅物" will officially open in May 2024, becoming the first high-end restaurant in Chiayi, focusing on premium teppanyaki culinary art. The emerging chef 毛乃康 leads a young dining team, utilizing teppanyaki techniques to select top-quality live seafood and local ingredients, blending Japanese, French, and Taiwanese cooking methods to vividly showcase the natural flavors of the ingredients. A brand new spring menu is set to be launched in 2025, with regularly updated new dishes allowing diners to continuously experience dining surprises!
The spring menu of 初物铁板烧锅物 includes fresh seasonal ingredients such as Australian water girl, live abalone, white asparagus, and white pomfret, bringing guests a seasonal limited exotic culinary feast!
Personally overseen by chef 毛乃康, 初物铁板烧锅物 showcases unique creativity and insights in Japanese and French cuisine. 毛乃康 uses Michelin-star-level teppanyaki as a foundation, accompanied by a philosophy of returning to the essence of ingredients, with meticulous considerations from decor to the selection of tableware, fully embodying the chef's taste and passion.
As for the lunch portion of the spring menu in 2025, the chef has carefully designed appetizers that will change according to daily fresh ingredients, allowing regular customers to feel freshness and surprise with each visit. The signature soup "白鯧米粉湯" is inspired by the chef's career, using handmade clear broth combined with clams and fish bones, cleverly fusing two memories.
- Hot Appetizer: Charcoal-grilled chicken wings served with baby corn and chicken liver sauce, presenting a unique flavor
- Seafood: Abalone steamed in bamboo leaves paired with Saikyo miso sauce, with unique fragrance released from the banana leaves of Nantou
- Rice: Rice cooked with firefly squid and Kyoto water spinach, perfectly blending the sweetness of chicken and the aroma of charcoal fire
- Dessert: Tiramisu infused with the flavors of Gukeng coffee, allowing guests to enjoy the delightful mixture of bitter and sweet
The dinner menu is equally captivating, with appetizers featuring tart cheese dorayaki made with Japanese sweet shrimp, paired with the chef's recommended seasonal vegetables, ensuring each dish is crafted with ingenuity.
初物铁板烧锅物's dining space is divided into two levels; the first floor offers a bright and airy environment, suitable for family and friend gatherings, while the second floor focuses on top-tier teppanyaki art, providing a private dining environment for business meals.
Chef 毛乃康's core philosophy revolves around "returning to the original intention of ingredients," creating teppanyaki dishes that are akin to works of art. 初物铁板烧锅物 is about to celebrate its first anniversary in 2025, and in appreciation of the supportive customers, it will launch a limited-time "Annual Welcome Dish," blending classic flavors with innovative techniques to reflect on the beautiful memories of the past year.
