★The raw fish stall on Yumin Street that's been trending online
Online discussions have revealed a Japanese food stall on Yumin Street in Banqiao. It's said that the owner learned cooking techniques from a Michelin-starred Japanese chef, which has attracted the attention of many gourmets.
This visit will allow us to see for ourselves what makes this much-discussed booth so appealing and whether it truly offers great value for money.

★Street stalls are unassuming in appearance but very eye-catching.
This "Sashimi Taro" is not a traditional store, but operates as a street stall.
Although the space is not large, it is organized quite neatly, with the ingredients on the counter arranged in an orderly manner, making it hard not to take a second look when passing by.
Rather than relying on fancy decor, it attracts attention more through the ingredients themselves.


★The counter is stocked with a wide variety of ingredients, which are freshly cut to order and can be seen on the food.
The selection available on-site includes crispy sweetfish, neem, tuna, salmon, croaker, swordfish, soft-shelled shrimp, angel shrimp, Japanese scallops, and more, offering a wider variety than expected.
The ingredients are neatly displayed on the counter, and are prepared and cut to order, allowing customers to directly observe the processing.
For consumers who value freshness, this presentation method also provides a sense of reassurance.

★Even when the owner is working alone, there are still crowds of people during lunchtime.
Although the entire stall is mostly operated by the owner alone, he handles almost everything from preparing ingredients and cutting to taking orders.
However, during mealtimes, customers continued to come and order food, and there were also many takeout orders.
Many people seemed to know the way well, stopping directly to order food as they passed by.
★Unboxing! Two popular online dishes
——— Salmon Oyako Don (NT 280)
This time I ordered the salmon oyakodon, which was recommended by many people.
Thick slices of salmon cover the entire bowl, making it quite eye-catching in color. The portion size is also very generous, so overall it feels like great value for money!
And here's the important part: salmon roe is one of the dishes the owner learned to prepare from a Michelin-starred chef, which makes the taste even more anticipated.
Then Dad won't be polite!
Try the salmon first. To be honest, the salmon has a smooth texture, and the salmon itself is very oily and fragrant. Paired with the glistening and plump salmon roe, it bursts gently in your mouth when you bite into it, adding layers of saltiness and flavor. Overall, it tastes very delicate and is not greasy.
The internet says that it tastes even better when eaten with white rice, no wonder so many people recommend it!


——— Assorted Sashimi (NT$300)
Another popular item is assorted sashimi.
The contents will be adjusted according to the types of fish that are available that day and in the season. On that day, Mao's father ate a mixed sashimi consisting of swordfish, salmon, tuna, croaker, and other fish.
Each type of fish has a slightly different texture; some are firm, while others are tender. You can taste the freshness and sweetness of the fish in every bite, and the overall quality is characterized by its freshness.
Simply pair it with soy sauce and wasabi to bring out the different flavors of the fish!
Overall, they give a generous amount of fish, no wonder so many customers order the mixed sashimi!


★Overall impression: A high-value option for affordable Japanese raw food.
Overall, while Sashimi Taro doesn't have fancy decor or the typical style of a large Japanese restaurant, it's still a great place to eat.
However, with its freshly cut ingredients, diverse selection, and reasonable prices, it does offer good value for money.
The seasoning and knife skills are also of a certain standard, no wonder it has sparked a lot of discussion online.
If you happen to be in the vicinity of Yumin Street in Banqiao soon, you might as well try this unassuming yet popular Japanese sashimi stall.
