MUME is derived from the Latin name of the plum blossom, which is also Taiwan’s national flower and the name of the head chef, Richie Lin’s, mother. It symbolizes not only his love for the land, but also the meaning of inheritance. MUME uses delicate and sophisticated European cooking techniques to present Taiwan’s unique and local ingredients in a stunning form. The chef believes that “the land will always be the root of the dish” and has established a food laboratory to discover more local ingredients and continue to innovate. Through the cuisine at MUME, he hopes to introduce Taiwan to more people.

MMHG ventures into the Japanese dining market for the first time, introducing the Michelin one-star yakitori restaurant, Yakitori Ichimatsu, from Osaka to Taiwan and opening its sister establishment, “fumée.” “Fumée” is French for smoke, steam, and vapor. The logo design is inspired by the hexagram in the I Ching, depicting the trigram of wood above fire, symbolizing the burning of wood for cooking, transformation into maturity, and aligning with the main store’s emphasis on the mastery of fire, known as “fireplay” (playing with fire). Fumée inherits the culinary concept and innovative spirit of the main store, presenting a playful approach to “fireplay” and a mastery of temperature control. The restaurant focuses on “chicken kaiseki” and offers 16 yakitori set meals, providing a fresh and delightful yakitori experience
