MUME

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.

fumée

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 kappo,” offering a new yakitori experience through both flavor and presentation.

Torikaze Taipei

TORIKAZE TAIPEI is a collaboration between MMHG and Torishiki ICHIMON, led by renowned yakitori master Yoshiteru Ikegawa, bringing the philosophy, craftsmanship, and culture of Japanese yakitori from Tokyo to Taipei.

Every skewer reflects the chef’s judgment in the moment, revealing the pure essence of yakitori through the interplay of ingredient, fire, and technique.

Rooted in the traditions of Japanese yakitori while embracing local Taiwanese ingredients and seasonal flavors, TORIKAZE TAIPEI explores new possibilities between tradition and the contemporary.

Mirei

mirei is a contemporary East Asian restaurant by MMHG, located in Taipei’s historic Dadaocheng district and led by Japanese chef Kenta Iizuka. Having worked at the two-MICHELIN-starred Crony in Tokyo and the three-MICHELIN-starred MOSU in Seoul, Kenta brings together influences from the culinary cultures of Japan, Taiwan, and Korea to explore a contemporary language of East Asian cuisine.

The name “mirei” is written in kanji as “未麗.” “未” represents possibility – something yet to come and always evolving – while “麗” speaks to a beauty that is honest, natural, and unadorned. mirei embraces the beauty of things still taking shape, believing that cuisine does not need to arrive at a fixed destination, but can continue to grow and evolve with the seasons, the land, and each new creation.

The cuisine brings together Japanese sensitivity to seasonality and ingredients, the precise structure of modern French cooking, and the terroir of Taiwan. Drawing from familiar everyday flavors and seasonal ingredients, each dish is presented with simplicity and refinement, allowing the ingredients to speak for themselves. Through the interplay of cultures and culinary memories, mirei expresses its own vision of contemporary East Asian cuisine.

The name “SAAKA” is inspired by “Sakka,” a name that embodies the values of protection, integrity, generosity, and kindness – reflecting the spirit of sharing and hospitality deeply rooted in Thai culture.

The cuisine builds on Chef Ton’s understanding of Thai flavors, bringing together the distinctive notes of sour, spicy, salty, sweet, and fermented flavors with local Taiwanese ingredients and seasonal produce. Modern cooking techniques add depth and dimension while staying true to the character of Thai cuisine. With both set menus and à la carte options, guests are invited to choose freely, share with one another, and return to the simple joy at the heart of dining – eating together.
