- Taiguo Juan is a Taiwanese snack that resembles Japan's "Umaibo" in texture and shape but is distinguished by its unique flavor. This snack is loved by many, thanks to the exquisite combination of domestic brown rice and sugar, which enhances the aroma and sweetness. The coating of powdered sugar evokes a sense of nostalgia, recreating the taste of good old times. Since the sugar can easily stick to your hands, it requires some caution while eating. You can indulge in Taiguo Juan in the retro gaming world of Jiuyou Shanghang in Kaohsiung, a place where you can soak in the playful spirit of the Showa era. The trend is embraced by modern individuals seeking nostalgia, offering older visitors a moment to reminisce about their childhood. As this blog author gets absorbed in Taiguo Juan alongside retro games at Jiuyou Shanghang, one might almost lose track of whether they are in present-day Taiwan or Showa-era Japan. It's heartwarming to realize that the enthusiasm for games reveals a heart still adventuring with boyish spirit, although the "retro expansion" around the waist since those days adds a charming touch.
