熊本県·ご当地グルメ
Taipeiyen (Champon)
Smooth glass noodles paired with plenty of vegetables and seafood. As you slurp the noodles soaked in a gentle soup, the richness of the fried egg spreads softly. Taipeiyen's roots are said to be home cooking brought to Nagasaki and Kumamoto by overseas Chinese from around Fujian Province, China, during the late Meiji era. Originally, it was a soup dish eaten for celebrations; the name is said to derive from the fact that duck eggs were called 'Taiping eggs' (Peace eggs) in Fuzhou. In Japan, it replaced duck eggs with fried chicken eggs and glass noodles, taking root as a unique Kumamoto dish. Today, it is so beloved by citizens that it even appears in Kumamoto City school lunches. This Chinese-style dish born in Kumamoto is loved in both Chinese restaurants and homes. Its gentle flavor soaks deeply into your body.
