About

Taiwan Zaocan Tengoku (台湾早餐天国, タイワン ザオツァン テンゴク) is a Taiwanese breakfast specialty shop at 3-chome Nishi-Ikebukuro, a 5-minute walk from Kanamecho Station on the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line. Open only on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and weekday Wednesday to Friday morning hours - an unusual format - the entire menu is "soshoku" (vegetarian without meat, fish, or the 5 pungent roots: garlic, chives, leek, onion, rakkyo). It offers Taiwanese family breakfasts in a form that even people following Buddhist food customs or avoiding the 5 pungent roots can enjoy.

— Taste Taiwan's plant-based breakfast in Nishi-Ikebukuro

The menu lines up dishes representing Taiwan's breakfast culture. Egg-filled crepes called "Dan-Bing" (蛋餅), miso-flavored simmered "Lu Rou Fan" (魯肉飯), sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves "chimaki" (粽), "daikon mochi," the warm dessert "Tou Hua" (豆花), and the indispensable Taiwanese breakfast soy milk and Taiwanese tea. Every menu item is soshoku (vegetarian, in line with Buddhist food customs) - made without meat, fish, or the 5 pungent roots - offering Taiwan's family breakfasts in a form open to people avoiding the 5 pungent roots or seeking plant-based meals. Operating hours are only morning: Saturday and Sunday 7:30 to 12:00, Wednesday to Friday 9:00 to 11:30.

“How about Taiwanese breakfast?”

Went to "Taiwan Zaocan Tengoku"! A popular shop where you can enjoy Taiwanese breakfast menus — perfect items for cold winter. This time I ordered "Mala Soboro Danbing," "Daikon Mochi," and "White Congee (with fried bread and pickled daikon omelet)" — but this alone was lunch-volume! First, "Mala Soboro Danbing" — a thin crepe-like Taiwanese skin wrapping mala-flavored mince and egg. Spicy and rich, one bite and your appetite ignites! The skin is chewy and pairs perfectly with the mince texture. Next, "Daikon Mochi" — crispy and aromatic outside, fluffy inside. The daikon flavor comes through clearly — simple yet satisfying. "White Congee" — gently warming. Refills are free, perfect for cold days. The fried bread has a crispy texture, and dipped in white congee, gives a different deliciousness. The pickled daikon omelet's fluffy egg with daikon's saltiness was exquisite — pairs perfectly with congee! "Taiwan Zaocan Tengoku" lets you enjoy plenty of Taiwanese breakfast. Recommended for those who want to warm up on cold days or want a generous breakfast! *** No vegan mark, but when I asked staff directly, they told me vegan options.
