The various Japanese eateries and bars in the streets are popular among many Japanese expatriates and tourists, possessing a foreign charm that has continued since the Japanese colonial era, allowing one to feel a close connection to Taiwan's history. To this day, Tongtong retains a strong Eastern flavor, featuring not only izakayas and kaiseki restaurants but also many Japanese home-style dishes such as nikujaga (Japanese meat and potato stew), oden (Japanese stew), unagi don (eel over rice), and yakiniku (Japanese barbecue). The alleys are filled with the aroma of old Tokyo. The Japanese and Taiwanese cuisine gathered here also reflects Taiwan's culinary culture from the past to the present. For example, the Seventh Tong is the birthplace of Taiwanese yakiniku culture.
