People of Yunlin used to engage in agricultural work and naturally they prefer salty food with stronger flavor. In early times, food served in Pine and bamboo house Japanese restaurant had strong flavor too. But as people put more emphasis on healthy food in modern times, the founder Ms. Zhang, Qiu-Yen, learning from masters who were taught by Japanese by chance, started to think of the change to the cuisine. In the first place, she changed the homemade sauce and dish up. She is also very strict in selecting ingredient, for example, red king crab must be imported from Japan even if it is costly. She thinks the quality can only be ensured by doing so, and selected ingredient can catch the appetite of connoisseurs. Unsurprisingly these changes did not reject by local residents but went popular instead.
