Trivia

[For Everyone] A 1980s soy sauce maker's TV ad completely established the culture of 'Mid-Autumn Festival = Outdoor BBQ Day' in Taiwan. The very culprit that created this culture; smelling this sauce unconditionally puts Taiwanese in a 'festival mood'. Like Japan's Ebara BBQ sauce, but sweeter and more exotic.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Toast white bread nicely over charcoal, sandwiching BBQ meat heavily brushed with this sauce to eat as a 'Taiwanese BBQ Sandwich'—the local royal road!
