Fresh, healthy, safe and delicious, Sanshang reinterprets Japanese don culture with flavors closest to the preferences of Taiwanese consumers. It also pays close attention to the source of ingredients, insisting on using local fresh ingredients of the finest quality to build a specialty store offering delicious dons. The first store began operations in November 2011 and was located in the business district around Nanjing metro station, providing office workers and families in the adjacent business district with authentic Japanese flavors through delicious meals at affordable prices.

Rice is among the staple foods well-loved by Asians. There are many different kinds of rice dishes in Taiwan, and in Japan, the word “don” is another name for “rice bowl,” and is a “civilian delicacy” familiar to the general public. Evidently, rice occupies a very important position in Asian food culture.

Sanshang was inspired by the civilian culture of the bold and exquisite don and so introduced this authentic Japanese flavor into Taiwan. With fresh and healthy meals as its priority, each ingredient is inspected for quality before being delivered fresh daily. Through innovative R&D, a dining experience of “a feast for the five senses – tender, smooth, fresh, light and crispy” was created, integrating layered flavors and visual impact, and combining various ingredients with specially brewed sauces to create delicious and filling meals. Each order of mains comes with free soup and rice refills. Stores are built with bright and spacious dining areas so that customers can quickly and conveniently enjoy quality meals that are hygienic, reliable, and provide excellent value for money.

The secret to the delicious beef dons served at Sanshang Don Mono is the use of soft and tender beef belly, served with fresh, sweet onions and specially brewed sauces for a smooth taste and balanced texture to create delicious, top-rate beef don. The rice is topped with sweet and juicy freshly chopped green onions. The stores use quality Tainan No. 11 white rice with full and crystal clear grains that are fragrant, soft and chewy when cooked.

Aside from its signature beef and pork chop dons, Sanshang Don Mono is also committed to providing consumers with varied meal options, such as the strong and spicy Mapo Beef Don, Fried Fish Don topped with golden liquid egg yolk, the Grilled Chicken Donburi with a large serving of fresh, tender chicken leg and the newly launched Creamy Mushroom and Cheese Chicken Don, satisfying customers’ imagination and demand for dons through the varied tastes and textures of different ingredients.
