Undercover Report: Attractions of MIDORI
1. Peace of mind with Japanese-language support
Upon entering the restaurant, I was warmly greeted by the staff in Japanese. With so many staff members who speak Japanese, it is easy to forget that you are in a foreign country.
Staff Composition:
- Japanese staff: 12
- Taiwanese staff fluent in Japanese: 3
This is the reason why you can enjoy your first trip to Taiwan.
2. I am happy with the clear accounting!
The pricing system was explained to me when I placed my order, and I felt comfortable with the clear pricing.
An example of the fee system
| Services | Fee (NT$) |
|---|---|
| practice of buying a bottle of spirits at a bar which is then kept there for the customer | From 6,000 |
| table charge | 1,200 |
| All-you-can-drink (2 hours) | 2,200 |
Rates,Five of us ordered a bottle of Seabass 12 year and seven or eight more sodas.The total cost was 15,400 yuan (about 73,500 Japanese yen). Since the prices are clearly presented, I did not have any worries about not knowing the price later, which is often the case in overseas night spots. I enjoyed pleasant conversations with the staff. I was able to relax until the end of my stay.
3. Rare Mom's presence
Nozomi is the fourth generation of MIDORI's mom, and she is the face of the restaurant. I felt that many customers are attracted to her warm hospitality.
Mom Nozomi taught herself Japanese and is now as fluent as a Japanese person. She could tell I was a little nervous,If you are from Japan, don't worry.I was impressed by the way he spoke to me with a smile. I immediately felt at ease with his friendliness.
4. In-store facilities and services
Karaoke is also available, making it a great environment for those who love to sing. There is a wide variety of Japanese music, and the staff enjoys singing along with you.

Luxury to enjoy two nights, Ginza and Taiwan
The special night we spent in Taiwan was like a momentary flash of brilliance that is etched in our hearts. The warm smiles, friendly conversation, and comfortable atmosphere at "Midori" left a different impression from any other night spot I have ever experienced.
Suddenly comparing it to a night in Japan, Ginza's refined and luxurious atmosphere is also very special. The unique Japanese sophistication and refined hospitality of Ginza contrasts perfectly with the free and warm nights in Taiwan.
Which is better. Deciding it is one of the most luxurious pleasures. Tranquility or liveliness, harmony or exoticism. Both are fascinating, and the pleasure of going back and forth between the brilliance of different nights may bring us a special experience.
What kind of place and what kind of night awaits you next? With the sense of freedom we felt at night in Taiwan, we can look forward to planning another new trip.
To all those who love Taiwanese nights and Ginza nights. May this undercover report inspire you to new adventures.
