A recent discovery by a netizen of a Japanese manga describing Taiwanese cuisine as too sweet, having a medicinal taste, and the rice being unappetizing has sparked heated discussions online. The manga scene depicted eating scenes in Taiwan with dishes like fried rice, vermicelli rolls, fried tofu, and a dessert resembling grass jelly. The post raised questions about Japanese perceptions of Taiwanese cuisine, with some feeling offended by the portrayal and others attributing it to the author's personal taste preferences.
