Taipien is a bowl of clear chicken and pork broth with mung bean vermicelli in it, topped with stir-fried pork, cabbage, carrot, wood ear, prawn and squid, and a deep-fried boiled egg. The noodles are glass noodles, so it eats light, and Kumamoto people treat it as the healthy option — it is served in school lunches here and nowhere else in Japan.

It came from Fujian with Chinese cooks who settled in Kumamoto in the Meiji period, where the original used duck egg and a different noodle. The local version replaced both, and the dish rooted here so completely that it is now a Kumamoto speciality that barely exists elsewhere in the country. Chinese restaurants across the city serve it, and so do coffee shops and canteens.

인사이더 가이드

**The noodles are mung bean glass noodles.** Not wheat. That is why it eats light and why locals order it as the sensible lunch. **The fried egg is not optional.** A boiled egg, deep-fried, sitting on top. Some shops add a second for a small charge and most locals do. **It came from Fujian.** Brought by Chinese cooks in the Meiji period and altered here. That it is now barely eaten anywhere else in Japan is the odd part. **School lunches serve it.** Which is why every adult in this city has an opinion about it, and why it is on menus that are otherwise nothing to do with Chinese food. **Try it before basashi.** Horse sashimi is what visitors come for. Taipien is what Kumamoto actually eats on a Tuesday.
