Extending Food Expo Buzz: Alishan Tsou Tribes Offer Limited-Time Deals

Following the success of the 2026 Taiwan Food Exhibition, which attracted over 130,000 visitors, Chiayi County is launching a special "flash sale" promotion to continue showcasing the unique flavors of Alishan's Tsou tribal communities. This limited-time offer runs until August 27, enabling the public to savor and order distinctive tribal delicacies for home delivery.

The Chiayi County Government participated in the exhibition with the theme "Tsou Food," creating a warm "home-style tribal cuisine" atmosphere. They highlighted the indigenous Tsou people's food culture, demonstrating how to prepare simple dishes using local ingredients like 'makao' (a type of pepper), fresh Alishan wasabi, and millet wine. The exhibition also featured vibrant song and dance performances and handicraft displays, successfully bringing the rich tastes and cultural charm of the Alishan mountains to Taipei's food enthusiasts.

To extend the benefits to those who missed the exhibition or wish to continue enjoying the offerings, various tribes have presented special discounts. These include unique items such as millet wine cocktails and wasabi pork belly meal kits from the Chashan tribe, 'mi-mo' millet wine and 'makao' sausages from the Zhulu tribe, and discounts on selected items from the Leya tribe's tea products. Additionally, the Tefuye tribe offers complimentary drip coffee bags with purchases of their premium coffee, and the Laiji tribe features charming wild boar-themed wood carvings as home decor.

The County Cultural and Tourism Bureau emphasized that the appeal of Alishan's teas, premium coffee, millet wine, and indigenous cuisine remains strong even after the exhibition's conclusion. The promotional offers are only available until August 27. Furthermore, an online "Tsou Travel Season" stamp-collecting activity is set to begin on September 1, with details to be announced soon via the "Slow Travel Chiayi" LINE@ account.
