1 Sze Wai Street

Daily Healing X Girls' Dormitory X Japanese Old House X Gourmet Food
A coming-of-age drama about a group of young women, set against the backdrop of the "Siwei Street Japanese Guesthouse in West District"!

Xiao Naiyun, a shy observer striving to overcome social anxiety.
Xu Jiahua, a cheerful woman juggling part-time work and delicious food.
Lu Xiaofeng, a haughty young lady masked by a gentle demeanor.
Guo Zhiyi, a slovenly but talented woman who seems out of touch with the mundane world.

When four master's students, each with their own hidden thoughts, encounter a mysterious landlady,
how will these five contemporary Taiwanese women, in their twenties and thirties, with vastly different personalities and backgrounds,
coexist, support each other, and even experience budding romance in a Japanese old house that has stood since the Showa era!?

And with the unearthing of a century-old cookbook, taro paste soup, braised chicken, pan-fried spring rolls... Taiwanese dishes from the Japanese colonial period, imbued with new flavors, not only tantalize modern palates but also stir their innermost emotions, slowly unraveling the historical secrets held within this old house.

Following "Taiwan Roaming Records," novelist Yang Shuang-tzu for the first time extends historical themes to the post-war and contemporary society, transforming an existing historical building in Taichung City, the "Siwei Street Japanese Guesthouse in West District," into a girls' dormitory. Through delicate and vivid vignettes of human interaction, she portrays the joy of exploring history through historical spaces and culinary culture, as well as an alternative perspective on contemporary ethnic politics. "No. 1 Siwei Street" once again demonstrates Yang Shuang-tzu's ability to research historical details, construct characters and settings, and combine the beauty of cuisine and human connection.
