Kituru started as a coffee shop but has grown into a cultural hub for sharing local aesthetics, food, and crafts. We have been in operation since 2012, and have moved three times before settling back in our hometown of Daxi Tribe in Taimali Township. Our community has become closer since then, and in 2021, we established a craft classroom to provide better learning opportunities for our tribe members. In addition, we also created a pikak noodle culture kitchen to share Shandong noodles and Paiwan wine culture with even more people. At Kituru, we honor our elders by preserving and passing down their important skills to the next generation. Whether you visit us as a coffee shop, cultural space, or simply a supporter, we strive to empower our partners to pursue culture and real-life together.
Featured Dishes
2023 Breakfast Feast
Wine Lees Mantou Burger (Pikak Burger)
The "wine lees steamed buns" are the highlight of this food stall. The buns are made with a traditional yeast culture from the indigenous Paiwan tribe and combined with the owner's father's recipe for Shandong-style steamed buns. It took the tribe five years to re-cultivate the traditional wine lees plant to produce the unique and culturally significant buns.
