In the beginning of the 20th century, the production techniques of Japanese sweets were brought into Taiwan, which was governed by Japan for fifty years, and therefore kusa mochi (rice-flour dumplings mixed with mugwort), monaka, and yokan are still produced in local confectioneries.
20世紀の初頭、日本統治時代(台湾)が50年間続いた台湾には、和菓子の製造技術も伝えられたため、現在も地元の菓子店で草餅、最中、羊羹などの製造が行われている。
