品嚐臺南 400 - From Game to Table

品嚐臺南 400 – From Game to Table

以《鯤島行者》歷史遊戲計畫為起點，我們結合考據研究與創意開發，打造一場從 17 世紀出發的味覺旅行。Mata Taiwan 擔任歷史顧問與田調統籌，協助晶英酒店與堯平布朗尼挖掘福爾摩沙時代的飲食脈絡，並轉譯為今日可品嚐的主題料理。

本案呼應臺南市文化資產管理處與文化部「再造歷史現場」支持下推出的 3D 遊戲《鯤島行者》，當玩家在虛擬大員市鎮中探索歷史，我們則在現實中透過飲食還原當時的生活風貌。

晶英酒店 ROBIN’S 主廚團隊依據我們提供的史料與顧問連結，設計出「航海時代沙拉吧」料理，如蔬菜燉培根、煙燻鹿肉、椰奶鮮蝦與豌豆麵包，讓味蕾穿越至 1624 年。堯平布朗尼則以荷蘭文獻中的原民作物 taraw 高粱為靈感，創作「高粱布朗尼」作為甜點紀念。Mata Taiwan 更遠自德國尋回復刻盛行於 17 世紀大航海時代的 Mumme 啤酒，於記者會帶來跨越 400 年的味覺體驗。

這是一場從遊戲延伸至餐桌的歷史行動，展現食物作為時間容器的可能，讓臺南 400 成為真實可感的文化記憶。

Starting from the historical game project Echoes of Formosa, we created a culinary journey rooted in 17th-century Formosa. With Mata Taiwan as historical advisor and fieldwork lead, we partnered with Silks Place Tainan and Yao Ping Brownies to turn early colonial food culture into edible stories.

As players explore the virtual city of Tayouan, the dining experience brings that history to life through taste.

ROBIN’S chefs at Silks Place created dishes like vegetable-bacon stew, smoked venison, coconut shrimp, and pea bread—based on our historical research. Yao Ping crafted a sorghum brownie inspired by crops found in Dutch records. Mata Taiwan even sourced and revived 17th-century Mumme beer from Germany, debuting it at the press event for a 400-year taste of history.

From game to table, this project shows how food can hold time—making Tainan 400 a memory you can truly savor.
