Yun Hai Taiwanese Pantry offers premium ingredients for Chinese and Taiwanese cooking, sourced directly from Taiwan.





Yun Hai 雲海 offers a selection of premium ingredients for Chinese and Taiwanese cooking. We source directly from artisans, farms, and soy sauce breweries in Taiwan. Terrain, technique, history, and humanity come together in the traditional foods we distribute.

Our team helps small food businesses based in Taiwan prepare their product for commercial import to an eager audience in the United States. We intend to bring visibility to the culture, cuisine, and independence of Taiwan while offering a selection of fine and fancy ingredients for Chinese cooking.

Huge fan of the vat-bottom soybean paste and amber river soy sauce! 

The first version of the dried guava was pretty hard to chew but they’ve improved the drying process and the most recent batch was even better than the first.

I ordered the dried fruits initially from the Kickstarter campaign, and they were absolutely worth the wait. Guava was my favorite but the mango and pineapple were also so very good. The dried fruits are lightly sweet, mostly bringing out the fruits’ natural flavor — great with the plum powder.

We’ve since reordered guava and pineapple (mango was out of stock) and the white sesame paste. The white sesame paste is a favorite for some summery cold noodles.
