【LAI HAO】Taiwan City Souvenir Glass: Taitung Edition

Taiwan City Beer Glass: Taitung Edition Taitung, with its warm climate all year round, is also known as “the hometown of the sun.” Ever since actor Takeshi Kaneshiro famously enjoyed a cup of tea under a tree in Chishang, Taitung, many Taiwanese men have flocked to that same tree to take photos, imagining themselves as heartthrobs like him. Taitung is rich in natural products — Chulu’s fresh milk, Chishang’s premium rice, and the daylily fields of Sixty Stone Mountain are especially well known. Like Hualien, Taitung also boasts vibrant indigenous cultures, and Changbin Township is home to Taiwan’s oldest known prehistoric site. In recent years, Taitung has also become famous for its hot air balloon festival, held every summer at Luye Highland, where you’ll see whimsical balloons slowly rising into the sky. “Cheers!” is how people in Taiwan connect with each other. On Lunar New Year, families toast together and wish each other happiness. At stir-fry restaurants, friends raise their glasses to check in with each other. Through this simple gesture, people naturally draw closer. But do you know the story behind Taiwan’s most iconic beer glass? Around the world, beer comes in many forms — and so do the glasses. In Taiwan, the 143cc beer glass is the most classic size. Although 143cc isn’t a national standard, it's said to be the perfect size for preserving the freshness of beer. Legend has it that during WWII, due to supply shortages, Taiwan’s Monopoly Bureau deliberately reduced the size of the glass — so drinkers would savor every drop. One 600ml Taiwan Beer fills about four 143cc glasses. The phrase “You drink yours, I’ll sip mine” became the warmest expression of friendship among Taiwanese people. You’ll see this 143cc glass in daily life — at picnics, family gatherings, and wedding banquets. Lai Hao blends this classic beer glass with Taiwanese cultural icons, recreating nostalgic local elements on the glass. Designed and made in Taiwan.
