一座城市，兩種經典：岡山的螺絲與羊肉

來到岡山，很多人想到的是螺絲，但真正讓人記住這座城市的，往往還有羊肉。

岡山羊肉之所以特別有名，不只是因為好吃，而是因為它背後有完整的地方發展脈絡。岡山早年位於交通與交易的重要位置，鄰近田寮、阿蓮、燕巢等養羊地區，因此逐漸形成羊隻交易與羊肉料理的集散中心，羊肉文化也在這裡慢慢扎根。

岡山羊肉真正迷人的地方，在於它不是單純用重口味掩蓋羊味，而是發展出一套成熟的料理方式。傳統做法常選用帶皮、帶骨的部位，讓皮、筋、肉的口感層次更完整；湯頭則以多種藥材長時間熬煮，呈現出厚度、甘味與深度，而不是只有濃烈而已。

另外，岡山羊肉還有一個很鮮明的特色，就是搭配在地豆瓣醬。這種吃法結合了地方飲食文化，也讓岡山羊肉除了湯頭本身之外，多了一種鹹、辣、甘並存的風味記憶。也因此，岡山羊肉的代表性，不只是羊肉本身，而是羊肉、部位處理、湯頭與沾醬共同形成的一整套地方味道。

對我們來說，岡山很特別。
這裡一方面孕育出台灣最重要的螺絲聚落，另一方面，也保留了最具代表性的羊肉文化。前者代表岡山的專業，後者代表岡山的溫度。也希望您在認識岡山產業的同時，也能品嚐這座城市最經典的味道。

When people think of Gangshan, they often think of fasteners. But what truly makes many visitors remember this city is also its lamb.

Gangshan lamb is famous not only because it tastes good, but because it grew out of a strong local history. In earlier times, Gangshan was located at an important transportation and trading point, close to goat-raising areas such as Tianliao, Alian, and Yanchao. Over time, it became a center for goat trading and lamb cuisine, which is why lamb became such an important part of the city’s identity.

What makes Gangshan lamb special is that it is not simply about using strong seasoning to hide the natural flavor. It developed into a mature local cuisine of its own. Traditional dishes often use skin-on and bone-in cuts, giving the meat more texture and depth. The broth is usually simmered for a long time with Chinese herbs, creating richness, sweetness, and layered flavor rather than just heaviness.

Another distinctive feature of Gangshan lamb is its pairing with local bean paste. This combination reflects the local food culture and gives the dish an especially memorable balance of savory, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors. That is why Gangshan lamb stands out not only for the meat itself, but for the complete experience created by the cuts, the broth, and the dipping sauce.

To us, this is what makes Gangshan unique.
It is home to one of Taiwan’s most important fastener clusters, and at the same time, one of its most iconic lamb traditions. One represents Gangshan’s professionalism, and the other represents its warmth. We hope that while you come to know Gangshan for its industry, you will also experience one of its most classic local flavors.
