臺灣餐飲老店 Long-established Restaurants in Taiwan

常到臺南玩的人，肯定都知道國華街，這裡的西市場是日治時期相當重要的官方市集，擁有百年歷史，已被列為臺南市定古蹟。而創立於1931年（昭和六年）的江水號，身為臺南市第一家冰店，可謂西市場的經典。

江水號由第一代阿公黃江水於1931年創立，第三代黃鋕偉在海安路開枝散葉，第二代黃火木仍鎮守兩店。從阿公時代開始，八十幾年來夏天一直賣著八寶冰，冬天賣紅豆湯，即使隱身市場內，依舊高朋滿座，至今仍常見日本客循線前來，連臺南老鄉李安、郭泓志，回來也必吃一碗懷念的八寶冰。

一般冰店常以樣式多取勝，但備料多買現成。然而江水號最大特點，正是配料全數當天現煮現賣，每天花八、九小時依祖傳秘方熬煮豆類、煮糖水、揉湯圓也全都自己來。第三代老闆娘方秀芬說：「完全手工純天然檸檬愛玉冰是我們這裡熱賣的消暑聖品，現在夏天一天都要洗好幾桶呢。」

守護臺南人美味的記憶，厚工實在

由於手工繁多，因此江水號的人力時間幾乎都花在備料上了。現做的湯圓，將糯米搓成一長條用手指飛快切入水裡，數十年練就神乎其技的手法造成「江水號湯圓無影手」的影片在網路瘋傳。豆類是以文火燉煮，憑經驗、技術以控制時間與火候，待鍋中水分收乾，才倒出再讓其自然風乾。為了能三代不走味維持固定品質近幾年來黃鋕偉已將製程標準化。超人氣芋頭尤其令人過癮，是熬煮至軟爛的泥狀而非塊狀，口感綿密鬆軟，入口留香驚艷味蕾。糖水則以白糖摻加比例黑糖熬製而成，自然清甜不膩，是懷念的古早味。

招牌的八寶冰是鎮店之寶，配料有綠豆、大紅豆、紅豆、芋頭、鳳梨、粉角、湯圓、杏仁、仙草、粉粿，唯一變化是冬天的鳳梨換成花生、粉粿換成薏仁。冬季別錯過米糕粥，乃挑選上等糯米熬煮，加入芋頭塊、花豆、龍眼乾，粥汁濃稠得恰到好處，並有酒香。

江水號是老台南人的重要記憶，老闆娘說：「曾有百歲人瑞，夫妻相偕而來，就為了吃一碗他們童年的老味道，真的令人好感動。」正因如此，第三代傳人黃鋕偉背負代代相傳的使命感，期許自己能守護這百年不走味的美好，讓長大成為爸媽的孩子們，也能繼續將童年滋味傳給他們的下一代。
