The book notes: "Now, dining by the side of the street has always been a Taiwanese pastime, but the modern rechao came into existence in the 1980s when large, industrial gas-powered burners were introduced across the island. ... Beer, the defining beverage of the experience, is poured into small shot glasses and refilled by petite, pretty beer ladies who go table to table offering patrons whatever brand of beer they’ve been paid to promote. And it works: rechao restaurants account for nearly 45 percent of all beer sales in the country."
The article notes: "Beer is also central to the experience. Taiwan has produced beer domestically since the Japanese colonial era, but sales skyrocketed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when foreign beer brands like Heineken were imported en masse. Today, rechao restaurants account for nearly 45 percent of all beer sales in the country."
Comment: Both the book source and the article source were published in 2023 so should be recent enough for the hook to state that "almost 45% of Taiwan's beer purchases comes from rechao restaurants" without including a date.

Overall: Great work as usual @Cunard:. At first, I was a little uncertain as to whether this quite met the interest threshold. However, after reading the hook, it made me want to click on the article to find out what Rechao was. So, I think it meets the dominant purpose of a hook and hence passes with ease. No obligation, but I have one DYK hook outstanding for almost a month if you have time. Thanks! — — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:33, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
