追溯基隆港的歷史發展，基隆港毗鄰日本，使其成為日治時期台灣重要的海上交通樞紐。 1896年，台灣總督府正式指定台灣與日本之間的“指揮線”，進一步促進台灣交通基礎設施的發展。 基隆港與高雄港透過縱向鐵路連接，實現了港口與鐵路的完全整合。 到了1920年代，「大阪商船」和「日本郵船」兩家日本船公司在基隆港設立分公司，成為當代基隆的地標，也像徵初到台灣的旅客的「現代化港口」。 大阪商船基隆分公司在二戰期間被徹底摧毀，日本郵船公司基隆分公司也遭到嚴重破壞。
戰後，日本郵船基隆分公司由原來的角色轉變為現在的「陽明海洋文化藝術館」。 毗鄰原大阪商船會社（現為基隆公車總站）的場地於2023年成立為We®，繼續其作為基隆重要節點的角色，並在基隆港沿岸重新崛起。
Tracing the historical development of Keelung Harbor, its proximity to Japan made it an important hub for maaritime transportation in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. In 1896, the Taiwan Governor-General's Office established the officially designated "command route" between Taiwan and Japan, further promoting Taiwan's transportation infrastructure. The connection of Keelung and Kaohsiung harbors through the longitudinal railway realized the complete integration of ports and railways. By the 1920s, two Japanese shipping companies, "Osaka Shosen Kaisha" and "Nippon Yusen Kaisha," established branches in Keelung Harbor, becoming landmarks of contemporary Keelung and symbolizing a "modernized port" for travelers arriving in Taiwan for the first time. The Keelung branch of Osaka Shosen Kaisha was completely destroyed during World War II, and the Keelung branch of Nippon Yusen Kaisha was also severely damaged.
After the post-war period, the Keelung branch of Nippon Yusen Kaisha transformed from its original role to become the current "Yangming Marine Culture and Art Museum." The site adjacent to the original Osaka Shosen Kaisha, now the Keelung Bus Terminal, was established as We ® in 2023, continuing its role as an important node in Keelung and reemerging on the banks of Keelung Harbor.

西岸永續
自日治時期起，基隆的雄鷹就在基隆港上空翱翔，見證了這座城市的變遷與繁榮。基隆港成為近代化過程中的典範。二戰結束後，一代又一代的雄鷹繼續展翅翱翔，象徵基隆的歷史輝煌和堅韌的精神。我們從這些鷹身上汲取靈感，將它們的自由和勇氣融入我們的菜餚中。每道菜都體現了鷹的象徵意義，讓客人在用餐的同時體驗基隆豐富的歷史和文化。

The eagles of Keelung have soared over Keelung Harbor since the Japanese colonial period, witnessing the city's transformation and prosperity. Keelung Harbor became a model of progress during its modernization. After World War II, generations of eagles continued to fly, symbolizing Keelung's historical glory and resilient spirit. We draw inspiration from these eagles, infusing their freedom and courage into our dishes. Each dish embodies the symbolism of the eagle, allowing our guests to experience the rich history and culture of Keelung while dining.

主理團隊
創建We® 是我們生活中的一個令人愉快的驚喜。在創作過程中，我們將聲音和意義結合起來，進行創造性的文字遊戲，代表我們內心的呼喚「為生活騰出空間」。這象徵著我們希望在基隆開闢一個被習慣所忽視的空間，融合過去、現在和未來，與西岸的罕見景觀共存。
We® 團隊的領導者來自台灣十大4A廣告公司，擁有約二十年的內部創意經驗。自2017年成立平面設計公司以來，我們一直致力於整合品牌內容以滿足市場需求。機緣巧合，我們回到家鄉，成為基隆和平島公園品牌識別系統的設計團隊。自2018年起，我們一直在基隆服務相關品牌形象整合策劃，榮獲2019年金點設計獎年度最佳設計獎及2020年新加坡優良設計標誌。
Creating We® has been a delightful surprise in our lives. During the creation process, we combined sound and meaning, engaging in creative wordplay that represents our inner call – “making room for life.” This symbolizes our desire to carve out a space in Keelung that has been overlooked by habit, integrating the past, present, and future, and coexisting with the rare landscape of the west coast harbor.
The leaders of the We® team come from Taiwan's top ten 4A advertising agencies, with approximately twenty years of in-house creative experience. Since founding our graphic design company in 2017, we have been committed to integrating brand content to meet market demands. By a stroke of luck, we returned to our hometown and became the design team for the Keelung Peace Island Park brand identity system. Since 2018, we have been serving related brand identity integration planning in Keelung, winning the Golden Pin Design Award for Best Design of the Year in 2019 and the Singapore Good Design Mark in 2020.
