(a) But Tempeh originated from Java, Indonesia. There was no such thing in Taiwan before I left there in 1984. Apparently Japanese consider it foreign, that is why they use katakana 片仮名 (reserved for loanword 外來語; as opposed to hiragana 平仮名; there is no corresponding Kanji 漢字 for tempeh in Japan).
(b) Tempeh Reuben sandwich seems to be a fad recently.

(i) The store name Sacred Chow is a play on the phrase sacred cow, AND on Chow as a relatively common Chinese name.
(ii) Reuben sandwich

(section 1 Origin)
Tempeh Reuben sandwich replace corned beef/pastrami with tempeh.

, whose paragraph 1 says, "Written as tempe in Indonesian language and tempeh in English, tempeh had its origin in Java, Indonesia, and is derived from fermentatin of soy bean by tempeh germ. It tastes like natto 納豆, smells a bit foul, but will not draw strings when pulled apart.

(3) I assume one can buy tempeh and/or natto in a specialty or ethnic (Japanese/Korean/Chinese) supermarket or store. As you can expect (now that my original posting included a link from Whole Foods trumpeting its nutritional value), Whole Foods sells various dishes of tempeh (besides uncooked ones--I searched its web site just now) but not natto.
