Champon
Chanpon-Nagasaki’s signature dish. It is a noodle dish with Chinese roots.

This dish has traditionally been viewed as an inexpensive, healthy and delicious stomach filler.
Sara Udon

Kakuni Manju
Kakuni Manju- Another dish with Chinese roots. Enjoy a thick slice of pork belly placed in a soft bread bun. The meat is simmered low and slow in a tantalizing marinade made with soy sauce, dashi, sake, sugar and mirin to make the meat extra tender. Kakuni Manju is a food experience not to be missed.
Toruko Rice
Toruko Rice- A Western-inspired dish that pairs pilaf rice and spaghetti with a delicious deep fried pork cutlet topped with Japanese-style curry. This savory meal represents the meeting of The East and The West in the city of Nagasaki.
