When I entered the restaurant at 11:30, I could miss the high-speed boat, so I had to choose to buy a lunch box at a convenience store. At the convenience store “Daily Yamazaki” near the Nagasaki Port Terminal, I bought a “Turkish Rice” lunch box, which is a local gourmet of Nagasaki, and decided to eat it on a high-speed boat.

Nagasaki’s local cuisine recommended in July   Table of contents Introduction Shippoku ryori Gu-zoni Champon / Sara Udon and Sasebo Burger   Introduction The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ “100 Selections of Local Cuisine” lists “Shippoku ryori” and “Gu-zoni” as local dishes in Nagasaki Prefecture. https://www.maff.go.jp/j/nousin/kouryu/kyodo_ryouri/attach/pdf/190131-4.pdf   Shippoku ryori “Shippoku ryori” can be eaten all year round. When you travel to Nagasaki, please try the shippoku ryori, which is a Japanese version of Chinese and Western cuisine. Since shippoku ryori is originally a banquet dish, it is a dish that is eaten by a large number of people, but there are also restaurants that serve shippoku ryori for one person, so there is no problem even if you are traveling in small groups. Gu-zoni “Gu-zoni” was eaten on New Year’s and special days in the Shimabara region, but now it can be eaten even during the normal season, and it seems that some restaurants serve it even in July.   Champon / Sara Udon and Sasebo Burger “Champon / Sara Udon” and “Sasebo Burger” are selected as “Local dishes loved by nation” in Nagasaki Prefecture, and of course you can eat them all year round.
