Much loved by local people and tourists alike, this busy restaurant is part of the fabric of downtown Nagasaki, having opened in 1968. So popular is its shippoku cuisine that it opened an outlet in Tokyo’s Ginza district in November 2018, to mark 50 years of business.
Concept
The restaurant is inviting and homely, much like its speciality shippoku cuisine, which dates from 400 years ago.
At that time, international traders flocked to Nagasaki as it was one of the few open Japanese ports. Most hailed from China, Portugal and the Netherlands, so the city developed into a melting pot. The result was shippoku, which is a fusion of ingredients, cooking methods and serving styles from each country.
Food
The cuisine typically uses fowl, fish and game meats, as well as vegetables and rice, and is served as several small dishes that comprise a full meal.
Ginza Nagasaki Shippoku Hamakatsu offers five kinds of sharing courses for groups, ranging from US$46 to US$82 per person. There are also meals for individual customers.
