Welcome to Nagasaki! Located on the western coast of Japan’s Kyushu island, Nagasaki is one of Japan’s closest port cities to the Asian mainland. As a result, since its opening in 1570, Nagasaki prospered as a window for trade with the West and China. Nagasaki was the sole place of direct trade and exchange between Japan and the outside world during the Sakoku period (1633-1853). It built a unique culture in which Japanese and foreign cultures coexist. This cultural integration still shows in Nagasaki’s districts of stately European-style homes and a large Christian population. Towards the end of World War II, Nagasaki became the second city after Hiroshima to be destroyed by an atomic bomb. In recent years, Nagasaki is home to several of the Hidden Christian Sites which have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Different regions have their own traditional recipes and agricultural farming system. Many of the regional dishes can only be tasted in the original area they came from.
Nagasaki Champon
A noodle dish invented in Nagasaki inspired by Chinese cuisine. The noodles are a little different from ramen, and they’re topped with vegetables, pork, and seafood for a highly voluminous dish. Although otherwise similar to ramen, champon noodles are cooked with creamy soup rather than added to it. It’s become such a representative dish of Nagasaki that you can find all kinds of restaurants around the city.
Sara Udon
Translated as “plate noodles”, Sara Udon is a dish in which a mixture of meat and vegetables is placed atop a bed of deep-crispy noodles. The dish is typically served with a topping of seafood, cabbage, bean sprouts, and other vegetables, though different meat varieties will be available on the menu.
