A little snack before lunch
Chai Delica, which is famous for its grilled xiaolongbao, also recommends the "Nagasaki Seikou Koshomochi"

Chaiderika is located a 2-minute walk from Shinchi Chinatown. ``Nagasaki-yaki xiaolongbao,'' which is a Nagasaki-style take on the soul food of Shanghai residents by the owner, who is originally from China, is popular, but what I really want to recommend here is the ``Nagasaki success pepper mochi.'' The crispy and chewy puff pastry is filled with meat filling seasoned with 6 types of spices, including Japanese pepper, and you'll be addicted to it once you take a bite. The meat filling is an arrangement of Taiwanese pepper mochi using Unzen Momiji Pork, a brand from Nagasaki Prefecture, and has a punchy, exotic aroma that makes me think I'm at a Taiwanese food stall every time.

Lunch is full with “kufufu”
We also recommend the "Italian Hamburger Lunch" from <primrose>, which is famous for its Turkish rice.

This restaurant is famous for its Turkish rice, located along the Nakashima River, which also includes Megane Bridge, but the pasta and hamburgers are also very delicious! Among them, the "Italian hamburger lunch" is one that I am ``actually a big fan'' of because of its deliciousness every time. The hamburger steak is an attractive combination of a comforting homely taste and a slightly refined feel. When you put a knife into a grilled hamburger steak topped with cheese, the juices that come out are irresistible. The sweetness of the meat juice and the sourness of the tomato sauce have a perfect balance.garnishThe fluffy scrambled eggs and plenty of salad are also very satisfying. Great location right in front of Meganebashi!

After lunch, stop by for sweets while taking a walk
We also recommend the ``Lemon Cake Set'' from Shouken (Cafe Seville), which is famous for its castella cakes.

While walking along the street along the tram tracks, I headed for Cafe Seville, located on the second floor of the main store of Shouken, which was founded in 1681. It goes without saying that this is a long-established Nagasaki castella store. It's located right next to the new Nagasaki City Hall building, so don't forget to stop by the 19th floor observation deck of the city hall, which is mentioned in a separate article. This shop's recent favorite item is the lemon cake set. A new menu using lemon castella dough, which has been gaining popularity since its release, will be available from May 2023! The refreshing, bittersweet flavor of candied lemon peel from Nagasaki Prefecture and the sweetness of castella are coated with lemon-flavored chocolate. It's a little different from the standard castella, but you can enjoy the taste of a long-established store, so it's a dish that makes you feel like you've earned something. It is a limited menu item at Cafe Seville, and is also available in cute boxes as souvenirs.

Whether at a cafe or take-out
We also recommend the ``apple pie'' from <Baigetsudo>, which is famous for its sea cream.

Returning to Hamacho Arcade, the next place I want to visit is a long-established Japanese and Western confectionery store that has been loved for many years. By far the most famous is "Sea Cream," an original cake only available in Nagasaki topped with yellow peach and pineapple that was first made in Japan by Baigetsudo in the early Showa era. ” and “Ponmu Bikkuri Ringo.” It's one of the oldest menu items, and you'll be addicted to the crispy puff pastry and plenty of sweet apples. What is "Ponmu"? A whole apple and a generous amount of custard cream are wrapped in puff pastry, and the crispy pastry covering the whole apple goes perfectly with the candy. If you want to take it easy, head to the cafe ``Salon de Fine'' on the second floor. You can enjoy ``sea cream'' and ``apple pie.'' "Ponmu" is takeout only.

For dinner or as a finale
Kaniya, which is famous for its rice balls, also recommends ``Oden.''

The best way to end your day in Nagasaki is at Doza, the downtown area. Kaniya is the standard after-drinking dish. This onigiri specialty store is very popular not only with locals but also with tourists. All 33 types of rice balls are made with S-rank Koshihikari rice from Niigata Prefecture and Ariake's finest seaweed, and each one is made with care. Kaniya has a wide variety of menu items other than rice balls. Kushiyaki, ochazuke, soup, Goto udon... Among them, ``oden'' is ``actually my favorite''. There are more than 10 types of oden, including radish, fried tofu, egg, and beef tendon, and the flavor of the sweet soup stock is so strong that the flavor permeates throughout your body. I hope you enjoy the atmosphere inside the store, which is bustling with customers. Depending on the time you visit, there may be a line!
