My job is to convey the charms of Kyushu and Nagasaki both domestically and internationally, and to encourage many people to come to Nagasaki. Moved from Tokyo to Nagasaki1A year and a half has passed, but even before moving to Nagasaki for work, I have been to Nagasaki every month.1I've been here for about a week, and the main souvenir I bought was castella (I remember Nagasaki when I think of it).Now I also buy castella when I'm on a business trip to Tokyo, etc. There has been a change. More options than castella, things + stories(episode)I now also send it along with it. Since you are a local, you can learn more about the products, and I think that if you tell them the background behind the products, you can convey the appeal of the products even more. I hope that the charm of Nagasaki will be conveyed to more people.

My recommendation is local sake! In Nagasaki prefecture20There are more than 10 sake breweries here, each of which produces shochu, sake, and other highly flavorful alcoholic beverages. The pairing of such prefecture-produced sake with Nagasaki cuisine, including fish, is the best.
There are endless recommendations...., Nagasaki Ichiban's ``Uoburg'' and ``Mori Sake Brewery'' in Hirado City's ``Hiran''. bonds KIZUNA ” How about that? A hamburger steak with the strong flavor of fish goes perfectly with sake, which has a refreshing texture and an elegant, deep flavor. ``Hiran'' comes in a luxurious package, making it the perfect gift for your loved ones.Actually, I wrote the words on the label as a calligrapher Seiyo (lol) I highly recommend it!
