Nagasaki fish gourmet special feature

The potential of fish is something you realize all over again the moment you eat it. Puffer fish, conger eel, whales and ara... A delicious variety unique to this region, with a rich variety of fish species. Not only can you enjoy it with sashimi, but you can also enjoy it with hot pot, sushi, and even oden.
Perhaps the greatest luxury in Nagasaki is being at the mercy of Nagasaki's seafood. Take a leisurely swim through the streets of Nagasaki in search of delicious food.

In fact, Nagasaki Prefecture has the highest production of tiger puffer fish in Japan. It is the largest production area in Japan, accounting for about half of Japan's farmed tiger puffer production. The slightly candy-colored flesh is characterized by its plump texture.

At Kappo Kojima, we focus on tiger puffer fish from the Toishi area, one of the three major production areas in the prefecture, and use only those selected by our craftsmen. Thanks to this farmed puffer fish, you can enjoy high-quality and delicious food all year round.
This is a long-established kappo restaurant that is popular for its ``locally produced cuisine'' using seasonal local ingredients. We offer Japanese delicacies centered on seafood caught in the waters around Nagasaki, such as conger eel and stonefish in the summer, pufferfish and oyster fish in the winter, and even whale dishes available year-round. We also have a wide selection of local sake and prefecture-produced shochu, so enjoy the taste of Nagasaki along with the best seafood.

There are records of whale being eaten in Nagasaki since the Jomon period, and it is one of the ingredients that has long been associated with Nagasaki's food culture. It is a familiar fact that even today, individual consumption of whale meat ranks first in the country.
You can also see many related crafts and Nagasaki Kunchi performances (whale squirting).

Kappo Tombo is a specialty restaurant where you can enjoy Nagasaki's specialty whale cuisine to your heart's content. Whales have different charms depending on their parts, and you can enjoy them with a variety of menus such as sashimi, shabu-shabu, and whale cutlets. Of course, we also recommend hotpots and course meals that would be useful at gatherings and banquets. This restaurant is also perfect for entertaining guests from outside the prefecture.

Nagasaki has an intricate topography with many large and small islands and ria-style coastlines, and the distance from the coastline to the city is often very short. Therefore, the fish is naturally very fresh, and of course the sushi is also delicious.

Taichi Sushi is a sushi restaurant that has been run by a general who was born on Gunkanjima for half a century. We are proud of our fresh seafood, freshly caught from the waters near Nagasaki.
The recommended dish is the "White Tekkamaki." Although Nagasaki Prefecture is home to a rich variety of fish, the amount of red fish such as tuna landed is relatively low, and the prefecture used to mainly produce ``white tekkamaki'' made with white fish such as yellowtail, yellowtail, and yellowtail. And. Nowadays, many restaurants have shifted to red meat tekkamaki, but it's still going strong here.
The ``Gunkanjima Guide'' told by the general is also a treat.

Nagasaki, located at the westernmost tip of mainland Japan, faces the East China Sea, which is said to be the ``cradle of fish,'' where more than 10% (*) of the world's fish are caught and where many migratory fish gather to spawn and grow. It is an extremely excellent fishing ground that is rare in the world. Even the so-called high-quality fish ara (kueh) is relatively easy to enjoy.
*Calculated from 2005 world fishing boat production ▶From Sashimi City

At Ginnabe, be sure to try dishes made with ara (kueh), the ``mythical high-quality fish'' caught in Nagasaki.
The season is from around November until winter. It is said to be the most delicious of the grouper species, and there is almost no part to throw away, so it can be eaten in a variety of ways including sashimi, hotpot, boiled, fried, and grilled. This menu has a total of 11 dishes in the ``Ara Course,'' which includes arachiri, arani, arazashi, and more. Enjoy the blissful texture.
Established in 28, Ginnabe is a restaurant where you can enjoy creative Japanese cuisine created by fusing long-established tradition with modern elements.

Nagasaki, facing the East China Sea, is one of the best fishing grounds in the world, and the Nomozaki area at the tip of Nagasaki, which has a complex coastline, is a great fishing port with a deep cove. This is the perfect place to enjoy a wide variety of fresh seafood.

Issui Kana is a restaurant directly managed by fishermen that is located in a secluded area, but attracts a steady stream of customers from outside the prefecture. Nomozaki fishing port is nearby. Here, we use 4% Nomozaki fish that the owner caught at 100am! You can enjoy seafood bowl. The price is an unbeatable 800 yen, and the contents of the seafood bowl change every day, so it seems like a local restaurant. Many people come after hearing the rumors, so advance reservations are recommended.

Oden in Nagasaki is characterized by its ``Agodashi'' soup made from Nagasaki's specialty ``Ago'' (flying fish, which is called ``Ago'' in Kyushu), and the use of pastes such as kamaboko (kamaboko) as ingredients. I especially can't get enough of the elegant sweetness of the soup and the depth of flavor that gradually soaks into the paste.
If the fish is delicious, the ``nerimono'' will also be delicious. It is said that Nagasaki has the most kamaboko shops in Japan. It is called ``Kamaboko'' and is one of the local gourmet foods. In winter, I definitely recommend oden.

Momowaka is a long-established oden restaurant. There are many fish paste and kamaboko menus among the potfuls of toppings! The taste of the common people is perfect for a "town oden shop" where you can relax and enjoy. I took a bite into the oden, which had soaked in the dashi, and then took a quick sip. Enjoy a nostalgic and irreplaceable moment that can only be experienced at this restaurant.
