    Nagasaki Pref. Shimabarashi Jounai 1-1208-3
    This is a restaurant well-known as the original restaurant of the Shimabara delicacy “Guzoni”, standing right across from Shimabara Castle. Guzoni is prepared by boiling vegetables such as shirona (a leafy vegetable), lotus root etc., with chicken meat, conger eel, and omelette in a soup stock. The wonderful flavor of the bonito stock soup is so popular, people queue to eat here. In addition to Guzoni dishes, there are various set menus to choose from. It is a nine-minute walk from Shimabara Station.

    島原城周辺は飲食店が少ないため、平日にもかかわらず昼食を利用する客がこのレストランに集中します。14時過ぎでも駐車場が満車の状態で、列を成していることが多く、その人気ぶりがうかがえます。 店内は広く、焦げ茶色の落ち着いた色合いのテーブルや椅子が、純和風の食堂の雰囲気を漂わせます。スタッフの多くは地元の女性で構成され、テキパキと動きながらも丁寧さは損なわれていません。ほぼ全ての席に客が居ても、注文か...

    Nagasaki Unzen-shi Obamacho Kitakisashi 3168-7
    At this Japanese restaurant, you can eat Obama chanpon, a variety of chanpon which has evolved into a dish quite different from the standard variety of chanpon born in Nagasaki. The restaurant's chanpon has a light flavor and customers can choose to have it made with or without eggs. The restaurant's chanpon, which has even been featured in various media, is so popular, it sells out at times. The Irishio Gozen meal, which is made with seasonal ingredients available at that time of year, is also highly regarded. The restaurant also offers a variety of staples such as donburi rice bowls, udon and other noodles, and teishoku set meals. Tachibana Bay can be seen from inside the establishment.

    お目当の小浜ちゃんぽん以外にもいろいろなメニューがありました。刺身、アラ煮、海老フライ定食など、どれも美味しそう。 ちゃんぽんは海鮮の出汁が効いたサラッとしたスープで美味しいです。少ししょっぱいかな。お昼時、人気店らしくどんどんお客さんが来てあっという間に満席になってました。

    島原市でのランチで伺いました。 場所は鯉の泳ぐまち観光交流センター「清流亭」のすぐ近くです。 階段に3組ほど並んでいましたが、10分ほどで入店できました。 せっかくなので島原の郷土料理「具雑煮」をいただくことにします。 具雑煮にいなり寿司のついた「梅膳」を注文。200円増でデザートを「かんざらし」に替えてもらいました。 「具雑煮」はゴボウや里芋などの野菜に丸餅が入った島原のお雑煮。甘めの出汁の...

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
