Nagasaki Champon

Nagasaki Champon is a signature noodle dish of Nagasaki that was born at the Chinese restaurant Shikairo during the Meiji era. The rich broth is based on pork bone and chicken bone, and is generously filled with seafood such as shrimp, squid, and clams, along with ingredients like cabbage, bean sprouts, and fish cake. The flavor that intertwines with the thick, specialty noodles is extraordinary. Famous restaurants are scattered throughout the city, centered around Shinchi Chinatown, offering different toppings and flavors at each establishment. The sister dish, Sara Udon, is also a must-try item.
