Reviews on Japanese food in Nagasaki, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Nagasaki (長崎市, Nagasaki-shi, Japanese: [naɡaꜜsaki]) ( listen (help·info)) is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan. The city's name, 長崎, means "Long Cape" in Japanese. Nagasaki became a centre of colonial Portuguese and Dutch influence in the 16th through 19th centuries, and Churches and Christian Sites in Nagasaki have been proposed for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

This is a very popular brand of manju in Nagasaki and no wonder, the meat is melt-in-your-mouth tender and the bun is pillowy soft. Don't leave Nagasaki without trying it!

I like the food here but the service is very cold and not up to Japanese standards. One cook (making soups) was way too condescending and not a pleasant person. He was goofing off and that was weird. One girl came in who did not speak Japanese and not one person could help her and she was so uncomfortable that she left the establishment. The staff were very rude to her and i was not impressed at all. Good onigiri but the service tsumetai. I have been to many restaurants in Nagasaki now and the service is always good except for this place.

We found Kaisen Ichiba on aTrip Advisor search. With the many very positive reviews we could not resist to try their food. The experience was exceptional, and enhanced by the enchanting harbour environment.

Kagetsu

Reviewed By mflickermd

When we arrived, we were not sure we were at the right place. We were finally greeted by kimono clad servers and shown to our private tatami room that overlooked a garden.Everything was classically beautiful including the food. We chose a kaiseki meal and we couldn't have eaten another bite when we were finally finished. Very little English is spoken here, but we did fine with our limited Japanese. The food was delicious. This was an expensive meal, but a worth while experience.

Yossou

Reviewed By Luigi_Fino

Those kind of places remind a bit of some Edo-period woodblock prints were large rooms with many people a depicted eating and having fun.For lovers of "chawamushi" this seems to be a sort of mecca. As it is not my thing, I can't really comment on that, but the rest was good and my Japanese colleague was very pleased

Sumibi Yakitori Torimasa Ebisucho

Reviewed By Coylum

Wonderful atmosphere with really good skewers, but also some more substantial dishes which were only in Japanese. Nevertheless we found the yakitori menu all we could wish.The hanger steak was great. All the bacon items like asparagus or quail egg. The potato in butter had been reviewed as great but isn’t, as it should be with garlic butter. The lamb chops were definitely better than expected and the pork items were good.Onion, mushroom not so great.Their remodeling of a Caesar salad was very nice. Tough to get a good salad. No anchovies, egg, croutons or garlic, but it was nice if not Caesar!6 minutes walk from the JR station.

Hakata Motsu Nabe Oyama Nagasaki

Reviewed By GVancouver

Ooyama is part of a national chain. The Nagasaki version is on the food floor of AMU Plaza adjacent to the main station.There is a small central room with no more than a dozen seats. There are several private tatami rooms off to the side for larger groups.The specialty is Motsunabe-style hotpot. A hotpot is placed between diners. You put your choice of ingredients into the bubbling broth. The hotpot was delicious, so delicious that we were drinking the broth like soup. The waiter had to bring a top up of hot broth. At the end noodles are brought to the table to be quickly cooked in the broth.The hotpot was terrific. Atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Decor gives no hint you're in a shopping mall restaurant. Service was very good, though their English was rudimentary so had to do a lot of laughing and pointing.
