Local specialty: Nagasaki Chanpon. A rich pork-and-seafood broth loaded with vegetables and thick noodles — born from Nagasaki's Chinese community in the Meiji era. Different from but related to Hakata ramen. Shikairoh (the original chanpon restaurant since 1899), or any of hundreds of local shops in the city.

Sushi restaurants in Nagasaki: common questions
How much does sushi cost in Nagasaki?
Conveyor-belt sushi runs ¥1,500–¥3,000 per person. A set (moriawase) at a counter restaurant is typically ¥3,000–¥6,000 at lunch and dinner. Omakase at a reputed counter in Nagasaki starts around ¥10,000 and can exceed ¥30,000.
Do I need a reservation for sushi in Nagasaki?
Kaiten (conveyor) shops don't take reservations — just queue. Counter restaurants with under ten seats generally require one, often days ahead; hotels can call for you. Mid-range places with set menus usually accept walk-ins early in the evening.
What's the etiquette at a sushi counter?
Eat each piece in one bite, soon after it is served. Dip fish-side down, lightly, and don't add wasabi to soy sauce at a counter (the chef already seasoned it). Hands or chopsticks are both fine. Ordering "omakase" means the chef chooses; "okonomi" means you order piece by piece.
