Nagasaki offers unique attractions like Huis Ten Bosch and Gunkanjima, but don't miss the local culinary experience: Turkish rice. Despite its name, this dish features a pork cutlet, rice pilaf, and Napolitan pasta, creating a surprising yet beloved combination.
For the best Turkish rice, head to Nicky Arnstein, a restaurant recommended by Nagasaki's taxi drivers. With around 200 varieties, the most popular is 'Turkish rice #703,' a generous plate featuring a pork cutlet, croquette, omelet, and salad.
Nicky Arnstein has two locations, including one at JR Nagasaki Station. Be prepared for a wait during lunch, but the generous portions and delicious flavors, especially the creamy croquette, make it a worthwhile culinary adventure.
