📜 Restaurant Details
It is said that the "Kyoboumen" representing Nagasaki was transformed into a Japanese-style dish by the first owner of Shikairou, based on noodle dishes from his hometown of Fujian Province. Made with seafood caught near the coast and a generous amount of vegetables, it has been beloved by the public for over a century and is now a local dish of Nagasaki Prefecture.
The key to the deliciousness of Kyoboumen lies in its broth, which is made by simmering fresh whole chickens and pork bones over low heat. The milky-white broth is fragrant and sweet, without any off-flavors, perfectly complementing the specially made thick noodles. Another signature dish that rivals Kyoboumen is "Sara Udon." It is said that this noodle dish also originated from Shikairou, characterized by its lack of broth, with thin and crispy noodles. People in Nagasaki Prefecture are accustomed to drizzling sauce over it, making it just as popular as Kyoboumen. It is reported that there are over a thousand establishments in Nagasaki City serving Kyoboumen and Sara Udon. If you’re unsure which one to choose, you might want to visit "Chuka Ryori Shikairou" to taste the classic flavor of the original noodles.
