🍜 Free Pavilion Tea Room自由亭喫茶室

The Jiyutei Coffee House is a café located within the "Glover Garden," a tourist facility featuring a row of Western-style buildings that utilize the remnants of foreign residents in Nagasaki. This building was originally a Western-style restaurant called "Jiyutei," operated by Japanese chef Takayoshi Kusano during the Meiji era, and it has now been modernly recreated with a menu that reflects the dishes from that time. Guests can enjoy leisurely dining in a nostalgic atmosphere. The signature dish is "Braised Beef," characterized by large chunks of beef and vegetables that are slow-cooked for an extended period. The rich sauce, filled with the sweetness of the ingredients, enhances the layers of flavor. Also recommended are the "Cranberry Tart," inspired by the Scottish heritage of Thomas Glover, the former owner of Glover House, and the Nagasaki-style drink "Hydrangea Fruit Jelly Soda," which features colorful jelly. You can also savor the taste of "Dutch Ice Coffee," which is brewed through a drip extraction process lasting about 24 hours, all while gazing at Nagasaki Port and the streets of Nagasaki.
