Located in Nagasaki City, "Kataoka" is a locally rooted long-standing Chinese restaurant. The restaurant has tatami seating, exuding a homely atmosphere. Families can visit without any hesitation, which is quite appealing.
The most popular dish is, of course, the classic "champon." The soup is made with a delicate chicken broth base, and it is filled with plenty of ingredients such as shrimp, seafood, and vegetables. The essential oyster flavor adds richness to the taste.
Another specialty is the "thick noodle udon." The noodles are homemade and have a delightfully chewy texture. Topped with well-seasoned simmered ingredients and served with a light, soupless style, it has received high praise.
The affordable prices are also a big draw. Even when ordering plentiful single dish items, the pricing is wallet-friendly. This is why the restaurant is beloved by the local community.
The recent talk of the town is the new creation, "Tomato Champon." While it looks like a regular champon, the soup is infused with the acidity and sweetness of tomatoes, creating a fresh and unique flavor. It is especially popular among women.
When visiting Nagasaki for sightseeing, why not stop by the popular and long-standing "Kataoka" and try it for yourself?
