I mentioned in my previous post that we'd taken a quick weekend trip to\nNagasaki, Japan<\/a> mostly to try different foods, as it has the longest\nhistory in Japan of integration with the outside world. Along these lines, we stopped\nby a Hamamatsu<\/a> location to try their\nshippoku<\/i> cuisine (\u9577\u5d0e\u5e02\u3001<\/span>\u6d5c\u677e<\/span>\u306e\u5353\u88b1\u6599\u7406<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n

The shippoku<\/i> cuisine is (said to be) heavily influenced by the\nlong Chinese presence in Nagasaki, but frankly, it all seemed like “normal”\nJapanese to me. Whatever you call it, it was tasty, so let's look at the\ndishes...<\/p>\n\n

A lot of dishes, but each one little, so the amount was just right for\nme. (You also get Japnese white rice in there, which I forgot<\/span> to\nphotograph. It looked<\/span> like rice.)<\/p>\n\n

Having lived in Japan on and off for 20+ years, I find it<\/span> odd that I\ndon't<\/span> recognize what makes this meal specific to Nagasaki... it wouldn't\nsurprise me to see something quite similar in Kyoto, except perhaps Kyoto\nwould tend to include tofu and yuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
