Meeting Point

Somewhere in the center of Nagasaki

In this tour, the tasting of local delicacies is central.

Typically we will walk around town from one food or drink experience to the next and on our way we will see some city highlights, hidden gems, a market, the river, a temple, old sweets shops and things like that. I will tell stories about how the Portuguese, Dutch and Chinese came to Nagasaki and how they influenced Nagasaki's culinary tastes.
