Turkish Rice and Milk Shake at Kyushu's Oldest Café
About this spot
A café near Shian Bridge (思案橋) that claims to be Kyushu's oldest. The retro signage and rows of red chairs transport you into a world of Showa-era nostalgia the moment you enter. The signature dish is Turkish rice, a Nagasaki-born Western dish with tonkatsu, pilaf, and spaghetti packed onto one plate. Equally famous is their original Nagasaki-style milk shake—a sherbet-like 'drinking milk shake' made by freezing and shaving condensed milk and eggs, offering a cool, gentle sweetness perfect to cap off your food walk. This historic port-town café preserves the region's café culture and provides an ideal finale to your gourmet day.
Tips
As a popular spot, tables can fill up even during afternoon snack time. Turkish rice is generous, so consider sharing a plate and focusing on the milk shake after all your eating. Combining this with a stroll through the nearby Hamachi Arcade is recommended.
Best time to visit
Plan about 60 minutes. Mid-afternoon after the lunch crowd clears allows for a relaxed visit.
