Tsuruchan
Founded in Taisho 14 (1925)—the oldest coffee shop in Kyushu. Famous for the 'Original Nagasaki-style Milk Shake' invented by the founder, and 'Toruko Rice'—a Nagasaki specialty combining tonkatsu, pilaf, and spaghetti on one plate. Double winner at the inaugural Nagasaki Gourmet Selection. A 100-year institution loved by both locals and tourists. Operating confirmed November 2025.
Tabelog 3.62 with 1,406 reviews. Many say 'eating toruko rice at this 100-year institution is practically a Nagasaki ritual,' 'the texture of the milk shake is unlike anything else.' 1,406 reviews is unmatched for a Nagasaki coffee shop. Some say 'not as good as the fame suggests,' but 100 years of local support is genuine.
