Nagasaki Champon
A bowl of cloudy white soup containing pork, shrimp, kamaboko (fish cake), and an abundance of vegetables. Slurping these thick, chewy noodles, where the umami of all the ingredients has melted into the broth, will warm you to your very core. It is credited to Heishun Chen, who founded Shikairo in 1899. Having migrated from Fujian Province to Nagasaki, he reportedly took the flavors of his homeland and rearranged them to create an affordable and nutritious dish out of concern for the dietary needs of Chinese students in Nagasaki who were struggling financially. It is said that the name originates from a Hokkien greeting meaning 'to eat a meal,' and the recipe was never even trademarked. It is a dish that has taken root as the taste of Nagasaki, born from the desire to make it something that anyone could enjoy.
