Shououken

It is Shoouken, one of the three most popular stores in Nagasaki, Kyushu. Shoonken was founded in the Tenwa first year in the middle of the Edo period. The first owner, Yamaguchi Sadasuke, opened a shop in Hondaikocho, Nagasaki City, selling confectionery and Nagasaki cakes. It has been passed down and operated to this day and its main products are Nagasaki cakes of various flavors, as well as cold fruits such as jelly. The recommended Gosan Yaki is an evolved version of Nagasaki cake, with a slightly adjusted ratio of the three ingredients. Also called five-flavor cake, it is the best cake in Nagasaki.

The desserts provided by this restaurant are very delicious and freshly baked. The best one is the chocolate cake. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and the service is very thoughtful.

I was wandering the streets of Nagasaki late at night and stumbled upon this little shop. The delicious tempura, the warm service and the cozy environment made my trip to Nagasaki a highlight.

After trying several stores, I feel that the products at the main store are much better than those at the branch stores.
