Guest Room

We arrived at Baishokaku.

This was the guest room. It was a spacious Japanese-style room.

Bedroom

This was the bedroom area. There were also comfortable chairs and a table in the front.

Bathroom

These were the amenities placed by the bathroom sink. Lotion, milky lotion, cleansing oil, and other toiletries were provided.

Nagasaki City and Nagasaki Port

This was the view from the room.

Since Baishokaku is located halfway up the mountain, it offers a panoramic view of Nagasaki City and Nagasaki Port.

Nagasaki Station and Nagasaki City

This was the view taken at a different time.

The long white-roofed building in front of the harbor is Nagasaki Station.

Appetizers and Sashimi

On the first night, we had Shippoku cuisine, and on the second night, kaiseki cuisine.

This photo shows the appetizers and sashimi from the Shippoku meal.

Appetizers

These appetizers were served on a large plate shaped like Dejima.

Sashimi

This was the sashimi course.

Serving the Individual Appetizers

We served ourselves the individually portioned appetizers and enjoyed them.

We also had some beer with the meal.

Zoni-style Soup and Braised Pork Belly

Hatoshi

This is the famous Nagasaki dish called Hatoshi.

The Chinese dish “Harusii” (shrimp toast) was introduced to Nagasaki.

“Ha” means shrimp, and “toshi” means toast. It is made by sandwiching minced shrimp paste between slices of bread and deep-frying it.

Dessert

These were the desserts.

Appetizers, Sashimi, and Ingredients for the Hot Pot

On the second night, we chose the kaiseki cuisine course.

This photo shows the appetizers, sashimi, and the meat and vegetables prepared for the hot pot dish.

Sashimi

This was the sashimi course. It looked extremely fresh and delicious.

I believe the selection included tuna, sea bream, and yellowtail amberjack.

Japanese Sake

This is “Fukutsuru,” a junmai ginjo sake from Hirado, Nagasaki.

Appetizers

These were Japanese-style appetizers.

They included chawanmushi, roast beef, and tuna dressed with vinegared miso sauce.

Japanese Sake

This is “Rokujuyoshu,” a locally brewed Nagasaki honjozo cold sake.

I enjoyed it while eating the tuna with vinegared miso sauce.

Main Dishes

The delicious dishes also paired perfectly with the sake.

The item on the yellow plate is deep-fried dried shrimp.

Rice and Miso Soup

I ended up having two servings of rice: plum-flavored mixed rice and plain white rice.

The red bowl contains red miso soup with green laver seaweed.

Dessert

Since it was December, the desserts were served in festive Christmas-themed dishes.

Breakfast Buffet

This was the breakfast served the following morning. It came with clam miso soup.

The buffet was excellent, offering around 60 different dishes, so I ended up piling quite a lot onto my plate.
