Nagasaki Toruko Rice (長崎トルコライス)
Nagasaki city

The city of Nagasaki is located in the northwestern part of the island of Kyushu in the extreme western part of Japan. It has a history of engaging foreign cultures, and today there remains much evidence of the cultures of various countries that have touched the city and given it a richly cosmopolitan atmosphere. However, Nagasaki is committed to remembering its history, particularly the regrettable suppression of Christianity under the ban on religion and the terrible tragedy of the atomic bomb.

In this sightseeing city, very odd food name, Toruko Rice(Turkish Rice) is found. On the plate, pilaf, tonkatsu with demiglace, spaghetti with neapolitan sauce and vegetables are set.The origin of this large serving dish is not clear but in Nagasaki, Toruko Rice is serverd in many restaurants.
