Kagetsu Review

This quiet hilltop retreat is Nagasaki's most prestigious restaurant. Dishes are served as kaiseki (Kyoto-style multicourse meals) or shippoku, an elaborate course blending Asian and European elements. Lunch runs from ¥5,200 to ¥11,000; dinners start at ¥11,000. The interior wooden beams date to 1618, when Kagetsu was reputedly a high-class brothel. According to another local legend, Meiji Restoration leader Ryoma Sakamoto once took a chunk out of a wooden pillar with his sword during a brawl, leaving a still visible gash.
