Hello everyone! I’m Noguchi Takeshi, your Nagasaki YouTuber and Google Local Guide Level 10. Today, I’m taking you to one of my absolute favorite gourmet spots in Nagasaki City: BABAKE.

If you are planning a trip to Nagasaki during the warmer months, there is one dish you simply cannot miss—the Summer Limited Chilled Soup-less Dan Dan Noodles (冷製汁なし担々麺). I love this dish so much that I make sure to come back every single year!.

【Why BABAKE is a Must-Visit】 BABAKE is highly recommended for tourists because they have three convenient locations near major sightseeing spots:Edomachi Branch: Near the Shinchi Chinatown, Hamamachi Arcade, and Shianbashi (This is the branch featured in today’s video!).

Nagasaki Kaido Kamome Market Branch: Located right inside Nagasaki Station.

Kozen-machi Branch: Near the famous Meganebashi (Spectacles Bridge).

【The Star of the Show: Chilled Dan Dan Noodles】 This seasonal specialty is priced at 950 yen. In this video, I ordered the A-Set (1,100 yen), which comes with a choice of topping and a side of rice or an omusubi.

The experience starts with the texture—the noodles are chilled to perfection and have an incredible chewiness. Once you thoroughly mix the noodles with the rich sauce, you get a perfect “umami-spicy” explosion with the refreshing kick of sansho pepper. I highly recommend adding an Onsen Egg (soft-boiled egg) as a topping to make the flavor even more mild and creamy.

【The Pro Tip: Don’t Forget the Rice!】 My favorite way to finish this meal is by adding rice to the leftover sauce. BABAKE’s rice is exceptionally well-cooked and shiny, making it the perfect companion for the spicy Dan Dan sauce. It is truly satisfying until the very last bite
!

【Menu Highlights】 While the chilled noodles are my summer favorite, BABAKE offers fantastic standard options year-round:
Ramen White (950 yen): A mellow salt-based soup with charred green onions.

Ramen Black (950 yen): A flavorful soy-based soup with black garlic oil (ma-yu).

Mala Tantanmen (1,050 yen): For those who love a spicy, numbing heat.

Whether you are here for a quick lunch or want to enjoy some noodles with a beer in the evening, BABAKE is a top-tier choice that I support wholeheartedly.
