  • History/origin/related events

    Nagasaki Milkshake is an iced dessert that originated in Nagasaki City in the late Taisho and early Showa periods.
    The first tearoom in Kyushu, Tsuruchan, is said to have made milkshakes with crushed ice to make it easier to beat the scorching summer heat in Nagasaki. It became so popular that it was subsequently offered at numerous shops in the city. It is now known nationwide as "Edible Milkshake" in Nagasaki.

  • Opportunities and times of eating habits

    For a while after its inception, Nagasaki milkshakes were served only during the hot season. As it became a Nagasaki specialty and tourists began to demand it, it was offered all the time. Since the basic recipe is simple, it is often made and eaten at home.

  • How to eat

    Although all you need to make Nagasaki milkshake is milk, eggs, sugar, and ice, but the recipe varies depending on the shop. Each shop has its own recipe, which varies in taste and texture depending on the ratio of ingredients, the presence or absence of secret flavors, and the size of the crushed ice.

  • Efforts for Preservation and Succession

    (Outline of the traditions, the preservation society, social media use, modern approaches to commercialization)
    MilkShake, an idol unit that was once appointed as Nagasaki City Tourism Ambassador, is still actively promoting the appeal of "Nagasaki-mirukuseki" at events and concerts.

RECIPE

Ingredients (for 2 servings)

  • Egg yolk 1
  • Sugar 2 tbsp.
  • Condensed milk 1 tbsp.
  • Milk 100 cc
  • Vanilla essence A little
  • Cherries (canned) 2
  • Ice 150g

How to cook

  • 1. Combine egg yolks, condensed milk, milk, sugar, and vanilla essence in a container and mix well.

  • 2. Put 1 and ice in a blender and break into small pieces until it is smooth. The trick is to stop when the ice is still in the mixer, as too much mixing will melt the ice.

  • 3. Pour into a vessel and top with cherries.
