Inokuchiya

Nagasaki


Away from the Shianbashi nightlife district but worth the trip, this cool spot has a wine shop fronting a warren of rooms for sampling wines, shōchū (a strong distilled alcohol) and Nagasaki sake, alongside delectable small plates of pâté, carpaccio and salads. There's not much English on the menu, but you can usually make yourself understood.
