I finally had the chance to visit pesceco, a restaurant I’ve wanted to go to for a long time!I visited for lunch, but to get there from Tokyo, I took an 8 AM flight from Haneda to Kumamoto Airport. From there, I barely made it in time by ferry!■ The Tabelog Award 2026 Silver Winner ■ Selected as one of Tabelog's Top 100 Innovative Restaurants 2025 ■ Tabelog rating at the time of visit: 4.49*Location: 223-1 Shinbabacho, Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture *Access: 30 minutes by ferry from Kumamoto Port, 10 minutes by taxi from Shimabara Outer PortWhat I had: *Warm tea - White tea *White Magnolia Sparkling ● Cucumber and Goya ● Beach Walk - Tart with salted butter and sweet potato flour - Sea Urchin Pie - Iggisso ● Ripple Effect Seafood Salad Natural sweet shrimp with fish sauce, purple sea urchin, scallop, and kombu foam sauce ● Aftertaste Warm soup with rock oysters Grilled rock oyster scallops *Lemongrass Sparkling ● Fish & Ham Prosciutto Fried Katsuo ● Gane Somen Male blue crab with Shimabara's hand-stretched somen ● Octopus Bouquet Male summer octopus Head, legs, sauce, cucumber salad, topped with boiled suckers ● Steamed with Leaves Steamed Kijihata with fig leaves and lemon leaves Aromatic leaves *Hojicha ● Summer Abalone Abalone Steak ● One Pot Broth made from fish bones used today The first cup was soup-like and spicy with cumin and fennel The second cup was with simmered eggs, goya, and pickled chili ● Nostalgic Flavor Here are my impressions: Every dish was amazing, and I believe this is a place worth visiting even from afar. I was particularly surprised by the Octopus Bouquet. The dish, beautifully presented with the head, legs, sauce, cucumber salad, and carefully sliced boiled suckers, was not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious.And the Gane Somen! The blue crab paired perfectly with the somen, making it delightful.Both the chef and the madam provided excellent service, and despite the hot summer weather, I lost track of time and was able to immerse myself in the food, enjoying a wonderful experience!I’m grateful to the regulars who brought me here!☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ Thank you for visiting and reading until the end!
