Tsuru-chan
ツル茶ん
A historic Kyushu kissaten founded in the 14th year of the Taisho era (1925), famous for its Turkish Rice and Nagasaki-style milkshakes, located right next to Shianbashi.
Tsuru-chan was founded in the 14th year of the Taisho era (1925) and is introduced as the oldest kissaten in Kyushu, as well as the creator of the Nagasaki-style milkshake. Turkish Rice combines pork cutlet, pilaf, and spaghetti on a single plate; there are over ten variations here, with the classic version priced at about 1,580 JPY and milkshakes at about 780 JPY (actual prices are subject to the store). The Nagasaki-style milkshake has a texture close to a sorbet and can be enjoyed as a dessert after the meal. The shop is located in Aburayamachi, about a 1-minute walk from the Shianbashi Tram Stop. Operating hours vary across sources, so it is recommended to confirm before heading there late in the evening.
