When he then asked Ohidari (小左) for water to drink, he was at a loss, there being no ready source to hand; praying to the gods, a spring issued forth, which he drew and proffered to the Heavenly Sovereign; from this the isle takes its name of "water island".[1] The island also features in two poems by Prince Nagata (長田王) in the Man'yōshū (III.245 f.).[2][3][4] As a joint designation with the local atmospheric and optical phenomenon known as Shiranui, Mizushima is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty.[5] It also forms part of the Japan Heritage "story" The Story of Masons who Developed Yatsushiro: Masonry Legacy in the Town of Masons.[6][7] |

| Champon (ちゃんぽん, Chanpon), also known as Chanpon, is a noodle dish that is a regional cuisine of Nagasaki, Japan. There are different versions in Japan, Korea and China. The dish was inspired by Chinese cuisine.[2] Champon is made by frying pork, seafood and vegetables with lard; a soup made with chicken and pig bones is then added. Ramen noodles made especially for champon are added and then boiled. Unlike other ramen dishes, only one pan is needed as the noodles are boiled in the soup. Depending on the season and the situation, the ingredients differ. Hence the taste and style may depend on the location and time of year.[citation needed] |
