History and origins

Nagasaki champon is said to have originated from a noodle dish made with seafood and vegetables created by Chen Pingshun, a native of Fujian Province who founded Shikairou in 1899. The origin of the word "champon" is said to be that it originally meant to mix various ingredients and was later applied to cooking. Other theories include that it comes from the Fujian word "shapon," which means to eat rice, or that it is a combination of the Chinese "chan" sound of a bell and the Japanese "pon" sound of a drum. It is also said that "Tang Rou Si Mian" noodles from Fujian Province have a similar taste to the original, and that this was adapted into champon.
Recipes vary from restaurant to restaurant, with some using primarily pork bone broth, others 70% chicken stock, and others 30% tonkotsu Ramen. Similar to Fujian noodle making, Wheat Flour are made by mixing wheat flour with lye, which gives them a unique flavor and acts as a preservative and sterilizing agent. It's also said that Kyushu's tonkotsu Ramen learned from Nagasaki champon the use of lard. Lard is used to stir-fry the ingredients, and it's said that Nagasaki champon made people realize the important role that lard plays in creating the flavor of Ramen. There are also over 15 regional champons across Japan, all of which have their roots in Nagasaki champon. Examples include Obama champon, topped with snow prawns from Obama Town, Unzen City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and Amakusa champon, topped with large shrimp from Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. Other varieties include Minamata champon, Takeo champon, Karatsu Ueba champon, Yawatahama champon, and Gifu champon.
