How to get around in Sasebo

Downtown Sasebo and shopping arcade are easily accessible on foot. For outlying areas, bus service or taxis are recommended.

Halal Restaurants in Sasebo

The most famous food in Sasebo is American-style hamburgers, owing to the influence of the U.S. Navy in the city. They typically include a fried egg and bacon or ham. Look for restaurants that are "certified" by the Sasebo Burgers Association, that way you'll know you are getting the "real" deal. Most certified shops are located in the downtown Sasebo area.

• Mike's Tex Mex serves superb food and is reasonably priced. Watch out though, it's small and very popular - sometimes you may have to wait outside on the bench! It can be found on the side street at the station end of the covered arcade (when facing towards the station from the arcade and the road is on your right at 45 degrees).
• Skinny's Just across the Albuquerque bridge to the left, it's a small local place and any sailor can tell you how to get there. Skinny is a great cook and his Fried Rice and Ham & Egg Sandwiches are tops when you are just a little hungry.
• Rock & Roll Brats serves traditional American brats, organic juice and drinks, and Coffee. The owner is American, and the staff (some of them American themselves) speak English. They have a Sasebo Brat Burger, a brat version of the local Sasebo burger. They're located in the Free Zone at the Huis ten Bosch Theme Park, a few stops on the Sea Side Liner from Sasebo.

Very roughly the city drinking establishments were divided into those catering to the Base personnel and those catering to the general populace. However the economic conditions have narrowed these distinctions considerably.

The bars for the general population are very interesting places, and the proprieters very friendly. Although they do not profess to speak English, all of them generally do enjoy English conversations.
