Varieties of Fucha ryori cuisine range from the ones which are prepared at restaurants in the style of Kaiseki ryori (tea-ceremony cuisine), and are quite similar to Japanese cuisine, to the ones which are close to the original ones prepared at Zen temples in Nagasaki or the ones which are quite similar to Chinese cuisine that adopt contemporary Sosai (the fact that there are many ethnic Chinese among supporters of Zen temples in Nagasaki and they receive many visitors from China and Taiwan during the Obon festival, could be the background).
普茶料理には、料理屋で作られる独自のスタイルを止めて懐石風に仕立てた限りなく日本料理に近いタイプのものから、長崎の禅寺で作られる原点に近く、時としては現代の素菜を取り入れた中国料理に限りなく近いもの（長崎の禅寺の檀家には華僑が多く、お盆などでは中国や台湾からの来訪者も多いためとも考えられる）まで幅広く存在する。
