Exploring The Dining Culture Of Yokohama

Not sure where to stop by in Japan? Eatagram knows an incredible destination: Yokohama.

As Japan’s second-largest city overlooking Tokyo Bay and a multicultural hub, Yokohama offers extensive gastronomic experiences. The city benefits from its coastal location, offering guests unforgettable sea views and an abundance of fresh seafood.

If you’re wondering what to try first, we recommend that you try shumai, the iconic Chinese steamed dumplings but with a distinctive Japanese flair. They’re filled with minced shrimp, meat and more various ingredients. Shumai are perfect as a snack or as a hearty breakfast.

If you adore noodles, you shouldn’t miss out on trying Iekei ramen, which is actually a fusion of ramen from Kyushu and the Tokyo-style ramen. The soup is often topped with slices of chashu pork, spinach, and a half-boiled egg.

The city is a culinary paradise for seafood enthusiasts. Take a chance to luxuriate in sakura shrimp sakura ebi, included in various specialties like sakura ebi kakiage.

If you’re in the mood for international cuisine, be sure to try local curries which come in a variety of flavors. We prefer korokke, a Japanese style variation of curry including croquettes. Or enjoy Chinese dim sum, Peking duck. Absolutely worth trying!

When it comes to drinks, you really must try the city’s selection of beers. Local breweries produce a wide range of stouts and pilsners and do their best to use innovative brewing methods. Here’s to your vacation in Yokohama!

Yokohama will impress you with its bright flavors palette.
