What you’ll do
You’ll explore the city’s lip-smacking local food scene, tasting everything from gyunabe, Yokohama’s hearty beef hotpot, to fragrant sakura (cherry blossom) flavored ice cream. Firm favorite sashimi moriawase – a selection of raw fish – is a must-try, as is its less common cousin, shime saba, a fillet of mild mackerel cured in sea salt and vinegar.
But if you’re not keen on uncooked mackerel, you could enjoy it as crunchy, breadcrumb-battered, deep-fried aji furai with an ice-cold beer instead. In Chinatown – the largest in Japan – you could feast on nikuman (pork or beef-filled bao dumplings) and a bowl of slurpy soup noodles or try noodles of a different kind at one of the many soba or ramen restaurants lining Noge’s narrow streets.
