The food in Yokohama is as diverse as the people and culture of this glittering port city. Get ready for a slice of that diversity as you join one of our hosts to eat your way around Yokohama, stopping off at the places where locals really eat. No touristy restaurant for you.

Try dishes like gyunabe, a delicious beef hotpot dish that originated in Yokohoma and is made with traditional Japanese seasonings, and the locally famous napolitan, a Yokohama-born pasta dish traditionally made of spaghetti, a tomato-based sauce, onion, mushrooms, green peppers, sausage and bacon. As you can see, there are tonnes of dishes that have origins in Yokohoma so it's the best place to eat truly authentic food.

You'll indulge in the Chinatown speciality, Annin soft cream, from one of the small corner shops of the lively district or slurp the best ramen in town at the Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum, which is not actually a museum but more of a food court devoted to the Japanese ramen noodle soup. And while you are at it, taste the award winning beer that Yokohama is famous for. Made from locally-grown vegetables, you will find a myriad of flavours at the local breweries. There is a whole world of food to discover Yokohama and your host can't wait to introduce you to it, and the many dishes that define the city's food scene. Just make sure you wear your stretchiest pants.
