Chinese Cuisine

Yokohama has the largest Chinatown in Japan, and even in East Asia which boasts the history of 150 years, and if you want great Chinese cuisine, you can’t miss it. Many people here are part of the Chinese diaspora, and while many of the restaurants are Cantonese, you can also find Sichuan, Beijing, Shanghai, and Taiwanese restaurants here. The perfect place to enjoy a beer with your jiaozi, dim sum, noodles, fried dishes, or whatever else takes your fancy.

International Cuisine

Yokohama, a trading port and host to many international conferences, is a great place to enjoy international cuisine from around the world. With both restaurants that offer authentic dishes as good as back home and places that carefully incorporate Japanese ingredients in their dishes, there’s a whole range of tastes on offer. Many of the restaurants have owner-chefs, and with these sorts of places, with their emphasis on food, you’ll definitely want a beer or two.

Croquettes

Croquettes, made from mashed potatoes coated with flour, dipped in beaten egg, then rolled in breadcrumbs, are a common home-cooked dish in Japan. Yokohama’s croquettes are particularly beloved—in fact, every year, there are votes to determine the most delicious croquettes from any restaurant in the city’s retail areas. Pubs (izakaya) often serve their own original croquettes, so why not see if you can find your personal favorite style for enjoying with a beer?
