• Eat your way through an especially food-obsessed area of Yokohama with a local host who’ll suggest delicious dishes according to your taste
• Try several of Yokohama’s most popular dishes at the spots locals love
• Explore the Noge area, and Yokohama’s Chinatown
• Learn about the history of Yokohama through food – from 160-year-old Chinatown to gyunabe restaurants that opened in the 1800s
• Have your helpful host on hand to translate, order, explain and recommend any dish

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.
