If you can’t decide what to eat, visit this yokocho alleyway just minutes away from Yokohama’s main station. The seven izakayas here are all local favourites and the range is unbeatable. There’s Fish and Sake Hanatare serving seafood dishes, Maruki offers some of the best yakisoba in town with thick, chewy noodles and original sauce, plus yakitori from Motsushige, the famous Fukuoka-style motsunabe hotpot at Numata and wagyu yakiniku at Shigekichi.
If you’re looking for somewhere to grab a drink and a light meal, we recommend Beef Kitchen, which serves up affordable small plates like beef steak for ¥290. For something more international, Kanbei is stocked with all the Korean staples like bibimbap (¥780), chijimi scallion pancakes (¥680) and samgyeopsal grilled pork belly (¥1,080 for one).
