Overview

  • When Yokohama opened its port to the world in 1859, it didn't just change global trade—it fundamentally rewired the Japanese palate. Join a former chef and a culinary historian on a sensory journey through the streets of Yokohama.

This is a story of cultural collision, resilience, and the people who cooked their way through history.
