Kanagawa Food Guide: Kiyoken Shumai, Yokohama Chinatown & Shonan Shirasu

Kiyoken Shumai

Yokohama's beloved shrimp shumai dumplings — flavoured with scallop dashi, they taste just as good cold as hot.

Yokohama Chinatown

Japan's largest Chinatown has over 600 restaurants, bakeries and shops. From dim sum to Peking duck, the variety is outstanding.

Shonan Shirasu (Whitebait)

Fresh whitebait from the waters off Enoshima and Kamakura — the raw version (nama-shirasu) is only available locally.

Kamakura Vegetables

Farmers around Kamakura grow heirloom vegetables sold at the famous Renbaijo cooperative market.

Misaki Maguro

Miura Peninsula's Misaki Port is a major tuna landing port. Tuna bowls and tuna burgers are celebrated locally.

Access

Yokohama's Chinatown and Motomachi are prime dining areas. Enoshima and Kamakura offer fresh shirasu by the sea.
