Warm your heart with hotpot, strawberries in Yokohama

The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, a cultural and commercial complex in the city’s Naka Ward, will host two different events for food lovers starting late this month and running through mid-February. The facility holds events throughout the year, mainly using the open space between warehouses 1 and 2. The facility, which was constructed as a customs warehouse in the early 1910s, comprises two buildings facing Yokohama Port. It ceased being used as a warehouse in 1989 and was renovated into a complex housing restaurants, shops and a hall. The first event is called Nabegoya (hotpot shed). A special tent will be set up in which visitors can enjoy various kinds of nabe hotpot while relaxing on tatami mats. Dishes will include kiritanpo nabe, at ¥900 per serving. The hot pot features kiritanpo baked rice bars, a local food of Akita Prefecture.
