Good things so often come in threes. Between the waterfront and Bashamichi Station are a couple of other Yokohama eateries that are well worth discovering.
80*80 (pronounced Hachimaru-Hachimaru) is a wonderfully funky, friendly diner that flies the flag for healthy living. The name sums up the ethos: 80 percent of all the ingredients it serves in its meals are grown, raised or caught within a radius of 80 km from the front door.
Visitors uncertain as to exactly what that entails can check the chalkboard map on the wall behind the counter. Kanagawa and most of Chiba are included, plus Sagami Bay as far as Oshima. That gives ample scope for the wholesome, vegetable-rich cuisine served up by the earnest, young staff.
