Music and Dining in a Setting That Re-Creates Yokohama of the Past

Heart & Soul

Tabiiro’s picks: signature dishes

Napolitan pasta also available in a half-size portion

Rich, Buttery "Heart & Soul's Famous Napolitan!"

This "Heart & Soul" take on Napolitan has been a staple since the restaurant opened in 1997. Rich and full-bodied with plenty of butter, it evokes the nostalgia of Napolitan, a Yokohama-born dish from the Showa era, and remains a longtime favorite among locals. Along with the hearty regular size, a half size is available for a light bite or when drinks are the main focus. Paired with nostalgic music, this classic dish offers a taste of Yokohama nightlife that continues into the present day.

Must-try signature dish

• 

  "House-Made Orangettes"

  This set pairs crackers topped with cheese and house-made orange marmalade with house-made orangettes, making it a natural match for drinks. The marmalade pairs especially well with whiskey, while the orangettes combine sweetness and refreshing citrus notes with the slight bitterness of the peel and the richness of chocolate for a more mature flavor.
