Kocho Dim Sum Shop Main Store
A classic choice for street food in Yokohama Chinatown.
Home to past champions of the World Chinese Cuisine Competition, Kocho is a renowned restaurant group that brings its award-winning flavors to the heart of Yokohama Chinatown. At its flagship dim sum shop, visitors can casually enjoy a wide variety of freshly made delicacies.
The signature item is the Original Handmade Champion Pork Bun, made with dough crafted from naturally fermented old starter yeast. The long fermentation process locks in the rich aroma of wheat, while the soft bun is filled with juicy pork filling. Another highlight is the Vegetable Bun, packed with fresh vegetables for a healthy option, served with a choice of three different sauces to vary the flavor-a new and unique take on a classic. Both are perfectly sized for eating on the go.
Other popular offerings include the oversized Braised Pork Belly Bun with thick, tender slices of pork, the Black Pork Bun, and the Shrimp & Chive Pan-Fried Bun, which combines chewy dough with plump, juicy shrimp. Together, they make for an irresistible lineup of Chinatown street food favorites.
