Barraca – Yokohama
I found a place in yokohama to get sparkling wine and paté. This might not excite you, but for me, it was the silent apex to an already cool day.
After watching the F. Marinos rock their soccer-ness earlier in the day, we headed back to Yokohama for some drinks and eventual dinner. I recognized Barraca, the Italian sister to the Spanish Bar that I love so much (Chabola in Motomachi), and convinced the group that we should give it a go.
They have a fantastic patio table that was great for watching passerby, and also for not disturbing the serious diners with our giggling. (That’s Dave, to the right of Jon, and Will’s friend-of-a-friend Phillip?)
This is Julie. Julie is quickly becoming a regular guest on the teamEggers show, and we’re happy to have her. She can match me bite-for-bite and is always up for trying something new. Oh, and she’s hi-lar-ious.
I’d love to come back to Barraca to see how they do with a more serious dinner (and not just snacks). They just might be the shining star in the otherwise shoddy Japanese-Italian dining sphere. Which is to say… they didn’t suck. And my other experiences with Italian food here haven’t been… good.
(For those of you in the area, Barraca is located on the Isezaki pedestrian street, near Kannai Station in Yokohama)
