Retro snacks will be the order of the day at Baby Star Land in the new Chinatown complex Yokohama Hakurankan, slated for opening mid-March (145 Yamashita-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama). The Baby Star facility enables lovers of the potato-chip style snack to witness them being created right before their eyes—and then slurp them up hot and freshly made. Apart from other food outlets on the second floor “Oyatsu Factory,” the Hakurankan will boast a Yokohama market as well as a garden terrace to sip Chinese tea, eat sweets, and zone in on the Zen.
