About Koguma
Koguma is a Yokohama venue with a listed spending range of JPY 3,000–3,999 per person, a casual dress code, and Tabelog 100 - Okonomiyaki - 2025 recognition. That makes it a straightforward option to consider if you are looking for an evening meal in Yokohama and want a place with a clearly stated price band.
The hours point to dinner service only: Koguma is closed Monday, open Tuesday through Saturday from 4:30–10:30 PM, and open Sunday from 4:30–9:30 PM. Other operational details such as seating layout, payment methods, reservation rules, terrace availability, parking, takeout, delivery, and specific menu items should be checked directly before planning around them.
What to Order Across Multiple Visits
The only category-level recognition available here is Tabelog 100 - Okonomiyaki - 2025, so Koguma can fairly be framed around that recognition without inventing a detailed dish list. Specific toppings, sauces, set menus, drinks, and specials are not listed.
If you are planning more than one visit, use the basics to set expectations rather than relying on menu claims. The price range is JPY 3,000–3,999, the dress code is casual, and the operating hours are evening-only. For anything more specific, including what is available on a given night, confirm with the restaurant.
How It Fits the Yokohama Landscape
Koguma’s profile is concise: Yokohama location, casual dress code, JPY 3,000–3,999 spending range, evening hours, and a Tabelog 100 - Okonomiyaki - 2025 listing. That is enough to position it as a notable Yokohama option without adding unsupported details about neighborhood, station access, seating capacity, or service format.
For planning, the most dependable information is the schedule. Koguma is closed on Monday; Tuesday through Saturday service runs 4:30–10:30 PM; Sunday service runs 4:30–9:30 PM.

Restaurant context
At JPY 3,000–3,999, this venue undercuts Sumibi Yakiniku Horumon Urara (JPY 5,000–5,999) and Teuchi Soba Fuurai Kyo (dinner JPY 4,000–4,999) while offering a format, tableside teppanyaki, that neither can match. Berg no Shigatsu Honten (JPY 2,000–2,999) costs less, but lacks the Tabelog 100 credential and the interactive cooking component that makes okonomiyaki a social experience rather than a solitary meal.
Mira! Tama Plaza, priced similarly at JPY 5,000–5,999 for dinner (JPY 2,000–2,999 lunch), offers a broader menu but no category-specific recognition. For diners seeking value and a format that rewards repeat visits, the okonomiyaki specialist edges ahead. If your priority is variety over mastery, or if you need lunch options under JPY 1,000, La Belle Colline (under JPY 999) or Teuchi Soba Fuurai Kyo (lunch JPY 1,000–1,999) offer lighter meals closer to Tama Plaza Station.
Book here if you want a format that doubles as entertainment, or if three years of Tabelog 100 inclusion matters more to you than a polished dining room. Choose the yakiniku or soba alternatives if you're after a quieter meal or a lower check average.
