All the Japanese Food and Drinks to Try to Dodger Stadium | Eater LA

"Even with the fanfare surrounding Shohei Ohtani’s move from the Angels to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2023, few predicted the season-altering force he would become; many call it the Ohtani Effect, especially after the team won the 2024 World Series. When Ohtani comes to bat, cheers erupt through Chavez Ravine, with fans clamoring to catch a home run. Television ratings are up for Dodgers games, the number of Japanese tourists flying in to watch the Dodgers play has increased, and, as of March 2025, Major League Baseball jerseys bearing the name “Ohtani” are the most popular on earth. The ballpark has embraced the popularity of the Japan-born star, along with pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki, expanding its Japanese concessions to reflect the increased interest. "[Ohtani] has brought new fans," Dodgers CEO Stan Kasten told MLB.com. "He’s changed the mix of demographics at our stadium for games. We have changed some of the merchandise and some of the concession offerings." Below are some of the existing and expanded Japanese options at the ballpark for the 2025 season: Field Level; Reserve Level; Centerfield Plaza; Loge Level; Top Deck; Shochu." - Mona Holmes
