This type of evening out has become common among Japanese tourists. In fact, 80%-90% of Japanese nationals who visit Los Angeles want to see a game at Dodger Stadium, and many do so more than once, the city’s tourism board said. The influx of Japanese visitors has already inspired an expansion of Dodger Stadium’s food offerings: last year, the ballpark started offering takoyaki. This year, the hot new menu item was a katsu (cutlet) double-decker sandwich with Kewpie mayonnaise. But this influx of Japanese visitors has become more than just fandom — it’s a signal of a larger shift.
