17 World Series food and drink specials to celebrate the Dodgers

Share via

The horchata is dyed blue, the garlic fries are on menus in full force, and, in at least one bar, there are free shots to be had every time Shohei Ohtani hits a home run: This weekend the Dodgers are playing the Yankees in the World Series for the first time since 1981, and the whole city is turning blue.

You could celebrate this monumental matchup by dining at some of the Dodgers’ favorite Los Angeles restaurants or, if you’re headed to one of the home games, drop by one of the best restaurants and bars near the stadium. But there are fantastic, limited-run items to be found all around the city — not simply near Chavez Ravine — and for some, these specials are a celebration not only of L.A.’s boys in blue, but of culture.

What unfolded at loanDepot Park on Thursday transcended what many thought ever possible in the sport — even for someone like Shohei Ohtani.

Sept. 20, 2024

Given its proximity to the stadium, its 23 TVs spread across the inside bar and patio, and its location in Little Tokyo — just under the Robert Vargas-painted mural of Ohtani — Far Bar is one of the city’s go-to spots to watch a Dodgers game. All season long, and continuing into the playoffs, Far Bar hands out free shots of Sho Chiku Bai junmai sake every time Ohtani hits a homer. Owner Don Tahara estimates he’s given away 70 1.8-liter bottles’ worth so far. this season It’s a pleasure, he said, especially in honor of Ohtani, one of the world’s most famous Japanese athletes and rising stars.

“If you look at Little Tokyo from a historical standpoint, it was the center for the Japanese and Japanese Americans for 140 years,” Tahara said. “It was the hub. And because Shohei is who he is, he’s like a superstar personality now in Little Tokyo. He’s a source of pride.”

Up the block. Brian Kito, third-generation owner of legacy mochi confectionery Fugetsu-Do, echoed the sentiment. Kito and his family are offering blue-colored Sho-Mochi in honor of the player, who represents so much not only to Kito but to Little Tokyo and Japanese Americans.

Dine at the Dodgers’ favorite restaurants in Los Angeles, including a legendary sushi spot, an iconic burger chain, Nashville-style hot chicken and more.

Oct. 24, 2024

“We’ve had some pretty famous Dodgers in the past, but nobody to the caliber of Shohei,” Kito said. “We’re so proud to see a Japanese face, and doing so successfully … being Japanese American, you feel a real kinship. Like when watching the Olympics we root for [the] U.S., of course, but we also root for the Japanese: ‘That person looks like me,’ you know? So having Shohei on the Dodgers and being a baseball legend, becoming a baseball legend, is really proud for us to see.”

In honor of Ohtani and his jersey number, here are 17 Dodgers-themed items, specials, events and discounts to find on game days or every day through the World Series.

Far Bar

Downtown L.A. Bar
With 23 TVs blasting the game indoors and on the patio, and in the heart of Little Tokyo just beneath the Shohei Ohtani mural, Far Bar is one of the city’s top spots for viewing. Even Robert Vargas, the muralist behind that now-iconic mural, is a regular. Look for a range of specials during World Series games, such as a free sake shot whenever Ohtani hits a home run, or dishes and drinks such as a furikake-topped, bacon-wrapped Little Tokyo Wagyu Dog or the Sho’time cocktail, which contains Haku vodka, Midori, yuzu and pineapple. The Shohei-inspired sushi roll, available only during games, features spicy tuna inside — representing Ohtani’s Japanese heritage — and avocado on top, representing California. “That’s the whole idea: the mixing of the cultures,” said owner Don Tahara.

Fugetsu-Do

Downtown L.A. Sweets shop
As a former baseball player himself — and a Dodgers season ticket holder — third-generation Fugetsu-Do owner Brian Kito wanted to represent his blue pride, especially in honor of Ohtani. Fugetsu-Do currently sells soft, chewy blue-toned fresh mochi filled with Belgian white chocolate ganache in packs of three or six, calling them Sho-Mochi and charging $3.50 and $6.25, respectively. Kito first created the confection at the end of last season, when Ohtani’s move to the Dodgers was in high speculation. The treat was a hit, and Fugetsu-Do began offering it more consistently in late summer of this year. The Kito family is now awaiting custom-ordered “LA” stamps from Japan, which they’ll use to further decorate Dodgers-themed mochi.
