Sakura energy drink. Avoid+.

This is the Japanese equivalent of McDonalds.
Well, Japanese McDonalds is the Japanese equivalent of McDonalds, since they have shit like th McTeriyaki burger
but this is the traditional Japanese food equivalent of a Big Mac
Actually, this is a limited time special dish, so it's the Japanese equivalent of a BBQ McAngus burger or some shit.

You get the point...

Booze and pudding eases the pain.

more pudding drink.

Breakfast on day 2, slightly different, not as good.

Matcha Latte with espresso, just have a matcha latte or a cafe latte seperately.

yuzu alcohol

train themed bento

one of the better bentos inside a train package

this table and cup holder suck, since the cup holder has to be away for the table to be put in place or put away.

a little bland compared to the smokey one from earlier

instant soba (with a little dehydrated pork slice)

cheddar cheese flavah

more instant soba

chestnut cake, not that great.

Tempura glass prawns at the Hotaru Ika museum restaurant

Firefly squid pizza at same

Glass shrimp flavor. While clearly shrimp Glass shrimp taste different to regular shrimp/prawns.
I don't know how to describe it, but these chips do manage to taste different to regular shrimp/prawn chips
in a similar way to the difference between glass and regular shrimp. Or maybe it's psychosomatic.

convenience store soba

seasonal instant noodles

booze flavored with a variety of color themed fruits

little chewy candies that you're supposed to chew more than one of at a time to combine into different flavors.

Glass shrimp tempura Eki Ben

Not the freshly made restaurant quality stuff by any stretch of the imagination
but still pretty good.
