YOKOHAMA TO TOKYO TO SENDAI ON THE BULLET TRAIN

After the cruise, we spent two nights at the Sheraton Yokohama Bay.  A pattern is forming: Breakfast comes free with the room, and the buffet is grand and wonderful.  We eat so much that lunch is mostly unnecessary, Then there is the cocktail hour with appetizers.   We thus in four days including the first day of our train trip have yet to eat in a restaurant. There are variations to the above, but the following photos showcase cuisine more than travel scenes.  Our room was not ready when we checked into the Sheraton Yokohama Bay, so had a snack in the executive lounge.  No alcohol served until 5PM. A large underground shopping area is located below our hotel.  We went for a walk and saw the typical $131/pound wagyu beef.  We bought some o-toro and hamachi sashimi, onigiri and potato salad, plus beer and sake to have a light lunch in our room. We returned to the Executive Club at 5PM for cocktails and appetizers. Breakfast the following morning, followed by sashimi, Shanghai soup dumpl
