After playing, the atmosphere on the down platform of the Tohoku Shinkansen can feel lonely. In times like that, you have to enjoy it with food! Head to NewDays. - Makunouchi bento box 430 yen - Plenty of steamed chicken salad 398 yen - Cream bread 198 yen Other items such as beer and sushi total around 3,000 yen. *When I asked to warm up the bento box, they said there is no microwave. The small shop is crowded with lots of food and drinks, and the cashier looks busy... ❤️ I got on the Shinkansen, Pshh! Ahh, delicious beer. The bento box may be cold, but oh well (*´∀｀*) The cream bread was so soft and delicious ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Snow white azuki beans for 150 yen from Tokachi Seika (Tokyo). Found at the Hokkaido Fair at New Days. This snack is made with white azuki bean paste wrapped in a thin skin and coated with white chocolate. It's a well-made snack that might become very popular.

Today, I visited "NewDays Mini East H5C" on platform 20/21 at Tokyo Station around 9:30 PM. I didn't have time to explore, so I bought some snacks. I purchased the "Snack Quartet" for 411 yen. It's convenient that they are open until this late.

I don't know what "New Days Mini Higashi No. 5C" is, haha! Basically, it's a shop on the station platform. When I ride the Shinkansen, I often buy coffee. At Tokyo Station, buying coffee at the Shinkansen ticket gate costs around 380 yen, from a vending machine it's about 140 yen, but at this shop, a Doutor canned coffee was only 129 yen. It's convenient to have a coffee with a lid on the Shinkansen. This is good enough. The taste of Doutor canned coffee is a bit unique.

This is the pre-opening purchase for the izakaya Shinkansen. Even though it's not Wednesday, I chose the Wednesday Cat from Yaho Brewing. It's a White Ale with a soft flavor. It's a small convenience store, but it's located on the Shinkansen platform, so it's convenient.

I was drinking barley tea on the Nozomi train. I had over an hour and a half ride on the Joetsu Shinkansen ahead of me. While waiting, I visited the convenience store on the platform. I found black coffee while waiting in line, so I decided to go with that. It was a coffee from Doutor that I was used to drinking. I almost finished it before getting on the Shinkansen.

The must-have companion for Shinkansen rides is definitely the Ruby chocolate. No matter where you buy it, it tastes the same. I even tried the Hokuriku limited edition, but I think the regular one is better. I thought I'd have miso soup for breakfast, but the canned miso soup I bought was not delicious. I don't know how it ended up that way, but canned miso soup is not tasty. Canned fruits are also not delicious. It's a disappointing start to the journey.

I arrived at Tokyo Station after transferring from Haneda using the monorail and JR. I stopped by this shop on platform 21 to do a little shopping. I saw several Newdays stores on the same platform. There were also some very stylish looking shops. The store is small but has all the essentials. The bento boxes are more affordable than station bento boxes, which is great for business travelers. The store is small, so there is a one-way system for lining up at the register. It is well organized, so even during busy times before departure, you can shop quickly. Of course, you can pay with Suica.

On December 31, 2021 (Friday) at 7:35 (according to the receipt) at Tokyo Station Shinkansen Platform 20, I bought a drink and a dorayaki with red bean paste for 130 yen. Although you might think "dorayaki," it was actually a request from my brother for a "red brick anpan." Unfortunately, the Shinkansen departing at 8:08 wouldn't make it in time for today, so I settled for this item as a substitute. The red bean paste was rich and brought out a delicious flavor.

Just before departure, the key is to buy cold items as cold as possible and warm items as warm as possible. At the station bento shop, only buy bento boxes. Here, you can also get drinks and ice cream. It's bustling here.
