Quick noodle lunch in Kita-Kamakura

Back to Tokyo. We've seen dozens of Japanese sleeping in trains during our two previous days and assumed that they were overworked, sleep-deprived office workers. To our amazement, on a Sunday afternoon, this is what we saw during our train ride, a full row of sleepers.
Our destination back in Tokyo was a big property development in the Roppongi district.
We had dinner in the food court of the North Tower, at Sakura Dining Kitchen.
Grilled Snapper, brown rice, miso soup and pickles
Salmon, salmon roe and avocado & chicken and egg set meal:
We then proceeded towards Cold Stone Creamery for dessert.
Two friendly employees singing while preparing our order..
and voila: Whip'n Murasaki-imo (Green tea ice-cream with double murasaki-imo mousse whipped topping) and Mint Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip (mint ice-cream, brownie, chocolate chips fudge).
After all this goodness, time to call it a day.
