• Worth the Trouble to Find

This place is very difficult to find. Unlike the description says, it's not actually outside the train station, but rather in a building attached directly to the train station. It's located in the main building of a place called S-PAL level B1-F, which is actually two floors down below the main level (floor 2). It may be helpful to locate one of the Japanese maps of the building and ask for directions. There are also interactive maps with English as an option, but they're not particularly helpful. If you come in on tracks 2 or 4 for the local JR lines, it's down the stairs off the platform near the south exit. The staff was very helpful and they do have an English menu available. The food is not fancy, think the Japanese version of Veggie Grill. But since it's the biggest meal I've had in 3 days, with the most fresh vegetables of my entire trip so far (almost 3 weeks), I'm not complaining. I'll definitely be going back again! PS: Get the soy pudding. If you get a set meal it comes with a little cup and it's delightful.
