My wife and I hopped on the train on Wednesday night and headed up to the Yokohama Sogo department store to check out some modern futons and actually try them out.  Then we had dinner upstairs on the 10th floor at Jin Din Rou, a chinese restaurant specializing in dim sum.

Cold chicken with peanut sauce

We opted for a couple of samplers, first of the soup dumplings, and second of the shumai.  Also we ordered a cold chicken with peanut sauce appetizer to round things out.  We were planning on ordering more if we felt hungry, but ended being quite satisfied.

Soup dumpling sampler

Of the soup dumplings, the oolong tea were the best, with the crab being a close follow up.  The shumai wasn't that great in my opinion.  The cold chicken was delicious.

I would have given this place a Very Good if it wasn't so pricey, especially compared with the dumpling spot right next to where our church is meeting now in Ueno.
