Tap water tastes better than Asahi Super Dry, so keep on driving (heading for better beer)
Stopping shortly before Sendai in Fukushima, hotels in Sendai full or expensive because of Jozenji Festival

333km sign - between Fukushima and Sendai
kind of "breakfast" in Sendai - 400g Ikinari steak, and the only beer they had was Asahi "water"
347km would be the distance just to Tokyo along road 4, but I started at the other end of Tokyo. Speedmeter was over 400 km including city riding and deviations

I forgot the manual for the Rinko Bukuro (bike bag)
It's complicated to use a rinko bukuro
