Having arrived late on the domestic connection from Haneda (actually just after 10.20 pm) all shops and restaurants are closed! 

I'm not particularly hungry but longed for hot food! Lucky me, found this hot food vending machine! I almost couldn't believe my eyes! Even fried rice is available although out of stock for the night. I tried the "pancake" (not sure what it's called) and it actually tasted good!!!
Not bad at all for ¥370 especially out at nowhere!
