Anyway, my recommendation is to head to Yokohama for the day then, when you are finished, get the negishi (keihin-tohoku) line to isogo, come out of the station and follow the road to the left - after about 2mins walk (on the right), is the best ramen shop ever!

I will take a photo of it tomorrow if I remember (after posting my orig post, I realised how much I want to visit again hahaha!) so you know what to look for!
I agree... don't worry about finding restaurants before you get there, unless you want something very fancy and expensive. There are tons of little hole-in-the-wall places that have great food for reasonable prices. The best place to look is near any train station.
