Meanwhile, the Dodgers players had a dinner party of their own. Japanese players Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki hosted their teammates and coaching staff for a sushi feast at Torishige in Tokyo.

The Dodgers are in Japan for the Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs, beginning on Tuesday. Japan's Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shota Imanaga will square off against each other in Game 1.
