I got Granclass ticket finally
My advice to all is that, look around, if Tokyo to SHin-Aomori is full, try Tokyo to Sendai, then Sendai to Shin Aomori on Green Car or something else!
Now…I really wish Resort Yamatori reservation can be made online too..

E5 trains are currently being used for some other services like Nasuno. They have gran class seats but no extra service like the attendant and the meals.
There is probably some website in Japanese which lists these trains (not all Nasuno services are run by E5′s). But one way is to use hyperdia and see what classes of service are offered. If gran class is available then the train is an E5.
