What does the sign say, I wonder?

  1. Left hand window says tobacco.
    Other signs are for broiled chicken, some noodles, etc.
    The usual corner shop in Japan.

  3. And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply.

    I am gob-smacked that none of you other smart-a$$es didn't think of that first.

  6. On Netflix check out "Midnight Diner" and "Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories." It is a Japanese TV show that is very popular according to a Japanese friend. It concerns a diner, about this size, open only from midnight to 7 a.m. The stories and characters are quite amusing and some of them are rather poignant. And, there is a theme dish for each show. At the end, the characters explain some tips about making the dish. Highly recommended.

  11. Also there is a Chinese film call "Midnight Diner" only this one is set in Shanghai. Same theme of a medley of characters. Not so much emphasis on an episode theme of a particular food.

  12. The sign is universal language for " Walk in, eat raw fish, get dizzy, puke and fall in it"
