Now you can read and practice your Japanese while you read. The first three kanji from the top are the name of the store: Kitakata. 喜多 is Kita. 方 is kata. Kitakata =喜多方. The Happy Way (?) Below the 喜多方 is raamen (ラーメン). The third raamen from the right is onion raamen, (ネギ = Negi = leek). The first one is the Kitakata Raamen shop's specialty, which I didn't try. It's the cheapest at about 525 yen but it has four or five slices of fatty pork. The rest are about 700 to 900 yen. I tried 味噌 (miso) 野菜 (yasai = vegetables) ラーメン which is the 7th from the right, almost directly under the light. You can just make out that it costs ¥714.
(By the way, prices used to NOT include the 5% sales tax. Now they do. So a price that used to be ¥200 is now listed as ¥210. To make it more convenient for shoppers to figure out how much they'll really have to spend. I have a feeling Women's Groups had a big influence on this decision.)
