A souvenir of Hiroshima from a friend.
It seems to be read as "Maneki".
I had an image that it made dry sake, but it was more modern and I drank it quickly.
A restaurant near my office specializing in Yamagata ramen started serving cold ramen for lunch, so I went in.
The soup and noodles were delicious, though a bit salty, but the coldness of the soup and noodles did not defeat the taste.
The third picture is the counter of the restaurant. It is a sight for sore eyes from noon.
