I went to a yomise last night. The name of yomise literally means "a shop opened at night". “Yo” is the short form of “yoru” which means night. “Mise” usually means shop, but in this case it is “yatai”, or a small, mobile food stall.
A yatai usually sells yakisoba, takoyaki, ikayaki, baked apples, mizuame, beer, soft drinks and other food items. The English Wikipedia only mentions the yatai in Fukuoka-prefecture, but they exist everywhere in Japan.
However, when we say yomise, we mean a night festival that has many yomise. It’s a signature summer event.
It was on a station road near my house last night. I wasn’t able to buy anything because of the long lines in front of every yatai.
Thank you.

Sounds like a very delicious place to be on a warm summer night, Yuri. Too bad about the lineups, though. Maybe next year you'll find yourself in front of a yatai ordered whatever you want
