I went to yomise last night. The name of yomise literary means a shop opened at night. “Yo” is from “yoru” which means night. “Mise” usually means shop, but in this case it is “yatai” which is a small, mobile food stall.
At yatai, they sell yakisoba, takoyaki, ikayaki, baked apples, mizuame, beer, soft drinks and many other things. Wikipedia in English only mentions about yatai in Fukuoka-prefecture, but it exist everywhere in Japan.
However, when we say yomise, we mean a night festival with 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 there were too long lines of people in front of every yatai.

Thank you.

"Exist" should be "exists". "I wasn’t able to buy anything because there were too long lines of people in front of every yatai" should be "I wasn't able to buy anything because the lines of people in front of every yatai were too long".
