Hi.
Could you correct my English?

"Yomise"

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.
