You can either say:
1. Yomise means...
* "to mean" has a sense of explaining entities#. So there is no need to say "name of *****" or "the word, *****" if it is only explaining something in a simple way.
or very very simply
2. Yomise is...
* "to be" has a sense of equating two entities. (yomise = nighttime store)

Hi, komitsuki. Thank you.
“Yomise means” seems to be good.
If I start with “Yomise is”, the next words should be “a night festival”. I should have written “Yomise means a small, mobile food stall opened at night, and is a night festival.” Is this correct?
Thank you very much.
