Most items and label with prices, but if not you can ask....
"Korewa ikura desuka?"

Rule number one : DO NOT TOUCH
All kind of
TSUKEMONO (pickles)
Pokie's favorite fish-cake, not bad for 80 YEN
The emphasis is on locally produced Japanese food items such as
tea, beans, rice, seaweed and fish.
Japan is a very modern country but still mostly a cash society, where cash is
the King.
If you know how to read Japanese or know what to look for, you'll even see the
odd bit of whale meat.
