I know this just looks like any old storefront sign, but it's not. That is because it says the following on the right-hand corner (from top to bottom):
Super Unchi
Chinese-style Unchi
Japanese-style Unchi
Healthy Pig
Yep, it's the ultimate Unchi store! Unchi = poop.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Seems this is a Chinese restaurant that's trying very hard to look Japanese - and failing miserably. They wanted to say "lunch": ra-n-chi, but used similar-looking but wrong characters that instead spell out u-n-chi. It would be a supreme irony if their food actually tasted like crap, wouldn't you say?
