A traditional-style rice store.

おかげさまで is a set phrase. It means "Thanks to you" or "Your support enabled this". This store has been around for twenty years, and the store master shows his gratitude: "Thanks to you all, it's our twentieth anniversary!"

Hibiya, Tokyo. I think the typography here is very original. I've seen something similar, but I don't think I've ever seen this font before...

The cafe is closed for refurbishment.
