Submitted 12/18/24. "Poké nagomi" is a restaurant serving bowls of raw fish over rice. "Poke" is a Hawaiian word meaning "to slice", and was used to refer to the pre-European practice of eating sliced raw fish, which transformed into the Japanes dish of sliced fish over rice (ポケ), now gone global (the accent on the anglicized spelling indicates that the word should be pronounced with two syllables). "Nagomi" (平和), meaning "peace", is the name of a Japanese philosophy for finding harmony, balance, and inner peace. On the glass window, there is also the standard "Halal" sign, written also in Arabic حلال.
