Good Enough to Eat (GEE) is the name of this little Italian place in
Shibuya. Wonder if there are any stores where the name says Not Quite
Good Enough To Eat, or Dont Eat.

Seems like they are stating the obvious a bit.

What strange store names have you seen?

    "ehkä söpö" clothing store is pretty funny. It means "maybe cute"

    It seems to be a SM2 chain store.
