This sign of a restaurant in Nakameguro (中目黒) and the funny part about it, make more sense if you know that the helmet in Japanese is called "kabuto" (兜), that the Japanese often pronounce the "u" in various words somewhat short and that in Japanese there are no words with two consecutive consonants unless the first one is "n". And also that the Japanese don't really understand what they are writing when they are writing using the Latin alphabet.
