Naminé nearly jumped as the hedgehog seamlessly laid the choice on her shoulders. To be fair, it wasn't entirely because of that that she was startled; she'd been staring with a little apprehensive at the waiter's(?) strange wings, and being noticed for another reason was almost as bad as getting caught outright. She gave the man one last glance before joining Sonic at the menu.

To be perfectly honest, she was having only marginally better luck reading it than he was. The second word seemed to consistently spell out "ramen," but the first words down the list didn't seem to spell anything at all. Or be in any particular order. At random, she picked the most legible of them and sounded it out.

"Um... 'sh..shoyu ramen.'" Purely by chance, she pronounced it right on the first try, but she looked to Kariya for confirmation - and a second later decided maybe it was better to ask Sonic instead. "What's shoyu?" she whispered.
